Color Dreams was based in Brea, California, and was started by Daniel Lawton, a self-educated computer programmer and vocal opponent of Nintendo's licensing policy.

Color Dreams had great difficulty accessing the retail market, and worked outside of mainstream NES distribution channels.

Also, many of its games were reported to have problems getting to run properly, occasionally even requiring instructions on the cartridge, and were criticized for their lack of quality and gameplay.

"[1] Nintendo never threatened any legal action against Wisdom Tree, and probably feared a public relations backlash from parents and religious groups.

[1] A Wisdom Tree product catalog shows Joshua & the Battle of Jericho as a side-scrolling game using the Bible Adventures engine.

[7] The company's first release as Wisdom Tree is Bible Adventures, a three-in-one multicart with many gameplay elements from the American Super Mario Bros. 2, applied to three different Bible stories: Noah collecting animals for the Ark, saving Baby Moses from the Pharaoh's men, and re-enacting the story of David and Goliath.

Spiritual Warfare is an action-adventure game similar in style to The Legend of Zelda, with the requisite religious theme where the player, as a foot soldier in the Lord's army, is tasked with saving the souls of the heathen populace, using fruit of the spirit.

Sunday Funday is a 1995 conversion of the Color Dreams game Menace Beach,[6] and is the last commercial NES release in the United States.

This conversion of the Wolfenstein 3D engine features the player as Noah, quelling upset animals on the Ark by flinging sleep-inducing fruit at them.

The company released an all-in-one "TV controller" system featuring seven of its NES games in a single, self-contained unit.

In 2014, retro gaming website Stone Age Gamer began selling licensed T-shirts based on numerous Wisdom Tree properties including: Bible Buffet, Sunday Funday, Super 3D Noah's Ark, and Exodus.
