Great fast action adventure game for my very first console. I've spent quite a number of hours playing this game. Thank God for infinite continues, else I'd have to use cheat codes. It took me a while, but I managed to beat this game, yes I did! 😎

You've got to love the ending boss when there's the anime cut scene. It's all like "where's the weakness?" and there's a double take. It's so funny because there's nothing else on the wall except the giant evil glowing crystal orb of doom, and Ryu's all like "I can't find any weakness, damn this ninja mask with poor visibility!" or something like that.

I think that was the 2nd to last boss: Ryu's father controlled by a demon. The last, last boss was this big-ass alien creature, IIRC, that goes from left to right at the top of the screen.
