Gameplay:

The player progresses through each level and meets verious enemies along the
way. The Ninja in this game has perfected his techniques of the Triple Blow
Combination, The Flying Neck Throw, the Hang Kick, the Phoenix Backflip and
the Tightrope technique.

As he cuts a swathe through each zone, itams appear from within trash cans,
signs and telephone booths. His mission is to fight his way through six of
the assasination squads on his way to the final conflict with the evil Demon.


Hints and Tips:

Try not to let enemies get on both sides of you. If they do then try to
position an object between you. Use objects to 'take a breather' from the
action.
Try jumping over enemies and hitting them from behind.
Do not rush quickly through the levels, stop and wait for enemies to come on
screen individually or in pairs and take them without going on. This way
large gangs of baddies will be avoided.
