Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he had kept it open all these years. ~Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Bible

In the early to mid-80s, well-to-do families in the American South possessed a home computer. My family was no exception as we owned the best-selling Commodore 64. As an only child, it was a saving grace over the long hot summers.  I’d spend hours playing games like Where in the USA… or Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? or my all-time favorite Dungeons of the Algebra Dragons. Its safe to say that I complex math was the only thing Algebra Dragons taught, I also learned something about spiritual warfare.

The game’s backdrop is centered in a multi-story dungeon. As the main character, you are portrayed as a short-legged red-headed youngster. The multi-fold objective is to find two golden keys, then find your way out to safety. As best stated in a 1985 review: “There are three floors in the dungeon and where you are when you decide to exit determines how many ladders you must find.”¹ Although this may sound easy, its far from it because you are not alone.
