OCR00001 - Shinobi "Shin Shuriken Jam"

[BurningMagma]

I was born in 2009, and this song actually slaps. 23 years and going strong. Man, was I born in the wrong generation...

Never gave this one the time of day, for some reason, which is weird in retrospect since I like Alex Kidd AND Shinobi...

that intro is as etched into my mind as the TMNT series intro. seen it so many times at my cousin's house in the early nineties.

quintessential barebone VG exposition. setting up everything in 60 deliberately cliched seconds, and it's just kind of perfect. aged really well if you ask me.

though the music starts to suck after level 2. seems like the guy ran out of ideas....should've gone 100% leitmotif. didn't matter to me back then, as i rarely ever got to level 3.

 

"with your girlfriend as hostage, he plans to seize the ultimate power..."

man, that makes no sense at all! unless he gains power in some way by making alex suffer....

well, i suppose that's pretty deep.
