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, you play Noah who needs to throw fruits and grain at stray animals. Thus the game was designed as a first person shooter but it failed to establish any popularity due to its lack of graphics and that no major organization would market it. It was most commonly found among Christian Book Stores. The graphics are a toned down version of Wolfenstein 3D's graphics, licensed from id Software. The gameplay, more commonly suited to younger children, has its perks as well. Noah's ark is riddled with secret passages and secret food weapons, extra lives, and etc. There are secret levels, and shortcut levels as well. You eventually come across a slingshot, and fling canteloupe and watermelon, which you launch at the larger bosslike animals, like Ernie the Elephant, and Carl the Camel. It is commonly rumored that id Software gave Wisdom Tree the Wolfenstein 3D code, because Nintendo made id change the SNES port in order to make the game look less violent, which turned off many players and made this port very unpopular.
