I remember spending a lot of my time playing this
Gauntlet clone. The game has a certain appeal that keeps
you coming back for more. As well as playing well, it
also looks nice and sounds superb thanks to Matt Gray's
thumping tunes.
Unfortunately, back in 1989, I couldn't manage to
complete Ninja Massacre, but 20 years down the line, I
stumbled upon a Derbyshire Ram (AKA
Barry Joynes) crack that contained a trainer, which
offered the player infinite lives and energy. That'll do
me...
There are fifty levels to
beat of this martial arts based action game. It's a one
or two player game which really needs to be played with
a friend to get the best out of it. You can fire
shuriken and collect magic power-ups to help you fight
the relentless hordes of bad guys. It's a very simple
game with basic graphics and gameplay, but it's fun to
play and there are plenty of levels to keep you busy for
a while. Not a bad little budget release.

The final level is
near-on complete!

Through the final
doorway and we're done.

The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
We both cheated by using a cool little trainer by the late and great
Barry Joynes.
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Once you reach the final exit, you walk through and an
ending message appears, which reads: "WELL DONE YOUNG
MAN. YOUR TASK IS COMPLETE".
