Game Introduction

Two players can team up as a red and blue ninja fighting enemies. The game is long and rather hard. You fight through many stages on your way to a castle. Every stage has end boss. Along the way you pick up weapons, such as clubs and axes from fallen enemies. You also pick up ninja scrolls that replenish your health bar or give you special attacks (like a fire-dragon that flies around the screen killing all enemies).

Game Play

This is a side-scrolling chop socky beat-em-up.

Trivia

This was one of the very first Neo Geo cartridges available.

Conversion

This game can be easily converted to any other Neo Geo game.

Miscellaneous

The game is very much like SNK-Alpha Denshi's earlier regular JAMMA release, Gang Wars. A lot of the graphics and sound effects seemed to carry directly over.
