Does anybody have Ninja Gaiden for the PCE?
« on: October 10, 2012, 03:45:04 AM »
I found a ROM package of PCE games and to my surprise, it had Ninja Gaiden.  I never knew they made this for the PCE. It plays exactly like the NES version, but more colorful and in the limited time I had to try it, seemed a bit more polished and not as frustrating. I have looked on eBay a few times and could not find it, just didn't know if anybody here had a copy to show. I assume it goes for high dollar?

meh, it's a cheap common game.  the super choppy scrolling is a bit of a turn off, but it's a fun easy version to mess with.

Nice, so it does exist. I hear ya about the choppiness, but it is fun.
I bet I never see it because I set eBay to "us only"

I have it. I think it usually goes for $30-40 on ebay. I haven't played the NES version in years but the graphics seem way better on the PCE. The most frustrating thing about the game is when you die on the final boss and have to restart at stage 6-1 rather than at the boss.

Which is also true of the NES version, and is the focus of the Angry Video Game Nerd episode on Ninja Gaiden.

There is English built right into the PCE version as well. I think you have to hold down Select or some other button combination at the title screen, but it will put the game with all text in the cutscenes into English. Did this on an emulator once, but I've been too cheap to shell out for the real version (some day though).

Really, English in the PCE Ninja Gaiden?  Well, I've learn something new today.  I'll have to check it out.

I agree, its a pretty good game for the pce, I didn't know about putting in English though. Mark another game that's English friendly!

Right on, I was a bit put off by the graphics. But they are better than the NES version for sure. Will have to put this one on the list as well.

I enjoy this game because it is easier than the cheapo NES version.  Though I prefer the NES graphics.
