Good Points

What can I say except the arcade of Shinobi was an all time classic but the much overlooked Master System conversion is not only recognizable, it also stands head and shoulders above any other console version...


Bad Points

Not being able to use ninja magic on the bosses and beating the game only to be confronted with GAME OVER instead of perhaps CONGRATULATIONS...


General Comments

Sigh... Shinobi on the Sega Master System... All those wasted hours in the late 80s... All the stages from the arcade version are present and correct including the first person ninja shooting sections and all the bosses are there also... Who could forget the first time you brought Ken-Oh to his knees or exploded the Black Turtle or burst the giant zit on Mandara's forehead, flattened Lobster then kicked the Masked Ninja all over game land? This version was such a quality product I think it made all the other conversions look laughable in comparison, or maybe I'm biased cos I can finish the game with one life...
