Wrath of the Black Manta (NES) Gameplay (Part 1)

Gameplay from the NES game, Wrath of the Black Manta.

In the 80s and early 90s, everyone was a ninja, and everyone had an anti-drug message. Where the two intersected on the Nintendo, we got Wrath of the Black Manta, about a ninja in a fairly bright purple outfit walking around in broad daylight throwing ninja stars at identical thugs and holding guys at knifepoint.

As ridiculous as it sounds, it's not a bad game. All that's missing is the FBI seal and "Winners Don't Use Drugs". I think.

Just picked up the new Deus Ex: HR game tonight, and here I am watching a walkthrough of a video game that was popular over twenty-years ago. HA!

@AmadeusExcello You've got this all wrong. This game was never popular.

"Who could be calling in the middle of the night?" - Once a ninja, always a ninja!

[HardWiredGaming]

@kamratframjandet You have to understand, this was the 80s. You were either a ninja or the guy in a white T-shirt and jeans that beat the ninjas up. There wasn't much of a middle ground.

Note: "The man in red knows something."

*grabs man in red*

Manta: "Where is your boss?"

Man in Red "I don't know."

Classic!

those guys in blue in the beginning always reminded me of ppl from india LOL

[d21lewis]

Wait. Why did his master call when he was right there? And did he have a cell phone? And how did Taro leave that note at the crime scene telling where he would be held at? Did the kidnappers tell him?

I always loved the sound the tanto knife makes at close range kills
