it's kinda shit but my mom likes the noah's ark game so it gets extra points
sucks ass but my sister really liked it (while acknowledging it sucks ass) so I have fond memories of this. I wouldn't say any of the three games in here are good, but the one with Moses is the standout for being the most entertaining. Me and my sister would always see how many animals we could stack on Moses, which does raise questions on exactly how biblically accurate this is. The other games are too jank to really be much fun.
Though conceptually controversial and making for an interesting footnote in the history of the NES, Bible Adventures is a pretty average NES game. Not great but not horrible either, definitely more playable than Sunday Funday/Menace Beach.
Pros: Three games in one, that was kind of a big sell back in the day... I really like collecting the animals in the Noah's Ark game, legit, I enjoy that game, haha!
Cons: Messy design, bad collision, annoying enemies... It's a bible game, not licensed by Nintendo, the Seal of Quality ain't here, folks!
What it means to me: Aaaaand this is why it's on the list of my favorite games. Was raised in a Christian home, so these kinds of games were pushed on our family. Finding fun in Church stuff, was really tough, so getting an NES game of bible stories was a good way to get me on board. And me, someone who loved animals, loved the story of Noah, and always wanted to play out a game where I was Noah and gathered all of the animals for the ark, I got that game here with this! It's even a bit like Super Mario Bros. 2 where you can pick animals up and run around with them. But there's more, there's a stacking element to how many animals you can carry where you have to maintain balance or else they'll fall, there's the element of, well, hunting in a sense, how do you CATCH these animals, sometimes you needed to knock them out by throwing objects, sometimes you needed to trick them, or even use bait. It's kind of cool stuff really. Like really, the Noah's Ark game in this, I kinda dig it! Maybe a precursor to the Pokemon addiction I'd form later in life, gotta catch em all! haha!

Noah's Ark was the only fun "adventure" here, but I really enjoyed it immensely as a child.
This game is my repressed Christian childhood in plastic form.
It's not that bad, really
Worth playing alone for Noah-animal-jugglin' & baby-Moses-throwin' action of Biblical proportions. God what a stupid set of games, we had some fun. Also stands out for its all-black cartridge.
Baby Moses, Baby Moses. Played to see if it really was as odd as the AVGN episode made it look.
It is.
It is.
I remember liking the Noah's Ark game but the rest was trash.
Flanders to God, Flanders to God, get off your cloud and save my Todd!
