Super Noah's Ark 3D

Platform: DOS Year: 1996 Developer: Wisdom Tree, Inc.

Super Noah's Ark 3D, also called Super 3-D Noah's Ark, is a first-person shooter that utilizes the Wolfenstein 3D (DOS) engine. However, instead of saving the world from Nazis in an underground bunker, you're trying to feed a bunch angry animals on the ark.

Various feeding tools are collected through the game, and grain is fired at them. If they eat enough grain they will fall asleep. There is a big boss animal at the end of each episode. To claim that the game is educational, you will occasionally encounter trivia questions about the biblical story.

Overall, the game is pretty abysmal. Every level uses brown wood paneling making the game visually dull, the levels often feature tedious poorly constructed mazes, and by the time it hit shelves, other people were playing Quake. There is one feature that is very useful, which many Wolfenstein fans would have loved to have had, and that's the overview map.

While there is speculation that the Wolfenstein 3D engine was given to Wisdom Tree by id Software as revenge for what the Nintendo censors did to Wolfenstein 3D (SNES), Wisdom Tree was actually a properly licensed buyer of id's technology.

Game Rip

The type-0 MIDI files were ripped from the AudioHed.N3D and AudioT.N3D files using Adam Biser's Wolf Data Compiler. They were recorded using Winamp's MIDI plugin v3.17. Unlike all other games that use the Wolfenstein engine, Super Noah's Ark 3D does not use IMF music. Instead, the developers added their own code to play general MIDI through AdLib. Because of this, the sound of the recording isn't 100% accurate, and should be updated when a suitable AdLib MIDI rendering is made.

The titles of the music is based on when you hear them in the game, and the track order is based on the order you'll hear the background music.
