Wouldn't Strider be kind of a ninja game? Or am I reaching too far?

Maybe...

If strider is added to the poll, I will change my vote. Brilliant game.

the original strider designed also made a similar arcade ( very obscure) called Osman, very middle eastern based, which is also ninja like

how come ninja warriors again is not featured in this poll

Impossible to say, all completely different, Shadow dancer is the best representation of the original Shinobi arcade as far as game mechanics go and that is my favourite game pretty much ever, Ninja gaiden 2 and 3 are fantastic, uhhhhhhhhhhh Shinobi 3 is amazing as is Ninja spirit  ...........Oh im going with Shadow dancer

Shinobi III all the way for me a runner up would be Kaze Kiri.Nothing against Ninja Spirit,it's still one of my favorite pce games and a really good port but it doesn't have enough variety.

Ninja Gaiden I and II are my two favorite ninja games of all time, hence my screen name. I chose Ninja Gaiden Trilogy though I'd choose the NES originals if it was a choice. They screwed the music and cinemas up on NGT. Didn't care the PCE port much. Strider for the Genesis would be my second choice. I enjoyed the PCE port, especially the redbook tunes, but it just isn't quite as good.

I have too much nostalgia for Revenge. It was a close call between that and Ninja Spirit...I guess I need to return my obey card :(

No! I can't change my vote!

And Genny version for Strider all the way. PCE Strider was a disappointment of $60...

I never knew PCE games could have herby jerky scrolling and the most dullest of colors.

Ninja Spirit only. 

And... if you tip your head sideways, it kind of looks like your poll is flipping you off Fragmire!

I wouldn't myself call Strider a ninja game but if it's in the poll it gets my vote as its one of the greatest games of all time.
