Guess who you are in this one? Exactly, Batman, and you have to collect food and all kind of animals, and bring'em to the ark before the universal flood, occurring in three days. Graphics are quite poor, aside maybe the animals, you can see the map of the area anytime you want [many flip screens], you must avoid the pool of waters, because you suffer a violent form of hydrophobia, and try to push the animals towards the ark - which is a hard, terrible task - they follow you for some steps, then you must convince'em again to follow you again, and you're blocked by the obstacles, the passage is too narrow, so you must find another way, and for Christ's sake, I've had enough of this game. As time passes drops of rain start to fall. They never hit me, so I don't know if they're lethal, although they should given Batman's reaction to the pools. Of course it's a bad game [3.62 on WoS from 8 votes]. I'll give it one more point for the original idea. Although it was stolen from the bible.
Edit: there's a Noah adventure game from the same year! Fantastic. I must try it.

The game starts of nicely, showing big and well crafted graphics and looks promising right from the beginning. But once you start playing and noticing the huge task of guiding every animal to the ark, the initial pep begins to quickly run off. It's not only because of the 256 screens ahead, but more because of the random erratic away animals follow you.
If you place the tip of your cane 1 character down an animal you can guide him in front of you. But that isn't always possible due to the obstacles surrounding. Also, why do you need to always eat food every time you get to a screen in order to move unto the next one, even if you've just done that seconds ago? There are a few great ideas here, but obviously not well implemented, which is actually a shame and a waste of good sprites.

You'd be afraid to criticise such a game like this as you'd most likely be seen as an "antichrist" for doing so, and truth be told I'm atheist so that's the end of my discussion when it comes to religious beliefs. But let's not criticise a game for its concept, let's critique it for its gameplay, which is shit. Some of the food is pretty much impossible to get as it's directly next to a hazard that causes an apocalypse to happen. Guiding the animals to the ark is said to be a massive chore but I gave up on this game before I got to that part. If you're going to make a game based on something biblical at least make it playable unlike this.
