Shadow Dancer vs The Ninja Warriors

Shadow Dancer is a 1989 action platformer where a ninja master and his faithful dog battle a terrorist group planting time bombs across the city. Players traverse four missions, defusing explosives and confronting enemies in fast‑paced side‑scrolling combat. The game retains its retro arcade feel while offering tight controls and memorable pixel art, making it a timeless challenge for platform enthusiasts.

The Ninja Warriors delivers classic side‑scrolling hand‑to‑hand combat where players control either Kunoichi or Ninja, battling waves of Banglar forces across five dystopian levels. Each character features unique combo moves, dash attacks, throws, stabbing, and air strikes, with a special energy bar that fuels powerful attacks when filled.
