Description

"Super 3D Noah's Ark" is an unusual and often whimsical first-person shooter based on the biblical story of Noah's Ark, re-released by Piko Interactive for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). In the game, players step into the shoes of Noah, tasked with the responsibility of calming down the restless animals aboard his ark. Instead of using traditional weapons, Noah uses a slingshot to feed the animals with sleep-inducing food so he can put them to bed. The game features a variety of levels, each densely populated with different animals that challenge the player’s quick reflexes and aiming skills. The unique non-violent approach combined with strategic gameplay elements makes it stand out in the genre.

Historically, "Super 3D Noah's Ark" has the distinction of being the only unlicensed game released on the SNES in North America. Initially developed by Wisdom Tree in 1994, the game utilized the same game engine as "Wolfenstein 3D," leading to a predominantly similar gameplay experience but with an entirely different and family-friendly theme. The re-release by Piko Interactive breathed new life into this quirky title, allowing new generations of players and collectors to experience a classic 90s video game with a distinctive twist. The reissue remained true to the original gameplay and graphics, preserving its retro charm while ensuring compatibility with modern hardware.
