Side-scroller. You play a ninja, with a sai. You travel rightward
|
|
96 |
(you cannot stop.) Hazards include ninjas travelling leftward,
|
|
97 |
rocks on ground, rocks falling from sky(?). You can dispatch all(?)
|
|
98 |
of these hazards with your sai. I cannot remember if you can jump.
|
|
99 |
Istr mountains in the background. Or a sort of temple that you
|
|
100 |
eventually reach? I may be confabulating that.

|
|

which featured a home console (Atari 5200) version of this game... which was
|
|
179 |
never finished, despite the fact that the movie was a commercial success.

Written in BASIC, I believe. And I believe the manual detailed
|
|
332 |
all of the calculations, so you could, if you wanted to, play it
|
|
333 |
with pen and paper. (Not certain about that though.)
