About
Shinobi (忍) is a side-scrolling action game produced by Sega originally released for the arcades in 1987. In Shinobi, the player controls a modern-day ninja named Joe Musashi who has to stop a terrorist organization named "Zeed" who are kidnapping his students of his clan. Shinobi was later adapted by Sega to their Master System game console, followed by licensed conversions for other platforms such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, PC Engine, and various home computers, as well as downloadable emulated versions of the original arcade game for the Wii and Xbox 360. The success of Shinobi inspired the development of various sequels and spin-offs (see the Shinobi series).

Shinobi (1988) reviews and comments
Quite a feat to be achieved in 1987. Multiple enemies, floor swap, surprises, strategies, upgrades, bonus stages and bosses' weaknesses.
Downside is to never let you chose the weapon, it supposes grenades will perform better than shuriken and you have to cope with that. The third boss is broken, you can't beat the statues in its first phase. Had to cheat to bypass it.
