Name that game... (easy)

[rcub3]

Sorry for yet another Name that game post, but I've been trying to find the name of this game for a long time.  I think it is very simple to figure out though because it is very unique. 

In this game you are Noah. You move down from your ark on this field trying to find pairs of animals and bring them back up to the ark before the flood reaches it.  The flood moves up constantly towards the ark until it finally reaches it.  I don't even remember how scoring worked (per pair of animal saved?), or how you lost the game.   

I remember just loving this very simply game.  Played it a few times at Chuck E Cheese a LOOOOOOOONG time ago, but have never been able to figure out the name...

D'oh... I knew it was easy...     Next time I think I'll ask about a man that pacs, which should be a lot more challenging to find.

Now I'm trying to figure out why I could never find it (hadn't tried in recent years).  Thanks.

BEcause it's a horrible horrible game.  At least...that's how I remember it.

I love the horrible marquee art on this. If any arcade game art screams "not worth $0.25", this would be up there on the list.



Why does that child look like he is choking on a hunk of garlic bread? Or maybe thats his expression after dunking his allowance into playing Noah's Ark.

You won't have that printed and put in your cab. Chicken.

"Come bust a move where the games are played, it's chill, it's fresh, it's Noah's Arcade."

Well 1984... Any arcade game is awesome when you are 7 yrs old.

Especially those ones. Moppet video games were made for kids, both in terms of simple gameplay and mini sized cabinets:

I played a couple minutes of Noah's Ark Just now....yeah, not a good game, but I can see how it would appeal to a 7 year old kid.

I also love that there is a the hard to get unicorn in the game, implying that Noah probably screwed up, resulting in the extinction of the unicorn.
