Overview

Super 3D Noah’s Ark, also known as Super Noah's Ark 3D, is a Christian-themed non-violent first-person shooter developed and published by Wisdom Tree for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Platform) in 1994, with a DOS PC release in 1995.

A conversion of id Software's Wolfenstein 3D (Game), Super 3D Noah’s Ark is based on the story of the biblical boat Noah's Ark, with players wandering the Ark as Noah and using fruit and grains to feed and pacify the unruly animals aboard before they knock him out. Much of the game plays like the original Wolfenstein 3D, with guns replaced with different forms of slingshots.

While the game's engine itself is licensed from id Software, the game's original SNES version is notable for being one of the very few unlicensed games released for the console during its lifespan, being sold in an unusual pass-through cartridge that required players to insert a licensed SNES game into its top slot (which bypasses a SRAM check that Nintendo was using to determine if the cartridge inserted was a legitimate game).

Publisher Piko Interactive later received a license for the game, reprinting the SNES version in 2014. They also digitally released an enhanced PC, Mac (Platform), and Linux (Platform) release on May 26, 2014 (on itch.io) and June 23, 2015 (on Steam (Concept)), making use of the modern ECWolf source port while providing the original SNES and DOS versions for emulation. The game also received a conversion for the Sega Genesis, published by Piko Interactive on February 7, 2018 (sometimes as "Mega 3D Noah's Ark").
