  • again another game i use to play ALOT as a kid classic ..

    Alex the Kidd

    Shonobi

    Black belt

    Mortal kombat mega drive

    mario and sonic

    golden axe

    all classics

  • 1:17 Sub Zero

  • Everything was so much easier with the gun...

  • vicio da porra

  • i actually always thought shinobi was better on master system than iy was on megadrive/genesis.

  • This takes me back to 1992...

  • you've played this before...

  • 4:45

    I wonder how long they've been waiting down there?

  • @RustyKnightX rotfl

  • I remember playing this at my grand parents house all the time. I sucked at it but damn this game was fun as fuck.

  • 1:13, two for the price of one. Nice shot.

  • Ninjas in scuba gear!

  • Ahhh, this game brings back memories. I remember there was this cheat code to skip to different levels.

  • you didnt have to cheat on any of nintendo, sega, super nintendo games. the hardest part of all those games were just that the levels got harder later on in the games but were a lot of fun.

  • classic. they dont make them like they use to. old school 2d games are the best. You freaking walk around all over in games like zelda looking to do something then when you reach something they give you a ridiculous puzzle to figure out. the making behind these games are stupid.

  • man, that takes me back. this is ridiculous :D

  • LOL - i use to play this nearly every day as a kid!!!

  • Although the arcade-version is untouchable, the sega version is still decent with great music

  • Shinobi 3D is here!

  • One of my best favourite games!!

  • Shinobi vs Ninja gaiden......hmmmmm

  • Follow @RalphChemiST

  • Wow! This brings back some good memories! They had this video game in the mini-arcade at the 7-11 down the street from where my Grandma lived in the mid 80's to the early 90's, in Berwyn, IL. She used to give me and my friends a bunch of quarters, and we would ride our skateboards to the 7-11 and play this game for hours! I was a Shinobi champ back then! lol

  • rock on griffins in mallow bleed me dry

  • Ahh man..these were the good ol days of video games (1986-89).

    I miss those days...I still have my Sega Master System & it still works..

  • i win at 1' 24 i gust play it safe is better lol

  • always thought the 1st boss was shredder from ninja turtles

  • Shinobi is just an icon for the master system and for arcade in general. I dearly love it. They coud've put in at least two different level soundtracks though

  • this game was amazing. Nothing beats old school video games. NOTHING

  • MEMORIES RIGHT HERE!!!!

  • i see this game and it reminds me of my multiple epic failures in the bonus round....stupid ninjas jumping at me

  • I had this it was OK

  • OMFG THE MEMORIES!

  • Most psychedelic SFX ever.

  • my childhood =)

    tks for the video!

  • I remember this game even though it's not on the wii virtual console there is a arcade version of the game it's still is the same thing

  • I used to play this game after school when i was like 13 years old!!!

  • Alex kidd and this were the first games i'ave ever played

  • Awesome video dude!!! So many great memories...

  • I liked alot but let me tell you something;I played on a Sega Master System that has better music than this(all because of a Yamaha 2413 sound chip).

  • The Arcade version was and still is the shiznit bar none.

  • Shinobi can get shot but the kids cant lmao

  • Shizz boy, you're flying through the game. I think the most I ever made it was beating the Mandara boss and that;s prob it. Thanks for the upload! Music is bad ass.

  • Goddam I loved this game as a kid. Ha, Its amazing the shit you can find on youtube.

  • I remember it being much more difficult... Or did I just suck back in the days?

  • i forgot shredder was the first boss.

  • Que genial música...great music...!!

  • omg this version is so poor!

  • i dont think Shinobi hard EastCoastDude99 2 days funny guy doing it slowly at 1;0 7

  • This game was fucking awesome. It was hard as hell too. I loved the Master System, it was short lived but had great games.

  • did anyone ever get ALL the ninja magic? i only got the freeze frame, flying squirrel, and the black lasers everywhere attacks. was there more? (LoL and the *dink* sound of dead bosses is timeless)

  • Alex Kidd in Shinobi World uses some of the same music in this game.

  • era feliz naum sabia

  • I hated the music when I was younger. But I remember this game.

  • Music is class.

  • Brings back childhood memories. Thank you very much!:)

  • How come you didn;t rescue all of the hostages? The arcade version has you to rescue all in a level before you can continue.

  • There wasn't enough memory on this cartridge to hold more than one song. That is how we did it, back in the day!

  • if you've ever played the arcade version, this feels like the atari 2600 port of pac-man. really, its that bad.

  • Tank!

  • lol i used 2 find them jumps difficult in the lobster stage my cuz used 2 hide the key i found it didnt tell him n when he were at school i were on it till 3 o clock then put the key in the same place lol

  • nintendo was so much better

  • this game has the same music for every level

  • um doa melhores jogos do maravilhoso master

  • This game looks a lot like Moonwalker. The difference is that, in the latter, the enemies are actually trying to save the kids from you.

  • @BlitzkriegBR

    LMAO!

    Seriously though, that game was also one of Sega's best efforts, especially the Mega Drive version.... I love doing the special dance in that one...

    I mean in the mega drive version the kids actually say "Michael!", and sometimes if you position the character right it can look like he's "recieving favors" from the kids! lol!

  • a great game

  • I credit this game to being my first ever exposure to Warhol.

  • oie kompa

    donde puedo konseguirlo para pc???

    ese juego me rekuerda mi infancia por fa

  • Holy cow. I did go back and see that game. Reason being of the major difference is that Tengen did the NES version. And as you know, Tengen's games sucked. Oh, and yes. The Master System did pretty much own the NES. Problem is, NES had Mario. No one could beat that at the time

  • OMG this brings back so many brilliant memories ^^, & u do exactly what i use to lol... shoot & jump when u about to finish LOL

  • the arcade was more challenging

  • How come he didn't just bring a gun in the first place? I never understood this as a child, but now.... some how I do understand......

  • Man I love this master system version is way better than the genesis something about this version its just classic. O yeah way to be beast at this game lol.

  • Man I love this master system version is way better than the genesis something about this version its just classic. O yeah way to be beast at this game lol.

  • ouch i was thinking walthrought this game but now... great game i'm finishing my guide of Shadow of the Beast, see in my channel

  • my original best of music video games

    thanks staff music

  • favourited

  • My all time favorite game!

    However, this is quite a lame version of the arcade game.

    You can play the original game 1-to-1 on PC by using Sega System16 emulator.

  • this is exactly like Alex Kidd :p

  • ninja scuba divers!! i miss this game.... i remember my dad, uncle, sister and i used to kill many hours playing sega master system games. time to go dig up the old console and play some killer 80's games.

  • wonderful game remember it from my childhood, really was one of my favorites along with metroid, wonderboy in monsterland, kid icarus etc.

  • hmmm,it runs alot faster than it does on my sega master system.

    emulator?

  • No, this is the right play speed. Did you play it in PAL? I always get comments from PAL players about videos being too fast. PAL seems like slow motion compared to NTSC.

  • one of tha best games ever. My child hood is hard wired to this game.  Ole rochdale village

  • Is that michael jackson?

  • never managed to get through the game as a kid

  • Just remembered they ripped you off on he the music on the home game! I was never really a happy camper till years later when I could play an emulated arcade version on the computer at home...one quarter baby! (the only way you could win, no continues on the last mission!) I did still borrow the home game from my buddy, but I was too obsessed with the arcade version to buy it....:)

  • MAN.... NOW THIS. WAS A NINJA GAME. SEE THIS?!

    *Wears his vintage Shinobi shirt in pride*

  • i so remember this

  • Damn, this game is GREAT...one of the first I bought for the SMS :D

  • The arcade version was better

  • el shinobi chileno

  • he has blue eyes on the title screen wtf lol

  • i love da little song after u finish a stage!!!

  • i think da master system version is better dan da arcade version.

  • loved this game eventhough I couldn't beat it.

    sucks that it only takes 14 minutes to beat the game but as a kid it takes hours.

  • I miss this game. The original!  And does anyone remember its connection to Ninja Gaiden?

  • @doctorsartorius, of course! In Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi defeated the two demons that kept the harmony of life in check, or something along those lines, its been like 15 years since I've played it.. But thats Nintendo, Shinobi is Sega, how a Sega character got into a Nintendo game is beyond me. I always thought there wasn't a connection, more like a coincidence.

  • well NG is actually a Tecmo game and not a Nintendo game.

  • Wow this is great!!! My introduction to video games as well We would be so lost without the internet

  • Arcade version is SOOOOOO... (eternity and beyond more Os and double that) much better! But this game is still EXTREAMLY FUN!

  • Shinobi

    He saves children by kicking them sky high out of danger

  • lol :D

  • @Virconianelf to bad. the sky is not save anymore...because Micheal Jackson is dead.

    RIP Micheal we will miss you... and the Jokes we had made about u.

  • @Virconianelf lol

  • @Virconianelf lol!

  • @Virconianelf lol

  • Respond to this video... i know this wasnt as crisp as the arcade machine but this had somthing about it i could never put my finger on it but i liked just as much when i got it christmas morning with hang on and space harrier =) they were the days

  • Comment removed

  • The NES version stunk because it was an unlicensed port.

  • @Yarkie and some of the boss battles looked more like if they came from a beta version

  • the best

  • Great game

  • o-o the houses are trippy

  • Shinobi for ps2 was the best in the series, but for 2D Shinobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master takes the prize, IMO.

    It is the inspiration for my 2D ninja chick game coming to the 360 indie section. You can see the work in progress on my youtube channel.

  • i stayed up late bak in the dayz playin this game and it was that good that i played it over and over and over i wasnt dissapointed with anything and i still aint now still a game i will never forget

  • commodore amiga version was closest to the arcade.

  • master system version was not a direct port from arcade, sprites were much smaller and a lot less defined, less colours lots of flicker bad sound and bad animation, i remember being very dissapointed in a lot of mastersystem games cos they always used arcade screenshots to advertise.

  • why did you intentionally lose the second bonus round?

  • to shorten the video

  • whoop shinobi rules

  • El juego está cambiado, recuerdo que era imposible pasar el nivel dejando uno de los niños atados en el nivel...

  • Impossible only on arcade version...

  • obviously played the game a bit too much ^^

  • I had this game it was one of the first games i played in my life my first video game was master system i only come to the 2nd stage of it never passed the 2nd stage!!!

  • i totally dig the music of the master system version.

    this was the game that got everyone hooked on "Ninja Games" Even Ninja Gaiden on the NES pays homage to "Shinobi" in one cutscene

  • Wow, never saw the Sega Master System version of this game. Haha, WTF is up with the life bar and the 10 ninjas in the bonus level? The arcade version was the shiznit! It's on xbox live arcade, and I've been playing it nonstop. The arcade version is so hard, you actually have to be a real ninja to beat it.

  • This is much harder than the arcade version

  • I don't think... one hit kills in arcade version!

  • The sms version doesnt have that magic stuff that you can use where you stand straight and cause that explosion which kills everyone in the screen..the sms version is the real deal IMO

  • i remember when i first had this game as little boy i got FUCKING ANGRY AT THE FIRST FUCKING BOSS because i didn't know how to kill him. then my classmate said "shoot him in the eyes, duh!"

    i facepalmed

  • Been looking for this game TOO. Finally I know what I want for Christmas.

  • I just realized that the game Alex Kidd in Shinobi World copies this game down to the music track. :S Or the other way around.

  • This game was the shit when I was in 7th grade...Thanks for the post...SEGA rules..

  • Much harder on the arcade, one hit and your dead! Layout slightly different plus the master system had the nunchuck!! Oh and can use spell anytime...AND bonus round 3x amount of ninjas!!!!

  • WOW I ACTUALLY watched the entire thing.

  • The best times the best games the best childhood memories

  • very right man....same here

  • Oh u played this too!:))

  • best master system game. played this one forever when i was a kid.

  • i prefer revenge of shinobi. thats the better one (in my opinion). since the sega genesis is 16-bit means faster. i did like shinobi 3 :)

  • btw, this looks kinda like a good game! it looks pretty basic! this version and the arcade one should be on the virtual console! :) it might soon..

  • cool. When i´ve had 3 years,This game was very hard for me,never ends stage 2.

  • the music from the first mission is a classic! lol

  • oh my god i use to love this fucking game, i loved using the ninja majic "HAI YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

  • only 14min long? rly?

  • Amazing game!

  • I still can't get past the 3rd boss...

  • The devs should have allowed the player to use ninja magic on that one. I play Shinobi to this day and still cannot beat that 3rd boss with full power ups. You have to be so quick and accurate with every shot!

  • Tell me about it! if it wasnt for the level select cheat I would never have seen what the other stages looked like!

  • the best way to beat the 3rd boss is to use knives ...the quickest

  • MMMmmmmmmm!... That's good childhood memory!

  • man i used to play this for ages....its amazing how this guy played thru this without even dying. mate i got dead like heaps of times just mainly from mistiming my jumps in the later levels. its easy now when you play it knowing where the enemies are and the patterns they use. sega rocked :)

  • This version is better than then Nintendo but I still prefer the arcade version

  • Ah so now I know where the Alex Kidd in Shinobi World music is ripped from.....should have played the original I guess!

  • Ah that was an awesome game too!!

  • i think he took the first boss's eye out

  • i use to love this game

  • it was a great arcade game. i wish it was released on wii virtual console. its unlockable on mega drive collection for ps3 and xbox

  • donde puedo descargarlo este juego?

  • lol i play this on ps3 on sega master collection lol. Graphics are awful!

  • they have a master system collection on ps3?

  • Taking me waaaaaaay back. Good times.

  • i loved the way this game lookt at the arcade but the console version didnt really look the way i thought it would. i remember it was 60 or 70$ at target back then lol

  • This game rocks. What a classic!

  • I have a question for thi game,why the hell sega never released the arcade version in the genesis system??

  • I always asked myself the same question.

  • Ok i have a big question about this version of the game why the hell sega never release the arcade shinobi in the genesis system??

  • this game is unlockable in the new sega genesis collection coming out for xbox 360 and ps3 :D

  • is it me or is retro gaming music better than todays game music?? lol its just so simple n great!!!!!!!!!!! long live retro games!!!!!!!!!!

  • Back in the day, VG music composers had to concentrate on the actual composition in order to make the music appealing despite of its hardware restrictions.

    Nowadays, companies have become somewhat lazy and more often than not just outsource the music to some generic music studio -- yielding generic results that have great sound but mediocre composition.

  • Agreeed

  • check this game on mame emulator its the same how like the coin up game

  • Hey talbot1939, I hate to bother you with another question but, what is the controller configuration for this game?

    What attacks, jumps, and does the Ninjitsu?
