Sega Ninja

Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEG : Sega Ninja

Sega Ninja (also known as Ninja Princess) is a 1985 arcade game released by Sega. The game features a female ninja who must battle enemy ninjas using throwing knives and throwing stars.

Gameplay

Gameplay is typical of a run and gun game, such as Commando, where the player has to shoot enemies and defeat a boss. Enemies include samurai, enemy ninjas and wolves. The player's normal weapons are an unlimited supply of throwing knives, but power-ups to throwing stars are available. In addition, the player can also turn invisible for a short period of time. While most of the stages are vertically scrolling, a few of the levels add some variety - including a level where the player must scale a wall.

Port
