God hates software licensing!

Yes it is true, this is one of the only NES games to ever completely snake around every legal frame work set up for video game licensing. Well I guess God doesn't need permission from Nintendo to get the word out. So Like Jesus and his apostles, this game follows a path of peace and enlightenment that is shunned by the powers of a large (empire) corporation entity.
The game itself is made up of three parts. Noahs Ark is an animal hunt game which puts you in the shoes of Noah as he franicaly attempts to find two of each animal, enough food, all while avoiding tree climbing snakes, acorn dropping birds, and the impending wrath of God. The Noah game is fun for about 10 minutes and then it gets too repetitive. You can have a little fun by collecting bails of hay and chucking them at the helpless animals, or by collecting say a goat, climb to the highest tree top and letting it fly. I guess when you are ten years old that is cool, but I don't think it makes God happy when you do that. Lucky for the gamer, redemption is always nearby in the form of little stone tabs that contain bible verses hidden throughout the levels(as well as the other two games). The second game is Baby Moses. You play as moses's mom an she tries to flee the agents of pharaoh as they attempt to murder the future hand of God. This game plays out much like Yoshi's Island for the SNES. You have to pick up baby M and run across the level with him all the while dodging pikemen, eagles, bow men, and other hell condemned baddies. One hit and baby M gets knocked from your grip and you have to scramble to get him back before its too late. This is probably the most challenging of the three games and it is the most fun too. Remember, God doesn't like it when you chuck baby moses into the water on purpose, he sinks! The third game places you in the sling arm of David as he journeys on his quest against the evil philistine giant Goliath. This is pretty much a strait up side scroller shooter. David armed with a sling and rocks must venture through several levels, fight agents lions and bears and eventually Goliath. This game is OK, but the level design is also the weakest.
Over all, the gameplay, sound, graphics,and controls are pretty weak, but when your mom will only let you play wholesome games as a kid, it makes up for it when you have nothing better to compare it with.
