It is just unbelievable how short the game is comparing with how it felt when I was a little kid, felt like a whole movie back then. Every sound fx and music bring me right back to the arcade at the mall. The most precious memories of how wonderful and simple life was.

He's going very fast, most people would move through the levels a bit slower. I have seen videos that are considerably longer and it just feels more enjoyable to watch and a bit more epic in scale like you were describing.

lol so many pop culture character references in this game Spiderman, Shredder, and even Marilyn Monroe

wow 1988 in Brooklyn... high school corner store!!! Sega, Capcom and Data east made some if the very best arcade games!!! :)

I am SO THERE with you on EVERYTHING you just said! And all those companies (along with Konami, SNK, and Taito) were the dominant forces in arcade games during the 1987-1994 period.

Indeed, until Namco said fuck it all, and came out with Tekken. 16 bit home game systems couldn't render a completely faithful translation/duplication/interpretation of even 2D arcade games, but once the original Tekken came along in late 1994, necessitating the release of the Playstation system, it brought about the beginning of the end of arcade game culture. Yeah, Capcom kept it alive for the remainder of the 20th century with: Darkstalkers (1994); Street Fighter Alpha Warriors Dreams (1995); X-Men: Children of the Atom (1995); Marvel Super Heroes (1995); X-Men vs. Street Fighter (1996); Street Fighter vs. Marvel Super Heroes (1997), and Marvel vs. Capcom (1998)... but the living room duels and campaigns in Tekken 2, Soul Blade, Resident Evil, Tekken 3, Golden Eye, Metal Gear Solid, Perfect Dark, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 during the same time period on the Playstation, Nintendo 64, and Sega Dreamcast systems were nothing less than paradigm shifting.

Ah man defo one of my all time favourite arcade games from the 80’s.. Some great memories as a kid hanging about in the arcades or skipping school to play this in the local chip shop!! The game blew my little mind and was way before it’s time! 👌🏿

Cuantos recuerdos de la infancia me trae este juego!! Era uno de mis favoritos, junto al "ghost goblins"

This was such a great game when I played it at the arcade when I was a kid and it still holds up really well after all those years! 

I remember playing this at 7 eleven in 1990. Love the cool music. Good times. I miss the days of seeing all the arcade machines at the donut shops, laundromat, liqour stores, etc.

I love the music so much, it's stuck in my head since I played this game for the first time

I thought I was a good player for Shinobi until I saw this longplay. You have also done what very few in the world can say they have done: 1. Beat the game on one life 2. Perfect bonus stages 3. End with a score over 300,000 points You did them all in one shot, using only your very first life. Congratulations, and I take my hat off to you, while bowing down to you and saying "I'm not worthy of such greatness!" Outstanding!!!! :)

Oh man, this brings back some good memories. Don't think I ever made it to the last level, though.

Japanese 2D era was phenomenal so many great timeless classics.

I used to play this is Safeway when I was in jr. high. It was a nice upgrade from Moon Patrol, Time Pilot and Karate Champ.

Shinobi is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and AWESOMELY AMAZING

Yea, when I was about 7 I was able to beat this game on one quarter and without dying. My friend used to bet people at the pizza parlor. Great confidence builder at the time.

1987, the golden age of the arcade started when the graphics of the computers and consoles couldnt compete, Shinobi was among the best hits of its time.

great memories that was the era of really super videos game the kid really enjoy

Great job in getting the perfect in the bonus stage. That last ninja that popped out would have gotten me. :o)

I just noticed something. When Musashi uses ninja magic, he shouts "TERIYAAA!" What's cool about this is that in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic shouts the same thing in that one scene where he takes out the Egg Golem in the Dark side part of the story. Neat, huh?

i spent more quarters on this game than any other arcade game ever. $5 in quarters at a time and only made it to Lobster at the end of stage 4. the soundtrack is so nostalgic.

What i loved about this was the different colours of ninja, they each had different moves - that fired my imagination as a kid... Especially because you only really see the blue ninja in full action in the last few stages.

Totally agree, multi-coloured Ninja's are such a cool concept, it kind of makes it more story/movie like having the distinct enemies and variations to their attacks.

Finished this on 1 quarter 2 lives back in the day. Was able to do almost all levels without using a throwing star. Except bosses tho. Bought this very version for my Sega master system? I think it was called. One before the Genesis. It was OK for a home system back then. A better game for the master system was Kenseiden I think it was called. Japanese samurai game. Loved that game

One of the arcade greats !

Mon dieu que de bons souvenirs avec ce jeu d'arcade. Le nombre d'heures que j'ai passé dessus. Et l'argent dépensé aussi du coup 😅 Je culpabilise pour toutes les pièces que mon père me donnait à l'époque pour ça 😞
