Game Summary

You play a ninja on a one man mission out to destroy a evil force and save kidnapped hostages.

Hardware Platform: Sega System 1B

Game Details

Sega's Shinobi is a side scrolling action game where you throw ninja stars to kill numerous enemies or when the action gets rough, call on some ninja magic to kill everyone on the screen. Stages usually have 2 stories to hop up and down on by a super jump which helps in sneaking up on the enemy. Offers a good challenge, 1 hit and you're dead.

Runs on Sega's System 16 hardware. The board is natively non-Jamma so you will need a adapter to wire it up for a conversion.

I could never beat the end... those bastards on the Stilt level, blue and green ninjas coming up from below... such an amazing game... such satisfaction casting those spells and having every guy on the screen die... someone should port this to an Xbox 360 or PS3."
