Ninja Gaiden for the arcade

[Shinobi128]

I really really dislike these guys.

I'll send a cookie to the person that beats the game with one credit.

[raystorm]

eh.. I think the game is a pain. Maybe I'll play again through MAME or something. I'm happy the NES Ninja Gaiden was never like this. Maybe I have forgotten, but did the arcade game have forced scrolling?

It does have forced scrolling. The last time I played this was many moons ago when I was a kid, so I thought I would revisit the game through mame.

It is fun up until the final stage, where it just gets annoying, specifically these two bosses. What is even more annoying was the checkpoint system they used, where as if you'd die at the final boss, you'd have to go through a bunch of enemies and the next to last boss before you got the chance to fight him again. There is also the single hit deaths.

Been there and done it. Ugh.

save states?

I always enjoyed it for what it was: a solid, violent beatemup. I especially had fun tossing those hockey masked goons off of cliffs.

And the continue screen is pure gold.

I'm with sleeve. This game is a classic, and I would have rather had this on the Xbox version than the three NES games. I played the hell out of the Lynx port even.

[Kidnemo]

I'll side with sleeve n' yoshi on this one too.

The flip over their heads and toss them move was amazing to my eyes when I was but a lad.

[Shinobi128]

I'm not completely bashing the game, it's a fun game up until the final stage.

I though running up the wall and flipping backwards was the coolest thing ever when I was a kid, and it still is.

[Kidnemo]

Could you fun up the walls, flip off them, then grab the guys heads and throw them?

It's been a while...

err...run up the walls.
