Noah's Ark (lost JP adventure game for Mac and Windows)

Thank you!! The copy I ordered is basically near mint, so I'll archive everything I can as soon as it arrives. I'm pretty sure it comes with the manual. For anyone curious, the game I bought was レッスルライフ (Wrestle Life), and I was quite shocked to find out that it was a card game!! From what I can gather, it uses graphics from 人生プロレス～プロレス者達の挽歌～. Very strange.

Hi guys. I just made an account to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone else has come across the demo files for Noah's Ark on ScummVM: www.scummvm.org/demos/director

I did try downloading both the Mac and Windows files, but I couldn't get them to run on any emulators. If there is a way to run it, I'm also wondering if it's just the same video that was found on the Digital Boy disc.

Might not be anything, but I thought I should at least bring it up. Thanks!

Okay, that's 8 potential new leads. Awesome news. Thank you. 

Awesome, getting credits was in my opinion clearly the best scenario to move up to proforce! Hoping to find some information from these names

I did some research on the names, both in English and Japanese and sometimes including the role, at first without any result on my side. Some of the names seem to be very common and others have not yielded any results. I'll try to refocus my research to the field of video games to cross-reference the names of producers etc.

Hey everyone, something that's intrigued me is the English language release of this game. This is an avenue that hasn't been discussed much so I decided to do some digging to see what I could find.

Looking through archives of NEC Interchannel's site I was able to come across this: web.archive.org/web/20001003090913if_/http://www.neic.co.jp/pc/x01english/L02_TITLE/table_IE.html

This seems to be a list of all the English language pages they put up for various software, all of which are stated to have a "Worldwide" release. We can assume this confirms that the English language version of Noah's ark did release overseas and wasn't just an English version for the Japanese market. What's most interesting to me is the other two games listed that being "Dark Fiber" and "Silicon Scream". The former is speculated to be a Japanese localization of a Western game (not sure how true this is, trying to figure that out right now), while the latter is a Western developed game by the studio Off World Communication, seemingly published by NEC.

Both of these titles are on the internet archive:

archive.org/details/SiliconScreamWindowsMacintosh

There is also gameplay on YouTube if you're interested. 

Moving on, I was also able to find this outline of the company structure: web.archive.org/web/20000301040610if_/http://www.neic.co.jp/pc/x01english/L01_COMP/index_IE.html

This outline mentions an "NEC Interchannel U.S.A. Office" with "NEC Systems Laboratory, Inc." and "Multimedia Software Group" under it, 100% confirming that a US based branch of NEC Interchannel existed at one point, which I can only assume was most likely involved with any English language software and "worldwide" releases. Though as you can guess, there's next to nothing I could find about it online.

I was able to find that NEC Interchannel USA is credited with publishing these two games: 
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culdcept_Second
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_Slider

But other than that, no info about it.

Anyways, I'm thinking it's possible that if we could somehow find out more about this US branch or get into contact with anyone who worked there/with them that could be a path forward.
