Kick ass classic Ninja action.

Graphics 8/10
 Pretty good.  The sprites all look like what they are supposed to look like, though the
 enemies are sometimes kind of wierd, the cut scenes are pretty cool and often action
 packed.  The graphics are good for NES level.  The openeing sequence rocks.

Music and Sound 9/10
 This game has great music too.  Fast pased music that fits the levels well, slower and
 creepy music when appropriate during the cut scenes.  As for sound effects, thye are
 pretty sharp and quick, which fits the Ninja motif.  Basically they are beleivable in the
 game setting.

Gameplay 8/10
 Though it's somewhat repeditive, the levels change enough that it doesn't get old.  Plus
 each level usually has several areas.  The buttons are plenty, one to jump, one to sword
 swipe and a combination attack for special weapons.

Overall 8.4/10
 An old classic that should be in your NES collection if possible.  I suppose you could
 settle for one of the sequals or the Ninja Gaidan Trilogy for SNES, but the sequals are
 harder (I don't like them as much).  A great game though overall.

Tip: Uh, I got nothing, sorry.
