As Noah, you must gather two of every animal plus food to feed them before the big storm hits. As the mother of Moses you must save your baby before the Pharoah's soldiers can throw him into the river. As David you must prove yourself by protecting your flock of sheep from lions and bears. Finally, you will fight the mighty Goliath himself using only your sling and five stones. CONTROL LEFT & RIGHT ARROWS: Pushing left or right causes the HERO character to move in that direction. UP & DOWN ARROWS: Pushing up or down allows the HERO to move up and down trees and cavern walls. UP ARROW: This allows the hero to enter caverns and doorways. "A" BUTTON: The hero jumps upward. If the "A" Button is pressed while holding the DOWN arrow, the hero will jump downward. "B" BUTTON: This causes the HERO to pick up an object. If the HERO is already carrying an object, the object will be thrown. If the "B" BUTTON is pressed while holding the "UP" arrow, stacked objects will rotate their positions (this only applies when you are carrying more than one object). SELECT BUTTON: When SELECT is pressed, a status screen is displayed. PRECAUTIONS 1) Store at room temperature. Do not subject to environmental extremes. 2) Always ensure that power is off before inserting or removing the cartridge from the Nintendo the Nintendo System. 3) Keep contacts clean (do not touch them and store the cartridge in its box when not in use). 4) Do not try to open or disassemble the cartridge. 5) Do not sit too close to your television. 6) Do not clean the cartridge with chemical agents. *** Nintendo, Nintendo Entertainment System and NES are trademarks of Nintendo of America, Inc.. [Page 2]----------------------------------------------------------- NOAH'S ARK God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt. So God asked Noah to make an ark of cypress wood and bring into the ark two of every living thing of all flesh; they shall be male and female. In each world Noah has to complete a checklist of animals which calls for a pair of every unclean animal, and seven pairs of every clean animal. As these animals come to the ark, Noah will pick them up or lead them into the ark. Unfamiliar with the presence of other animals, many become restless. It may take some of their favorite food to calm them down. See of you can figure out which type of food each animal prefers. You will discover that there are too many of some species of animals for all to go into the ark. Don't expect too much cooperation from them. Especially watch out for the tree snakes and the woodpeckers. Perhaps you will have to find friendlier snakes elsewhere to complete your checklist. Be careful when aggressive birds get too close. Trying to get a couple of spirited monkeys into the ark can be quite a challenge. They have a habit of throwing things around which may create a problem. Perhaps a couple of bananas will convince them otherwise. When Noah is running or jumping, some of the animals will become too heavy to carry. The best way is to push them a little bit at a time or you can try to lure them with food. Remember that bulls and oxen may get anxious and charge you if you approach them from the front. In the second world, Noah will have to gather enough food for the journey. At this point, most of the remaining animals will not be of any value to Noah. Instead they will try to eat the food. At sundown, Noah will have to use light generated by the fireflies. Use the controls to make Noah jump, pick things up, climb trees and scale the insides of caves. If you press SELECT, you can see what Noah has left to gather. Use the UP key to enter caverns and doorways. When you encounter a stone tablet, you can pick it up and read it by pressing the B Button. The tablets contain quotes from the Bible, and they give Noah clues and strength to accomplish his mission. Collect all the tablets and read them carefully. [Page 3]----------------------------------------------------------- SAVE BABY MOSES The Pharoah of Egypt has given orders to his soldiers to cast every male baby born to the Hebrews into the Nile River. A daughter of the house of Levi has given birth to a goodly son. Baby Moses is doomed unless you can help his sister to evade the many dangers and guide her to the river. There she will put Moses into a little ark made of bulrushes and pitch. You'll have to guide Moses' sister through the Egyptian landscape and to the river bank. Guards are everywhere, and they will try to capture her. You can pick up Baby Moses the same way you pick up other objects, but be careful when you carry him. He prefers to be on top of everything else that you carry. Press UP and the B Button to rotate your stack. Other obstacles will get in your way. Watch out for tarantula spiders and naughty kids. Beware of the soaring creatures that may take the mother of Moses away from her destination. You will encounter stone tablets containing Biblical quotes. These provide clues and give you extra health and strength. Gather the tablets and study them carefully. Each level increases in difficulty. [Page 4]----------------------------------------------------------- DAVID AND GOLIATH PART 1. David must prove himself by fighting lions and bears to protect his flock of sheep. Initially, David has to gather his flock of sheep. Some of them have strayed and might be just about anywhere. David will have to find the lost ones and carry them back to the main flock. Lions and bears will try to eat the sheep unless David can find and save them. You'll have to help David climb the sides of hills and trees. Squirrels will toss acorns and try to knock you off the trees. Scorpions will block your path. Mountain goats will try to charge you with their horns. When the entire flock is gathered, you have completed the level. Part 2. David fights Goliath David must fight Goliath and his shield bearer. The shield bearer will protect Goliath until you defeat him. After defeating the shield bearer, you will have to fight Goliath. If you can hit him in just the right spot, you can get him with just one shot.
