Personal review

In Shinobi, you control Joe Musashi, also known as 'Shinobi', who fights against all crimes and defeats all kinds of evil organizations like the Yakuza. In each stage you have to rescue some hostages, who will give you power-ups when you free them. After the completion of 2-3 stages you have to defeat a boss, where you can either use your martial arts techniques or throw shuriken with deadly precision.

Shinobi is another cool arcade classic ported by SEGA. And it's an absolute Must-Have for the Master System. 'nuff said!
