The Video Game & Emulation Emporium (Arcade / Emulation) Shinobi Z's project originally started off in 1996 as The Shinobi Arcade Emulator, which only emulated Sega's infamous 1987 side-scrolling arcade game of the same name. The emphasis of the emulator is not game play or performance, but to be a virtual museum/educational archive of arcade hardware. Most of these game types are represented here, from flying shooters, to four-player beat 'em ups, and of course, the quintessential one-on-one fighting game... www.emucamp.com /vgee/arcade/emulation.htm   (2450 words)

Game Pilgrimage Strider, the first 8-Megabit cartridge ever, managed to very nearly carry a photo perfect replication of the arcade game, and only slipped slightly in the sound department due to the lack of voices in the cutscenes. Strider for the Sega Genesis is better than the already great conversion of Ghouls N Ghosts on Genesis, and certainly better than Altered Beast or Golden Axe on Genesis, or the much later Street Fighter games on either 16-bit platform, in terms of being exactly like the arcade version. When you compare Strider to the other action platformer carts of its day, in 1990, it's still the cream of the crop, the best there is. Only Shinobi 3 from three years later can compete with Strider in terms of gameplay and level design. users4.ev1.net /~sheath/Strider.htm   (328 words)

Olle Jonsson’s Morningstar » What is an Arcade game? I remember the summers at the amusement park where we played great games like Gauntlet (THE arcade game, with 4-player action!), Pole Position and Shinobi. Someone asked me today what an arcade game was. I launched into a historical diachronical account of how the arcade came into being, what its social implications were, how the flaneur was created by this architectural/business phenomenon. olle.ter.dk /blog?p=147   (602 words)

Arcade games One feature of the game was the ability for players to record their initials with their high scores, an innovation which is standard in arcade games to this day. Asteroids was the first of several games to use Ataris Quadra-Scan vector-refresh system (although a raster-based full-color version was developed for the Atari 2600 home video game system).

Shinobi for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Shinobi Review Other than the fact that its main character is a ninja, Shinobi actually has very little in common with other games in the series, such as the original arcade game and the Sega Genesis classic, Revenge of Shinobi. However, this Shinobi does have a thematic similarity to its predecessors, insofar as this is not a game involving stealth--you won't be spending any time sneaking in shadows here, but instead you'll be busy chopping up and chopping down droves of otherworldly foes. And in the case of Shinobi, Sega's latest 3D action game, the main character, Hotsuma, has it even tougher than usual--he'll be constantly fighting off the demonic remains of his former clansmen. www.gamespot.com /ps2/action/shinobi/review.html   (885 words)

The MagicBox Forums - My personal ratings Revenge of Shinobi was never an arcade game. Even Shadow Dancer, another Shinobi title, is more sensitive to the gamer by naturally and progressively developing skill through repeated gameplay rather than losing just because you haven't memorized every enemy in every given location. You've only got 3 continues to work your way through the eight stages with and this game is tough so be forewarned -- you'll probably return to the title screen more than a few times, especially on any difficulty setting aside from easy. www.the-magicbox.com /forums/showthread.php?p=80249   (3371 words)

TNL Forum - Shinobi who's getting it? Shinobi what a great series, I still have memories of playing it in the Arcade ages ago. I doubt any ninja game will ever top Shinobi 3 but as long as the new one is a good game, I'll be happy. If I'm not mistaken the game has been granted the M-rating which means it could be a darker than usual Shinobi. www.the-nextlevel.com /board/printthread.php?t=9949   (709 words)

Arcade History Database© Alex Kidd's last game was titled "Alex Kidd in Shinobi World" which was somewhat of a crossover between the Alex Kidd series and Shinobi. Alex's only game that was made for the Sega Mega Drive was "Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle" in 1989. Opa-Opa, the main character from "Fantasy Zone", appears as the container for the 'Miracle Ball' in round 2 of this game. www.arcade-history.com /history_database.php?page=detail&id=56   (263 words)

Kid Fenris: Missing Mascots: Alex Kidd Miracle World was followed by the unorthodox adventure High-Tech World (really an altered version of the anime-based game Anmitsu Hime), a port of the earlier arcade game The Lost Stars, and a BMX title that, strangely enough, wasn’t released in America, even though it would have been some competition for Nintendo’s Excitebike. Alex’s didn’t get a chance as a true mascot until 1990, when the Sega Master System II, a smaller and simpler revision of the original, was released with Miracle World as its built-in game. It was a fun game, but it didn’t quite stick in one’s psyche. www.kidfenris.com /alexkidd.html   (975 words)

revshin.rev REVENGE OF SHINOBI is more of an action-arcade than adventure game, but there are some secrets for you to discover. REVENGE OF SHINOBI The first thing you should know about the REVENGE OF SHINOBI cartridge game available for the Sega Genesis system is that it has very little to do with SHINOBI (its predecessor). When you consider the level of detail in REVENGE OF SHINOBI, you must also remember that the graphics _do not_ slow down when several things occur simultaneously on the screen, as is the case in RAMBO III. www.textfiles.com /games/REVIEWS/revshin.rev   (1135 words)

Viewing Review @ Video Game City The game feels very much like the original installments and it has a familiar arcade feel to it that adds to the atmosphere of the game. Shinobi is a game built on the principles of a classic action game. The story isn’t as deep as some of the newer games seen lately but it is definitely a step up from where the series stood in that area before. www.vgcity.com /reviews/86.html   (1183 words)
