Yeah, I love that game! Except the falling bit Psst, just drop down and immediately start going left, and stay one body width from the wall. You'll never be touched. I just beat Ninja Spirit again the other night. In Arcade mode! Still died a lot though haha. The "running with the wolves" ending with the awesome music is totally worth it, though.

I think you might have to kind of "ease off" going left a little bit on your way over towards the wall, so you don't run into enemy ninjas diagonally... but once you're close to the wall, you're home free!
check it out...

My reasoning for its inclusion is there are platforms you've gotta jump across, and if you fall in you take damage - that's pretty platformy I'd say! But I do see where you're coming from, it's more a "run and gun" than a straight platformer. Yea, I can see where you're coming from. For what it's worth, i missed a couple other entries too. I gotta say, I'm also kind of shocked by the number of votes Shinobi got. It's a pretty rushed feeling and incomplete port. It doesn't even have the ninja star throwing bonus stages! That's the best part! I voted for it because it's one of my first games. I really enjoy it, honestly.

I really enjoy it, honestly. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's bad. It's not Golden Axe on the sliding scale of Sega arcade ports on the PCE. But it definitely ain't After Burner II either. I think I was spoiled by playing a LOT of the arcade Shinobi and also Shadow Dancer on Genesis before i ever played the PCE port of Shinobi. Every time I fire it up, I long for the arcade version and just end up playing Shinobi in MAME for a while lol

Not including the close range attacks ruins the game for me,thankfully the upcoming Genesis port includes majority of the arcade gameplay.

That's awesome! See... I wish there were programmers in the PCE scene who were interested in doing projects like this. I'd be all over helping with something like that.
