Ninja Master

Ninja Master is a video game in the action genre developed by Tron Software and published by Firebird Software originally released in 1986. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 16, Plus/4.

Ninja Master combines four small subgames into one.

You are a ninja in training. You want to impress your peers and become a true ninja. The time has come for the annual games and you must compete and succeed in them to achieve your goal. The games consist of four tests:

Test 1: The test of the arrows.
Arrows fly at you from outside the screen, both right and left, from above, from the middle and from below. You must avoid getting hit by punching or kicking the arrow, so not only do you have to press the right key, but you have to do it at the right time.

Test 2: Breaking a block of wood
There are two keys called 'Right Power' and 'Left Power'. You must press them alternately to accumulate as much power as you can within a time limit. With enough power, the wood breaks and the audience applauds.

Test 3: The Shuriken Star Test
As in the arrow test, stars fly at you from off the screen and you must block them by pressing the right key at the right time. However, the stars travel faster and, since you are using your ninja sword and not your fist and feet, you have a longer range, so there is less time to react.

Test 4: The Blow Dart Test
In this test you must use a blowgun to hit targets.

In all tests there is a qualifying score and you have three attempts to beat that score.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
