The last time Robert Westmoreland promoted a new concept for a computer game, the industry first laughed but then chased him, after his idea proved a huge winner. And starting today, he hopes that history repeats itself -- the Lord and the marketplace willing.

The fresh gaming idea he is promoting now? Christian action games. And his company's first entry, 'The War in Heaven,' is being shipped to stores this week. Whether this Doom-meets-the-Bible game will be a success is anybody's guess. Yet the 32-year-old Mr. Westmoreland has a track record as someone with an instinct for popular tastes in a game market that is broadening beyond its technophile roots -- a byproduct of the spread of personal computers into more and more American households thanks to fast-falling PC prices.

'It may sicken traditional gamers, but my gut feel is that this game will be a hit,' said Ann Stephens, president of PC Data Inc., a research firm that tracks the $1.5 billion-a-year PC game market. 'Besides, it sounds a lot more interesting than the last idea he championed.'

Mr. Westmoreland's last unconventional stance came a few years ago when, as the computer software buyer for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Mr. Westmoreland prodded the industry to make budget-priced hunting games. At first, his suggestion met bemused derision. But one adventurous computer-game publisher listened, and the result was Deer Hunter, a surprise best seller, prompting a flurry of hunting games and even a spoof title, Deer Avenger, in which the buck stalks the hunter.

So next comes the Christian action game. 'The War in Heaven' is published by Valusoft, which Mr. Westmoreland joined in September, after leaving Wal-Mart, as part-owner and executive vice president for marketing and development.

Until now, software with a Christian theme has tended to be staid and didactic, mainly Bibles and children's games that quiz players on their Bible knowledge. What qualified as a big-budget, entertainment product in the Christian niche was 'Charlton Heston's Voyage Through the Bible,' a CD-ROM released in 1995, with readings by Mr. Heston and video clips of the Holy Land.

By the standards of the genre, 'The War in Heaven' is a striking departure. In the action game, intended for Christian males 15 and older, a player is confronted with snarling monsters, with horns and wings, wielding swords and other lethal weapons. That is the challenge if the player chooses 'the Divine Path of Obedience,' becomes a good angel and progresses up the game's 12-step ascent to heaven. Yet a player can also choose 'the Fallen Path of Power and follow Lucifer,' become a demon and fight against shapely blondes with feathery wings.

'When you mention that it's a Christian game, people assume there's no violence,' Mr. Westmoreland observed. 'Sure, there's violence.'

Still, he notes, there are no gushers of blood and gore, so frequent in games rated for adults only. 'The War in Heaven' is rated 'T' by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, meaning it is recommended as suitable for people 13 and older.

Even before the game reaches store shelves, its playful approach to religious instruction has raised eyebrows in the Christian community and elicited qualms from some retail chains. But the two young men who created 'The War In Heaven' -- Theodore Beale and Andrew Lunstad, cofounders of the software design firm Eternal Warriors -- say that they have merely tried to create a Christian game that might appeal to a broad audience among players of computer games who were reared on the likes of Doom and Diablo.

The violence, they add, is a role-playing depiction of 'spiritual warfare,' a concept that has made some inroads into mainstream theology. Spiritual warfare, theologians explain, is the notion that nonphysical agents of good and evil are constantly at war and that their behavior affects people on earth.

Valusoft does publish some irreverent games, like Lawyer Hunt, but the company insists 'The War in Heaven' is not among them. And both of the game's creators are devout Christians who say there should be no contradiction in having fun on a computer game and learning spiritual truths.

'Honestly, this is a spooky thing to be attempting in some ways,' said Mr. Lunstad, 30, who was the chief programmer for the game. 'And let's face it, when you have angels fighting demons, it is going to be controversial.

'But,' he added, 'I truly feel that God called me to do this.'

To explain the instructional side of the game, Mr. Lunstad said that if a person chooses to play as a demon, he progresses by disobeying the Bible. 'But as you progress down the evil path, you have to do things that are more and more distasteful, from blasphemy to striking a praying angel,' he explained.

Without giving away the game, Mr. Lunstad noted that the evil path leads to self-destruction. 'And Theo and I really believe that to be true,' he said.

Gregory A. Boyd, a theology professor at Bethel College, finds the new computer game impressive. A scholar with graduate degrees from the Yale Divinity School and the Princeton Theological Seminary, Mr. Boyd is the author of 'God At War: The Bible and Spiritual Conflict' (Intervarsity Press, 1997), which made the case for spiritual warfare being a serious theological concept.

Mr. Boyd also has a 14-year-old son, Nathan, who has played a test version of 'The War in Heaven.'

'He loved it,' Mr. Boyd said. 'He compared it to Doom, except with a spiritual twist.'

The early reaction from Christian groups seems to be guarded, though not antagonistic. 'Our concern would be if this game mocked people of faith in any way,' said Mike Russell, a spokesman for the Christian Coalition. 'It doesn't sound as if it does, though it does seem to take a pretty unique approach to religious education.'

Are Demons Fallen Angels

Some of the big retail chains are apparently taking a wait-and-see stance toward the game, aware that customers can be unpredictably sensitive about products with religious themes. Wim Stocks, a senior vice president at GT Interactive, the distributor for 'The War in Heaven,' said last week that many major chains had agreed to distribute the game, but several were sitting on the fence. 'Some of the chains are nervous,' said Mr. Stocks, who declined to name the retailers carrying the game or those balking.

Priced at $19.95, less than half the price of traditional adult PC games, 'The War in Heaven' meets the industry definition of a budget game -- a fast-growing slice of the market, built largely on sales at big discount chains like Wal-mart, Target and Kmart.

Pocketbooks, a division of Viacom's Simon & Schuster book publishing subsidiary, is betting on 'The War in Heaven.' It is publishing a mass-market paperback novel by the same title, written by Mr. Beale, next spring. 'It's a good fantasy story, though definitely one with a different take than most science fiction,' said Scott Shannon, director of science fiction for Pocketbooks. 'And I thought it would be highly marketable.'

If the game is successful, Mr. Westmoreland of Valusoft predicts that Christian action games could become a sizable segment of the PC game business. 'There is plenty of source material,' he observed. 'You need look no further than the Bible for battles.'
