comment |
Charlie Ninja is a rather obscure arcade game made in 1994 by Mitchell, a company behind other obscure gems such as Cannon Dancer (Also known as Osman in the West). You control a pair of ninjas hunting down a slew of strange, unrelated villians for monetary rewards.It plays like a fairly average Platform Game, crossed with a Fighting Game: our heroes are able to perform a variety of special moves with specific button and joystick movement combinations. It also has a very peculiar art style, which looks like a homage/parody of American comic book and cartoon characters, complete with Written Sound Effects, many years before Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt made this style cool and fashionable. |

Anachronism Stew: The first stage is set in the American wild west, complete with outlaws dressed in a cowboy getup, which is juxtaposed in later levels that feature an appropriate setting and technology. This actually fits within the game's zany nature. |

Guide Dang It!: While the attract mode takes its time to show that, by pressing both the jump and shoot button at the same time, you will activate the temporary invincibility (A rather difficult feat, huh?), the button and movement sequences used to perform the special moves are explained absolutely nowhere in the game. |
