This is a sequel to Shinobi and also WAY better, which is not surprising with sequels, but yeah - they can of course be worse too.

I usually read reviews/comments before playing/recording my Amiga longplays, and this one has many complaining about the controls and also how the dog never attacked and was useless. I found the controls alright and the dog attacks by pressing down+fire, guess they didn't know that. Sometimes I have to tell the dog to attack twice though, as he starts going, but then stops. No biggie, only happened a couple of times or something anyway.

02:24 - Waited for the boss to do his two attacks before I attacked him, or he would never had done any if I started attacking him immediately and kept hitting him fast enough so he kept backing, like I did after the balls were shown.

04:17 - I got stuck here and couldn't move. Only option to get out was to kill him with either attacks (normal or special).

04:32 - Can't jump down through these steps, had to walk.

11:20 - Can't exit to the right until I've walked to the left first, hmmm.

13:03 - This is the last bonus stage, so I lose on purpose to show what happens. Did the same in my Shinobi longplay.

13:37 - Unlike before (at 4:17), this time I can't even do a normal attack. I was left with only one option - the special. If I didn't have one, I would be stuck until the time runs out. Could of course have loaded an earlier state and made sure it didn't happen again, but kept it in as it's an interesting bug/glitch/situation. Could also have ended it after the first bounce, same with 4:17, but then it wouldn't have been fun, so waited a bit first.

15:14 - Weird all those shurikens kept passing through the above enemy.

16:12 - Couldn't jump to the next platform from where I stood. Saying this so you don't think I tried to jump normally and shoot them Smile

17:20 - This is the last time I can die, so did that to show the death. -
