Noah's Ark

Step into the role of Noah in this charming 1983 puzzle game from Enter-Tech, Ltd. As rising waters threaten a menagerie of animals, your task is to guide pairs of creatures toward safety within Noah's Ark using an eight-way joystick. The gameplay revolves around strategic maneuvering; successfully matching and directing animal pairs before they are swept away by the encroaching flood represents success. Noah’s Ark showcases improved technical capabilities compared to earlier Enter-Tech titles, utilizing a vibrant palette of 256 colors across a vertical screen resolution of 224 x 240 pixels. The game's design demonstrates a more complex use of hardware resources and is the product of a team including lead programmer Paul Walters and graphics designer Barb Ultis. A single button controls Noah’s movement, demanding precise timing and careful planning to achieve a minimum number of animal rescues with each playthrough.
