Sorry for the delay Guys and Girls! We had a little problem getting in touch with Fr@ser about what game he wanted for his Champ's Challenge - so we decided to use one of his first nominations - the excellent Shinobi

Settings:

Looks like we will be using default

For those of you who can't be bothered to read KLOV comes this:
Tricks: 5000 extra points per level for not pressing the Ninja Magic button. 20000 extra points per level for not shooting shurikens or bullets.

As always: NO Continues and NO Autofire allowed.

We will be playing this game for 2 WEEKS so please have your scores in by 15th July

Scores at 16:30 on the 14th

Can I just say,

"Rolling Thunder with added Ninjas" :P


EDIT: for the newcomers, the Champ's Challenge is just for fun but it is a good chance to test yourself against the others.

Strangely, I've never played this before, just the similar games/sequels.

Good choice Fr@ser (Seeing as how I nominated it as well :D )

Some handy hints

3 buttons, jump, fire and ninja wind (smart bomb)
The Fire button has 4 options depending on where you are and what powerups you have.

You normally shoot shurikens but if you have picked up the powerup (got by rescuing a particular child on each level) you shoot bullets.

However if you are right next to an enemy this changes to kick/ sword. If you can kill every bad guy on a stage using either kick or sword (or just run away from the others) you get 20,000 bonus. It's quite easy (!) to do this on levels 1 and 2 with a bit of practice.

The Bonus stages after each end of level give you an extra life if you can kill all the ninjas. The first one is pretty easy as there are no ninjas who either come in on the front platform and jump straight away or who jump from the back to the front and then immediately jump again so just rush from side to side shooting all the time and pick off any ones who look like they are getting too close.

The guys with the large swords either just wave them around (Purple) or throw them at you (green/ brown). If you kill the Green/brown guy when his sword is flying towards you it will keep coming so watch out. Your shurikens or bullets just bounce off their swords. Also if you kill any of these folk and then die, they don't regenerate on that level.

The guys with the small guns usually fire 3 times and then have to stop to reload so you have a breather when they can't kill you.

The Ninjas are Green (takes 2 hits to kill), Blue (appear and disappear), Red (leap about like mad). Think there are other colours as well - like Yellow at the end of Stage 2.

On level 2 you can jump over the fence by holding up and jump or down and jump. You can also land on top of a guy with a small gun if he is lying on the ground and he can't lie down again so it's easy to kill him.

Hope this helps :P

Quite enjoying it. Always thought it was a bit repetitive, but not really noticed it this time.

Do we all want to play another week of this to tide us over to the new season, or come up with another challenge to cover the gap until the 5th of August?
