This classical ninja-action game number one appeared in arcades during 1985 and immediately became popular. As the Iga ninja called "Kage," participants ship on an action-packed pursuit as they move toward a supernatural palace where the Princess "Kiri" is held prisoner by "Yohshirou Yukikusa." To stay alive, participants move vertically and horizontally through and through wood and palace environments and execute big jumps, all the while using throwing-star knives and a blade to take down hosts of enemy fighters.
