Noah's Ark (NES)

Noah's Ark
Developer: Source Publisher: Konami Platform: NES Released in EU: 1992 This game has hidden developer credits. This game has hidden development-related text. This game has a hidden level select.

A surprisingly decent Biblical-themed game. Despite the cutesy anime-ish graphics, and Konami being the publisher, the game was developed in England. The game was actually licensed by Nintendo, but only released in Europe as a result of Nintendo of America's ban on religious references in their games.
