This new series, and yes another new series, I will be giving out free gaming history lessons since I have a passion of the history.
Id Software is a game developing company founded in 1991 by the famous John Carmack and John Romero. They revolutionized the first person shooter genre with the classics like Wolfenstien 3D, Doom, and Quake. Now Wolfenstein 3D was originally on PC and was ported to home consoles like the Atari Jaguar, Panasonic 3DO, and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. With the SNES port, Nintendo butchered the game by making it less violent than Id's original work. Id was not happy about this, and they even wanted revenge. So Id gives the codes of Wolfenstein 3D to a biblical and religious video game developer Wisdom Tree to produce their own game. I use the term "produce their own game" loosely since it played pretty much exactly like Wolfenstein 3D. The result is Super Noah's Ark 3D by Wisdom Tree. This game was a joke, literally. Super Noah's Ark 3D was just made as a joke to Nintendo to say "in your face". Why would this bother Nintendo? Well Super Noah's Ark 3D is the only unlicensed (not approved by Nintendo) SNES game. By attaching the cartridge to a licensed SNES game, the game play on the console. Hacking at its finest!
I hate to disappoint you, but this story is all a joke too! This myth is only a legend created by gamers alike and not true. But I still get a kick out of it.
