Ninja! The most fearsome warrior in history, now faces the ultimate test in
the Palace of Death. He must prove his worth to the Princess of the Orient by
recovering her priceless idols from the grip of the evil one.
As well as fists of thunder and feet of iron, honed through the long years of
apprenticeship to a deadly cutting edge, Ninja is granted the use of
traditional weaponry: Samurai sword, spinning death-stars and a lethal
throwing dagger effective from great range if hurled with accuracy.
Ranged against him will be hordes of paid thugs and criminals and - most
terrifying of all - evil Ninja's lured away from the side of justice to fight
for the forces of darkness! Equal in skill to himself they will provide the
sternest possible test of his courage and determination to succeed.
As he rises up through the level of the Palace, his opponents multiply and
their strength increases. Little by little he weakens. One mistake now and
death is certain to follow swiftly! He must fight to the end to return with
the seven idols and victory!
