Super 3-D Noah's Ark

Surprisingly good

Despite the infamy the game acquired throught the years (mostly because of reviews mocking the biblical settings this game takes place, which is in fact a lame excuse just to create a family friend game), Super 3-D Noah's Ark is unexpectedly well designed. Although using pretty much the vanilla Wolf3d engine without much deviation, Wisdom Tree made sure to use the engine to its full extent, adding not only textured floors and ceilings, but also an automap, entirely new levels and a complete graphics revamp, making it one of the most complete TC mods ever made for Wolfenstein 3D. Given the fact the original developers were actually intending to make a Hellraiser game, one might wonder that whatever good ideas were planned for it just ended up adapted to Noah's Ark, which is probably why you can see traces of very good level design scattered over the levels, despite being sadly diminished by the ridiculous story setting the tone for the game. It must have been as disappointing for them to repurpose their efforts to a family friend game as it was for us not getting Hellraiser or another bloody demon slashing FPS. Nevertheless, for what it is, Noah's Ark does a great job at killing time, and if you do keep in mind that the christian bullshit is there just for the sake of appealing to christian bookstores (the only stores that accepted Wisdom Tree games, and therefore, their source of incoming), even the quiz might be entertaining to play. In the end, it's a matter of faith seeing through the obvious deception and appreciating the core design Super 3-D Noah's Ark offers.
