''VeggieTales'' is a Christian 3D-animated children's series made by Big Idea that premiered in 1993.

In 2005, Big Idea made an online game called '''''Duke and the Great Pie War''''', made to promote the ''VeggieTales'' episode of the same name. 

==Background==
The game was made specifically for a sweepstakes event that ran from February 23 to March 20, 2005, on one of BigIdea's websites ''PieWar.com''. In the sweepstakes, contestants could create an account to play the game, and whoever got the highest score would win ''VeggieTales'' prizes. 

After the sweepstakes were over, the game was moved to Bigideafun.com, where it remained there until the ''VeggieTales'' website was revamped in 2011. The game was also on the official [[VeggieTales (partially lost NBC TV version of CGI animated series; 2006)|Qubo]] website for some time.

==Gameplay==
All that's known of the gameplay is that it involves launching a character named Otis (Mr. Lunt) into a bucket of slime with a catapult. The player would have to use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the aim of the catapult, and press the space bar to launch him into the bucket of slime.

==Availability==
A [broken] .SWF file for the game exists on the Wayback Machine, but it only goes as far as the loading screen, leaving no gameplay.

On March 26th, 2020, Computerdude77 found the full game on pramery.net. It was eventually put on BlueMaxima's Flashpoint. Because the full game can now be played, the initially broken .SWF file can now include the game if both files are downloaded.
