Released in 1989 by Sega, Shadow Dancer is the sequel to the arcade classic Shinobi. Like Shinobi, Shadow Dancer is similar in mechanics to the original game. You play as a ninja, taking on a group of enemies in order to save kids by jumping up and down through levels from a higher and lower layer while throwing shurikens, rockets, using swords and special ninja powers to defeat opponents and kill bosses. Back at a time when ninjas were the cool guys and pirates were something nobody thought much of aside from Captain Hook and how camp that whole thing was where he spent his life chasing the boy-that-never-grew-up and we wonder why nobody called Social Services and locked this boy-hungry nonce, away in the first place.
In the 13th episode of Impossible Gaming, Chadley attempts the sequel to Shinobi, Shadow Dancer on the old out-dated Sega Master System. Him and his co-host Tristan discuss the limitations of the Sega Master System controller, Chadley’s inner warrior, awesome special moves and more!
Deviosity writes, "So I didn’t really see this one coming: it looks like Sega’s gone and partnered with Valve’s Steam service as a means of distributing class Sega Genesis titles on the PC platform. As of right now there are eleven (11!) classic Genesis games available for purchase on Windows computers. Sorry Mac users! Not all of these are what I’d personally include in a compilation such as this, but there are a number of fun times to be had in this list:"
