Super Noah's Ark 3D

From Wolfsource

Super 3D Noah's Ark is a video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and for DOS released by the biblical video game producer Wisdom Tree. On the SNES it was known as Super Noah's Ark 3D. This game is the only unlicensed SNES game that has ever been commercially released.

To play this game, one has to attach another Super Nintendo cartridge to it to bypass the SNES lockout technology; the cartridge itself resembles a Game Genie and has a port on top for a licensed cartridge to lock onto. The game itself is a clone of Wolfenstein 3D, as is evident from the many similarities between the games. However, instead of killing Nazis in a castle, the player takes the part of Noah, who needs to throw fruits and grain at stray animals. There is actually a conspiracy theory that id Software, fed up with Nintendo's censorship in the SNES version of Wolfenstein 3D, gave the source code for that game to Wisdom Tree for them to make into this game.

The game was designed as a first person shooter but it failed to become popular due to its lack of impressive graphics and marketing by any major organization. It was most commonly found in Christian bookstores.

Because the game is so similar to Wolf, it is unclear whether or not the game is actually licensed from id Software, or simply an illegal bootleg.

The gameplay is accessible to younger children. Noah's ark includes secret passages, food, weapons and extra lives. There are secret levels, and shortcut levels as well. The player eventually comes across a slingshot, and flings cantaloupe and watermelon at the larger boss-like animals, like Ernie the Elephant, and Carl the Camel.
