This item is a great as a collector's item, but on it's merit as a game is strictly a novelty. In case you don't know the history on this game, here goes... This (by all accounts I've ever heard), the ONLY UNLISCENSED game released for the Super Nintendo console. It was released by Wisdom Tree (who made Bible games). The game is a direct clone of Wolfenstien 3D, except your only "weapon" in a slingshot and your "enemies" are angry animals from the ark that you have to "feed" to make them fall over "asleep". The cartridge itself works and looks pretty much like a Game Genie. This is because you have to stack an officially liscensed SNES game on top of it to bypass the system's security chip so that the game will be allowed to play. So the real appeal of this game is in it's rarity and it's primarily a conversation piece. Collectors will love it for those reasons, while someone looking for an original and engrossing game will likely be let down.Read full review
Super Noah’s Ark 3D was made in 1993 by Wisdom Tree. This is one of the few games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) that was not licensed by Nintendo. The game itself is a straightforward port of Wolfenstein 3D, with altered graphics and sounds. Instead of killing Nazi soldiers in a castle, the player takes the part of Noah, wandering the ark, throwing fruit and grain at stray animals in order to pacify them. There is an urban legend that id Software, fed up with Nintendo of America's censorship in the SNES version of Wolfenstein 3D, gave the source code for that game to Wisdom Tree for them to make an unofficial clone. When you look at the cart for Super Noah’s Ark 3D it looks like a Game Shark, this is because the SNES has a lock out chip that will not allow any unlicensed game play. When you insert a licensed Nintendo game in the top of the Ark cart your SNES will allow the game to be played.Read full review
I've never played the game myself, only seen video of gameplay. It's as bad as I could have dreamed.

True to the original scripture the finest in Arc based combat the snes has to offer. If you only have one game in your snes library it should be the lesser Piko interactive reprint version. If you have two games, you need to own the original Wisdon Tree printing, with a second game to bypass the lock out. The second game doesn't matter, grab Hagane, Chrono Trigger or what ever, any licensed game will let you play the wisdom tree original print in its full glory.
