Take note of your score before you lose your last life because it doesn't come back after the Game Over screen.

I'm working on getting a decent score. I'm realllllly rusty.

 

Crazy knockback and enemy respawn in this one.

There's a Japanese commercial for this one, but I prefer this for the original game...

 

 

[Razzie.P]

113,200 to start.  Should be able to get pretty deep into this one.

 

My "ninja" skills really leave a lot to be desired, though.  I've not been able to sneak past anyone.    Instead of "be one with the shadows..."  I feel like I'm more "HEY EVERYBODY I IZ HERE!!!"

Made it to stage 5-2.  Did a totally bad-ass ninja flip across a chasm but slipped on a patch of ice and botched the landing.  True story.

Made it to 7-1 and a bird knocked me off a ledge.

 

TWICE!!   ?

This is the first time in years I've played this game.  Pretty proud of myself.  Fun fact:  This was the first Ninja Gaiden game I played back in 1991.  Good times.  One time I plugged the Game Genie in and was able to clear the entire roof top part of 1-1 with a single jump.   The good ol' days.

Thanks for that heads up.  I was taking a picture every time I got a chance.

NINJA GAIDEN 2 - 67600

Killer opening and cutscenes. Wish the hit box on the spheres were a little more lenient. The continues at least help ya practice that brutal 2nd level, learning to use the wind to boost you along. I may have beaten this score by a smidge, but didn't hit screen capture in enough time (mapped it to select, so I should be faster with it). When practicing, I got to the 2nd boss, but couldn't manage a hit in. Creepy spiders tho.

 

81,400 Stage 2-2

mbd30 and Razzie.P are crushing it as usual.  Welcome to Captain Kiwi with a strong 3rd place!
