A good scrolly beat-'em-up with arcade adventure overtones. Read Review
Able-bodied antics from the ninja veteran. Even with a canine sidekick, the going isn't too easy and although not completely original, Shadow Dancer is still a fun fight. Read Review
Strong beat/shoot-'em-up conversion with a good gimmick (a fighting dog). It works. Read Review
Fight your way to victory with Sega's ambitious martial arts game.
Battle against merciless street fighters as you seek revenge for the killing of your loyal student Kato, whilst trying to foil the evil Sauros.
Those of you who have mastered the martial art of the 'Ninja', jump and fight your way to victory!
Joe Mushashi is a Master Ninja whose hands and feet are lethal weapons. In the city centre a group of terrorists are committing every imaginable atrocity known to man, including the planting of time bombs throughout the metropolis. With his Shurikens (Ninja Stars), Shinobi Sabre and canine companion he will be virtually unstoppable.
He courageously sets out to gether up all the explosives placed by the evil gang and annihilate the syndicate that manipulates them.
Each of the sub-levels in the game has had several explosive devices planted by the terrorists, and your task is to defuse and remove all of them in each area before moving on to the next. This task is made more difficult as each bomb has a timer attached, thus creating a time limit for the completion of each level.
Send your faithful Ninja dog to attack the enemy and then, whilst they are distracted, you can move in for the kill. Use Ninja Magic to eliminate all enemies in sight but use sparingly, as even a skilled Ninja such as yourself has limited powers.
The controls are as follows:
Either joystick or keyboard (keyboard redefinable). Joystick left or right, to walk. Combine with Up to jump left, up or right. Pull down to jump. Pull down and left/right to crouch and walk left/right.
Fire & Up - Super-jump up, Fire & Down - Super-jump down
Keypress (in joystick mode)
Space - Send dog to attack enemy, ENTER - Activate Ninja Magic
P - Pause
LOAD"" (ENTER)
