But Doom Marine, that reads "The Bibble"...
Storytime with PGE.
Color Dreams obtained the Hellraiser franchise license for use in an NES game, but it was canceled due to hardware limitations.
Sometime in 1993 (long after NES Hellraiser was dead), Color Dreams licensed the Wolfenstein 3D engine from id Software at a cut-rate price (John Carmack saw it as having outlived its purpose because he's John Carmack) for use in a different Hellraiser game.
At this point, most of Color Dreams' product development had moved Wisdom Tree to make bible-themed games for sale in Christian bookstores (since Nintendo couldn't threaten to block sales), so the Hellraiser IP was dropped in favor of Noah's Ark.
In other words:
* Hellraiser on NES was a different project
* Hellraiser on NES never used the Wolf3D engine
* id Software never gave WT the Wolf3D engine in response to Nintendo's censorship
Also this is a better set of levels than the original SNES Wolf3D IMO (not the original PC Wolf3D levels)

wolfenstein 3d but for christians
It's not common for me to see SNES bootlegs. NES bootlegs on other hand are everywhere!
Good lord.... why
This game is unlicensed but not bootleg, since Nintendo's "licenses" don't actually have any legal weight. The super nes version was sold legally, Nintendo just resented that it was, and probably in particular that it would actually run on the system, however awkward the required setup was. Wisdom Tree legitimately licensed the Wolfenstein 3d engine from id Software and owns the in-game content. I would distinguish that from the likes of "Kart Fighter" which uses intellectual properties the developer has no rights to and numerous multi-cartridge and arcade bootlegs that are simply hacked and altered versions of existing games.
DOOM?!?
