H e's bleached back! And his clothes! his mum's
The black-garbed hero of the
original Sega arcade and console
game returns, larger
than life and wearing white
gear, in an arcade adventurecum-beat
'em up.
The forces of evil are
playing up once more, but instead
of taking hostages as a
means to getting what they
want, they've taken the easy
option of recruiting a considerably
large amount of deadly
onentals to their already bulging
forces in an attempt to
overrun the world with their
own unique brand of malicious
violence.
So. out of retirement
comes the Super Shinobi.
His mission entails the liberation
of the many areas which
have been seized by the
enemy, using an awesome

of each stage) and special
ninja magic.
Each level consists of
three areas, the last one containing
the statutory end of
level guardian. These range
from relatively weedy shogun
warrior found at the end of
level one, to more dangerous
"shadow-ninjas” and dinosaurs!
All require a number of
accurately-placed shots before
they die and allow access
to the next stage.
Although Super Shinobi offers
little in the way of innovation
to the seasoned arcade
addict, the game is an absolute
corker both to look at and
play. Graphically its superb,
much better than the original
(in arcade form!) with a lot of
variety in the brilliantly animated
sprites and moody
backdrops. The fitting sound
effects are on a par with the
graphic quality of the game,
and the music is absolutely
fantastic - easily the best
heard on the Megadrivel
Super Shinobi is a tough
game which is guaranteed to
keep you glued to your seat
for a long, long time.
