In Noah's Ark (Europe) for the NES, players control Noah on his quest to gather two of every animal species before the great flood arrives. The gameplay primarily revolves around navigating through various screens, solving simple puzzles, and avoiding obstacles or enemies that represent hindrances. Noah can utilize items to overcome challenges, such as ladders to climb or tools to clear paths. The ultimate goal is to collect the required number of animals and safely lead them onto Noah's Ark, which is progressively built throughout the game. The game features light puzzle elements combined with basic adventure action, requiring players to find the correct path and use items strategically to complete their mission. Each new area introduces different animal types and challenges, from arid deserts to dense jungles. Despite being based on a well-known story, the gameplay of Noah's Ark (Europe) is often described as quite simplistic and repetitive, focusing on collection and navigation.
