The Ninja Warriors was unique in late-80s arcades, featuring a novel display system that created the illusion of an extremely wide display using three monitors and mirrors to create an almost seamless experience. The game featured relatively high-res graphics as well as an unusual amount of blood for its time, but both the premise (two ninja-like androids are sent to take down a tyrannical US government) and the oddly slow pace of the game worked against expectations. The game's undeniable 80s cool factor, including a fantastic synth soundtrack, has given The Ninja Warriors an ongoing cult status.
