A classic, but not really spectacular game.
It's safe to say that anyone who had a Mega Drive back in the day had Revenge of Shinobi. The game was very popular indeed, but I wonder just how many people actually managed to finish it. The difficulty level is extreme... Read Full Review

The Revenge of Shinobi puts lots of emphasis on being awesome, but not quite enough emphasis on being fun.
In many ways, In The Revenge of Shinobi was ahead of its time for 1988. Today, all games work hard to try and make each character and move in the game seem stylish and cool and to really make the player feel that they ar... Read Full Review

16-Bit Masterpiece
