Noah's Ark playthrough FAILURE
2This was part 1 of 3 for the day.
Back to NES on Steam, and I'm here to pick up a few titles that I'd missed in previous years. The first being this, Noah's Ark. Technically it was released back when the system was active, but it was on an unlicensed, black cartridge. And, IIRC, only really in Europe. It's also, uniquely, about the only game to use the NES's function to greyscale the screen, or in this case, part of the screen, for the water effect. Fancy that.
However, I was not expecting this game to be as challenging as it was. Of all games, I thought the Bible-based game for kids would provide less of a challenge, but whew. It's pretty much all about getting the power ups and running while you have them. The big problem comes in the bosses that require you to fly, by repeatedly tapping the jump button. Due to problems in my arm, this was causing me rather severe pain. I completed the first one after many attempted, but when the second one showed up I had to call it quits. I hate to leave a game unfinished like that, but I'm just physically not able to do the required button mashing for that. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/the_nametag
