What the devil? This is Shinobi with Alex Kidd. Alex Kidd was an awful game. But then again, so was the Sega Master System conversion of Shinobi.
But put those two cr*ptastic game together and what do you get ? Absolute pure 8 bit joy.
The graphics absolutely scream 8 bit goodness. Easy on the eye with pathetic backgrounds but pleasing use of the limited palette to make weird and wonderful enemies.
Even the rubbish sound effects, but easy on the ear music, brought out all the nostalgic goodness of the Sega's 8 bit sound chip.
Best of all, it was super easy. After that trauma I had with Contra and Gradius, this was a breath of fresh air.
I always knew that there was something special about the Sega Master System.
