Questions & Answers

Is it a CD or a cartridge? rom?

For the Sega Master System, this is a cartridge.

Is it possible to play this game on a Sega Genesis Core System 2?

No, because this is a game for the Sega Master System, not the Sega Genesis. The power base converter (which allowed master system games to be played) is only compatible with model 1. I believe the converters I'm referring to are difficult to find. Other devices, such as the retron 3 in 1, have been created, but this one is specifically for the retron 5. I saw a video where someone got it to play master system games but not game gear, but he had a model 1 and it might fit in a model 2 as well, but this device was designed for the retron 5, so it's not a guarantee. I hope this helps, I know it's a lot of information.

Is the Sega Genesis Flashback compatible with this?

No, it will not work with a power base converter on a Sega Master System, Master System 2, or Sega Genesis. there will be no flashbacks

Selected User Reviews For Shinobi

Playing as a ninja is a classic ninja game
5/5

Shinobi was one of the first video games to feature a ninja. One of the pioneering titles is this one. This game is a must-have for shinobi fans. br>br> br>br>In this 2D sidescroller, you play as Joe Musashi, a skilled ninja with a variety of weapons at his disposal. There are several levels in each mission. You move from left to right (sometimes right to left, depending on the level) while killing enemies, upgrading your weapons, and rescuing hostages (by touching them) in each level. A massive boss fight awaits you at the conclusion of the mission. If you complete the level, you will be taken to a bonus level, which is a fun but difficult shuriken shooting gallery. Oh, and did I mention ninja magic, which allows you to destroy all enemies on screen, freeze enemies, and float through the air? To summarize, this is old school platforming. br>br>The game is extremely well-made. It's a very appealing piece of music. For an 8-bit game, the graphics are fantastic. It has a vintage feel to it. When you play it today, it gives off a vintage vibe. The controls are fluid, and there are only a few minor glitches that have little impact on the gameplay. br>br>However, this isn't the first Shinobi game; in fact, it isn't even the first Shinobi game. It's an Arcade game that's been ported to the PC. There are a few differences if you've ever played the arcade version. You do have a life bar, and you don't die right away; it takes a few hits to kill you. There are a variety of magical types. In addition, the pace of the game is generally slower, and the levels are larger. Bosses have a distinct appearance and fight style. It's almost as if this is a sequel to Shinobi. If you've already played the arcade version, it'll still be worth your time. This game is suitable for: br>br> Ninja-style bl> fansbr>retro-br>retro-br>retro-br>r Anyone with a Master System!br>Gamers who enjoy 2D platformersbr>Anyone who owns a Master System!.

The best ninja game available on SMS
5/5

The most underappreciated console this side of the Turbografx is where cross-eyed ninjas do it best.

Shinobi is not one of those people
3/5

When I bought this game, the label said "Shinobi," but it was actually "hang on. " So it's not what I was looking for, and I'm a little disappointed.

Although simple, this is accurate
4/5

It's obvious that this is a port, but it's a good one. The game's gameplay is solid and consistent, and it does a good job of downscaling the arcade to an 8-bit platform. system based on bits Take advantage of this opportunity now, as I believe it will soon be regarded as a hidden gem.

5/5

For a retro game, this is a must-have. The game has stood the test of time and is still enjoyable to play.
