Personal review

A graphical and musical masterpiece, which showed how much potential the "new" 16-bit console MegaDrive/Genesis had in comparison to old 8-bit consoles. Gameplay is interesting as well, but there are some flaws regarding unfair situations, jumps and a nasty difficulty level per se.

You'll stalk the Neo Zeed through 24 treacherous scenes, while they stalk you! Battle ninja, musclemen, deadly lasers, and the diabolical Boss! Outfight Kung Fu gangs and armies of machine gunners. The Neo Zeed is almost unstoppable, but you have a secret weapon - ninja magic!
