Super
Shinobi was called Revenge of Shinobi here in Europe. Unlike it processor, it was the first game that
was only released on a console; I could be wrong. Anyway; you took the roll of a ninja and
because I had the Japanese version of the game, I couldn’t actually read the
Japanese writing. I never found out
what I was supposed to be doing. I
know that you have to save a girl at the end but her significance will always
be a mystery to me.
You
took part in a simple platform game; you had the usual left to right action
that usually had a boss at the end of the main level. There is a level where you take on a
helicopter and let’s face it; no matter how bad you think to are, you’re not
going to beat a helicopter in real life but this isn’t real life.
You
had you standard attack and an attack you could pick up latter that did twice
the damage. You had some weird ninja
magic that produced dozens of yourself that attacked what ever was on the
screen but you only had a limited supply of these. You had this double jump that you needed to
time to perfection. On one level, I must have died quite a few time because
of this double jump feature.
I
must warn you though; the second from last level had a maze and I never got
through it. I got bored going through
the same doors all the time. Give it a
try if you are obsessed by ninjas. You
just might complete the game where I did not.
