Planet Bob - Playing Ninja (C64)

[RSS Bot]

Hi there!

 

Wow, that was a short one!!

 

 

I assume that writing this entry will take longer than it took beating this game, hehe

 

Ninja is basically a low budget version of Fist II. Funny enough that it was released the same month. Still, it did pretty good actually. It has less screens than the original, but that also meant a lot less wandering through empty screens.

 

The mission is simpler, you just have to collect 7 "idols". The battles are also easier, so I managed to beat it in ~30 minutes.

 

It actually is an A8 original I think, that was just ported to the C64. I considered playing the A8 version, but for one didn't the colors look good in the screenshots I saw and then didn't I get it to run within the 5 minutes I tried, so I didn't bother. The C64 version has music from Rob Hubbard, which was another plus.

 

Some future day the "Playing..." series may see another brawler in the form of "Renegade", but first it will continue with a top-down racing game.

 

Greetings,

Manuel
