Noah’s Ark

Noah's Ark is a platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System produced by British studio Source R&D and published in 1992 by Konami. It was only released in Europe. Unlike most other games based on Biblical content released around the same time, this one was officially approved by Nintendo. It is very loosely based on the biblical story with the same name.

The player controls Noah to rescue different animals across the world. Noah is aided by powerups. Ducks give the player different weapons; some items turn Noah invulnerable, in different form or freeze enemies. During each stage, water slowly rises, typically making him harder to maneuver.

The game takes place on all seven worlds based on continents and time periods (Europe based on ancient Rome, North America based on the Wild West, South America based on Inca Empire, Africa based on ancient Egypt, Antarctica based on Ice age, Oceania based on Prehistoric Australia, and Asia based on China or Heian period) with three stages per continent, thus having 21 stages total. At the end of the two thirds of the stages Noah has to fight a drainplug monster. Every third stage ends with a large boss fight.
