Shinobi: is a side scrolling action game produced by Sega originally released
for the arcades in 1987. In Shinobi, the player controls a modern day ninja
named Joe Musashi who goes on a mission to rescue his kidnapped students from a
group of terrorists. Shinobi was later adapted by Sega to their Master System
game console, followed by conversions to other platforms such as the Nintendo
Entertainment System, PC Engine, and various home computers, as well as
downloadable emulated versions of the original arcade game for the Wii and Xbox
360. The success of Shinobi inspired the development of various sequels and spin
offs see the Shinobi series.
Shinobi
1987 Sega A scrolling platform beat em up in which the player takes on the role
of Joe Musashi, a Shinobi Ninja, who must fight his way through five tough
missions each made up of between three to five stages - in his quest to rescue
the kidnapped Ninja children of the Iga clan now hostages of an evil Ninja
syndicate called Zeed. To complete a
mission the player must rescue all of the kidnapped children on each level,
with the number of hostages remaining displayed on a meter in the bottom left
corner of the screen.
The
Shinobi Ninja begins each level armed with either shuriken throwing stars or a
gun for long range attacks and a Samurai sword for close range combat. In
addition, the Ninja also has one 'Magic Attack' per level a smart bomb which
kills or damages all on screen enemies. A points bonus is awarded whenever a
level is completed without the Magic Attack being used. An end of level
guardian awaits the player at the end of each mission, and each takes several
hits before it is killed. Once a boss is defeated, the player is taken to a
bonus stage in which a large number of Ninjas will try to 'jump' from the back
of the screen to the front to attack the player. A bonus life is awarded if the
player manages to kill all of the Ninjas without being attacked.
Shinobi
was a huge success for Sega, and deservedly so. Its perfectly realised blend of
platform and fighting action and is as fine an exponant of the 'easy to get
into, difficult to master' gameplay ethic as video games have seen.
Shinobi
was one of the many names given to the ninja in feudal Japan. Its literal
translation is 'stealer-in'; a reference to what Ninjas specialised in above
all else. By employing any number of tricks such as stealth walking and staying
upwind of any guard animals, the Shinobi went undetected about his mission. On
a more devious level, the Shinobi was also a master of disguise, and would
often 'steal in' to village communities disguised as a local, or into enemy
palaces disguised as a wandering priest.
