I was talking to a friend of mine about the videogames we used to play in the arcades back in the days of primary, and he remembered one game when you played as a ninja of sorts, the nifty thing about this game was that you started in a forest and could climb way up in the trees and actually you could jump from branch to branch. You fought ninjas, a sort of boss at the end of the stage, and there was another stage where you had to climb a pagoda of sorts, and you could climb up a LOT but also were able to fell down unhurt (but you would have to climb aaaaall your way back). I think that the game started when a woman was kidnapped but I'm not too sure. Anyway, I would appreciate if you could tell me the name of this game, as well as any information you may have about it. Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure that this is the game you're referring to, but much of what you said could be attributed to The Legend of Kage.

Did this game have a stage where ninja's popped out of the water and you had to kill a certain number to move ahead? How about a stage where you fought what appeared to be firebreathing monks? If so, then you're probably thinking of Kage.

Well, not an arcade, but you've described perfectly the forest stage from GG Shinobi, although there's not a boss after the forest substage but after the pagoda and it's a giant mask. BTW, in the pagoda substage's inner parts there were some big statues which throw some rays or lances or whatever it was (long white lines) to you.

Since we're talking about ninja games... anybody a fan of Ninja Spirit?

Another NES classic similiar to Legend of Kage is Demon Sword, it plays alot like it, you can jump really high and scale trees while enemies keep coming at you, you can throw shurikens. But the real gimmick of the game is you have a sword, you get a new piece after each level and it grows longer and longer, starting off as a stubby knife size ^_^

heh...you know I was thinking of it throughout this discussion. Also: hell yes.

Great game...though that 'falling down the pit' portion of the last level is damned tough.

Not only know the title, have it right now. The Speed Rumbler. One of Capcom's lesser known early titles.

Man, is that thing hard. There's like a thousand and one ways to die, and good luck getting any control of the car. I don't remember anyone getting past the first level. That hard.

It isn't the game you mention Sensenic, but thanks anyway! BTW, this Shinobi game you talk about when was released?
