NINJA Mission
=============
by Chris Mountford.
Have you ever had the sudden urge to dress up in your pyjamas and
go and raid an ancient Chinese fortress, single-handedly defeating
guards of incredible self control and martial arts skills, regain your
village's precious jade idols, stolen by an evil tyrant's personal
thieves, and return to your normal life, all in the time it takes to
play one computer game?????
There must be hundreds of you out there, judging by the sales of
the Mastertronic Game "Ninja Mission". For all of you who don't have
the game and if you're the kind of person who is good at these kinds
of karate games, then I suggest you splurge out on this little number.
For $39.95 it is well worth it.
The idea of the game, if you havent quite figured it out yet and
however unoriginal it seems, is to attack scores of guards and evil
henchmen in order to collect seven jade idols which were stolen from
your village. Theses idols are (quite appropriately in my opinion!)
called "Shichi Nin No Kami" and possess mystical powers! Each time
along the way you pick up one of these idols, YOUR STRENGTH IS
MAGICALLY RESTORED! The scenario has an authentic ring about it (not
just a simple shoot-em-up or should I say punch-em-up?) and as
far as I am concerned this feature gives a psychologically induced
subconcious addiction to the game. Or it could just be that music!
[The one that (*quote*) "...you can really rock to"].
Overall I'd say it is well put together, bugless and professional,
although obviously not a million dollar epic. The graphics are good,
not messy or unfinished, unlike some software I could mention, and the
value for money is excellent. Considering the price, I'd give it an
eight out of ten (I gave half a point each to the black crow and the
compact disc box it comes in) and I'd have to say it is the best value
karate style arcade game for any home computer.
