Am I remembering this correctly? |

Didn't you used to have a section in game oddities that showed all the various NES games that had crosses in them, or am I remembering it from something
else?

Must be some other site. I don't think I do.
I did mention the crosses in the overworld level of Kid Icarus in the Kid Icarus Shrine, but that's about it. |

Maybe I'm just extrapolating from the remark that you made in your Kid Icarus shrine in the Angel Land graveyard section. Perhaps I'll add a section in
my site for games with censored religious icons.

I know FO tends to point out omitted crosses in the oddities section, but I don't think there's a specific section where she does it.

There used to be a site called Mother 2 Earthbound & Back Again that explained all the changes made from the Japanese version to the American version,
which included a ton of censored/removed crosses, but I don't know what happened to that site. FO referenced it in the Earthbound Oddities section.
Censored crosses were also mentioned in FO's reviews of Castlevania 2 and Hydlide on some of the screenshot alt tags. "No one can withstand
the power of KAIN"

This is something I remembered seeing long ago.
One of the levels in Mappy-Land contains a church and a graveyard full of crosses. Also, Zelda 2 has crosses on the overworld around the graveyard: http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/ZeldaII-AdventureOfLink-Hyrule.png And a church with a cross in Mido, which is referred to in the dialogue: http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/ZeldaII-AdventureOfLink-Mido.png I'm almost positive if you get attacked while walking on the graveyard on the overworld, you'll fight on a background with crosses, but I can't remember it for a fact, and I can't find any screenshots, and I don't feel like playing up that far right now. Also, StarTropics has crosses on the tombstones in the ghost village: http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/StarTropics-Chapter3-StormAndCalm-Islands.png Every weapon shop in Crystalis is marked by a shield with a cross on it:
The Magic of Scheherazade calls this "The Star of Airosche"...
But let's face it - That's either a Star of David or a Pentagram.
There's one on your status screen, too, if you don't have a map.

Arkista's Ring cross, but I'm not quite sure if that's a gravestone or a secret exit or something...
Tyler is right about Hydlide Crosses on shields in the Camelot chapter of Zoda's Revenge: http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/Zoda%27sRevenge-StarTropicsII-Chapter8-Camelot.png

Okay, Tyler, that's taking obsession with my site a little too far, if you've actually memorized my screenshot's alt tags. LOL! Actually, all I did was search something like "censored crosses site:flyingomelette.com" and those two reviews came up. That background freaked the hell outta me when I was younger. That and the town with all the chunks taken out of the buildings and flaming eyeballs floating around. =(I'm almost positive if you get attacked while walking on the graveyard on the overworld, you'll fight on a background with crosses, but I can't remember it for a fact, and I can't find any screenshots, and I don't feel like playing up that far right now.I was right. About 2:00 - 2:12 of this video shows it: It also used to scare the pants off me whenever Link would suddenly fall down a hole in that game. "No one can withstand

Astyanax has crosses, too, in the catacombs level.
There are also pentagrams on the floor when you fight Jaquio in Ninja Gaiden, and he has one on his clothing, too. In fact, there are pentagrams all throughout Area 6. (Thanks for pointing out that vgmaps site. That is quite useful...) Edit: Some pretty blatant crosses all over the House of Ruth in 8 Eye's. Edit: Fort Wingate in Gun.Smoke.

Damn, I was just about to mention that about Journey to Silius.
I thought I remembered crosses in Monster Party, and there is one on a church in the final level. I thought there were others, but I guess not. |

I just realized that pharaoh boss in Monster party has bloody stubs where his arms should be.

I was thinking that Populous had crosses, but I guess it's actually the ankh. I
don't know if the game specifically says that the player is God, but it's fairly obvious, down to the Armageddon command.

If hospital crosses count, Faxanadu has them on the healer buildings.
What I said of Crystalis is also true of Final Fantasy's Armor Shops, although the cross is so small, it looks more like a plus sign. |

Thanks to: CoronyaHeh. Coronya and Crowdia are both me. Sorry about that. You might want to fix the height and width tags on some of the screenshots I submitted. They look blurry in Firefox, and if you look at the properties, it says something like 256px × 232px (scaled to 256px × 224px). Namely, Arkista's Ring Crystalis The Magic of Scheherazade Mappy-Land |

No worries. Were you forcing PAL emulation, or something? Thanks for all the submissions everyone!

Were you forcing PAL emulation, or something?Not that I know of, but if I remember correctly, I think I had to set FCEU to some weird resolution to get it to work on our monitor when we first bought it. |
