What are those noises from the game? They sound like the damned evil of Saya no Uta.
I do believe the crowd in Ninja Master had vuvuzelas.
Also, my guess would be that a specific sequence of moves takes out the stabby guys (since you had good luck only on first hits, and only with a specific opening move).
I always hated games where one hit kills you but enemies take more than one. That’s basically saying you’re weaker than EVERYONE IN THE WORLD yet are expected to be the one to save it.
Do you think they could have come up with a more generic title?
Like maybe, “Asian Protagonist” or “Eastern-type Good Guy”.
I actually had the C-64 version of Ninja Master growing up. (Firebird also released their catalog in retail stores here in the US). Had no idea there was an abysmal tie in to that ho-hum game. Some of these games you showcase on occasion could easily be Until We Win torture projects. Of course now LordKat will probably drive two hours out of his State into mine for suggesting this idea.
Holy crap, was that first magazine article racially insensitive. It replaced every L with an R, and vice versa. God damn.
This make me glad that i did not start computer gaming until Warcraft2 came out. ( oh how i miss it )
on a different note.
Americans can be strange in what they consider racist. I got chewed out for saying ” Bloke” because the person thought i meant it as ” British white trash.” When i explained that the term for that was “chav” and not Bloke they did not believe me and told me to be more excepting of other cultures mere minutes before describing someone as a ” Stupid Juanita” and then telling me to “go back to Sweden and drink myself to death in the snow.”
I just stared at her and told her i was from California. It blows my mind when the racists tell people not to be racist, when there was nothing orignally racist to begin with.
( the lady that said all this to me’s sobriety was in question as she had pupils the size of bottle caps and spoke a little too quickly ) { and yes this story is slightly exaggerated }
I remember getting the crash magazine, wow that feels like forever ago now :p
Hah, Ashens really nailed the review with that last line.
Great vid, Doc.
I’ve been looking the most horrible sound effect ever to it use as a alarm clock-tune of my cellphone (i have trouble waking up sometimes). I think i’ve found a winner, cheering crowd from Ninja Master. A fucking coma patients would wake up to that.
I’d love it if you could upload that somewhere, I’m in the exact same situation!
Finally, a new TOGYPNHO episode!
“There are no words.”
hahaha blue dildo =]
Fantastic review. Love your reviews. Love when you review electronics too.
Loved it.
Awesome as always, Ashens.
I’ve seen better graphics on a microvision.
Awesome review!
HIlarious video
Thanks for brightening up my day Ashens, your series rocks
Wow, the crowd noise is damn scary. Sounds like they are coming down from the stands to tear the ninja’s head off or something.
Oh Ashens, that new intro is horrible.
In a good way.
That crowd sounded like the screams from the pits of hell.
I have one question for those people who worked in Tron Sofware and thats “what were you thinking?”.
excelent reviewwwwwww
I’d say that Oriental Hero is a shitty clone of Kung Fu Hero/Kung Fu.
Yes i owned this too..i guess they were trying to compete with Gremlin’s Way of the Tiger,only without the 1 on 1 combat…which is stupid really.
Wow that game is so bad…indeed this is a fitting punishment for “Tron” software
