Mitzvah Man (ages 8-adult)

Mitzvah Man
Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Fun, Pac-Man style game
•  Over 1000 questions; Two levels
•  Fun way to learn facts of Jewish law
Cons  •  DOS-like install; 3.5” disk; mouse navigation unwieldy
•  Boy-oriented (play symbol, high scorers “greatest men”)
•  Presumes better-than-average Jewish knowledge
The Bottom Line - An easy and fun way (Pac-Man-like game) to learn serious Jewish concepts. Despite the slightly out-of-date look and feel, the game is still entertaining and educational.

Guide Review
A Torah PacMan Action Game

Offering over 1,000 questions in six main areas, Mitzvah Man is a fun way to build knowledge of Jewish law. Meant for a user with an understanding of Judaism, the game presumes a knowledge of Hebrew terms and offers transliterations, but not translations. From the 3.5” diskette, to the instructions explaining how to install from DOS and Windows ’95, the installation is a reminder of the 1996 copyright date. While Mitzvah Man supports navigation by mouse and keyboard, the game is best played with arrow keys. Despite the slightly out-of-date look and feel, the game is entertaining. Like the Pac-Man game it is modeled after, Mitzvah Man has cute sound effects and a colorful interface. Play it to learn serious Jewish concepts while having fun!
