Played through Ninja Spirit today

[gameofyou]

I think this is my favorite game so far that I've played on PC-Engine.  Those last couple levels were pretty darn difficult, though.

Congrats!  It's one of my favorites for the system.  Those last 2 levels can be pretty tricky.  I really wish there was a sequel.

There kind of was.  Kengo was arcade only, and plays totally differently, but you can tell Irem was trying to make a new game with the same feel.

Yeah Ninja Spirit was the first game that really drew me into the TG16.

Definitely one of my favorites on the system and it's a fun little romp I play through a couple times a year.

I still haven't cleared Arcade mode, though.

I looked up Kengo on YT and while it certainly looks like an Irem game, it doesn't seem to have much in common with Ninja Spirit.  Either way, I may have to find the rom online and play it some.   I'd never heard of it before!

NICE!

I remember being a kid and seeing THIS in a mag



I was f*cking sold!

Congrats!

great arcade conversion for its time. blasted away a lot of other games! IREM @ ITS BEST!!

A timeless classic and a great conversion. 

Certainly one of my favs for the TG/PCE.

It took me a while to get the patterns down, espcially the ninja pit before the last boss. What I love about it and other Irem games is learning the weapons and how to use them and finding the exact way to play each level and fight every enemy. I think it plays a lot like Metal Storm even though they are very different games.

As a kid I could not get past the ninja pit. I tried and tried and tried for days. I finally was allowed to call the Turbo tip hotline and the operator just told me I had to get to the bottom without getting hit by a ninja. Thanks

I once called the Turbo Tip Hotline bitd (I don't remember why) and when my parents got the phone bill they asked me about the 900 number.  They thought I might have been calling an adult chat line and when I told them it was video game related, I could see the relief in their faces.

One of my first TG titles.  Great game.

haha... I remember calling the Turbo Tip hotline... they gave me some cheat codes on Keith Courage and Blazing Lazers. Had to ask my parents before I called though, so they knew what the 900 number charges were when they came
