Personal review

The third game in the Ninja-Kun series from Jaleco. In contrast to the first two games you don't have to kill all enemies in each level to finish it. Here you have just to reach the exit door at the end of the level, which is scrolling from left to right. The game is a standard side-scrolling platform game borrowing many elements like destructible blocks with possible extra items from Super Mario Bros.. The game is not bad, and a slight improvement over the other two Ninja games, but also not particularly groundbreaking or memorable.
