GAMEPLAY
     The player progresses through each level and meets various enemies
along the way.  The Ninja in this game has perfected the techniques of
the Triple Blow Combination.  The Flying Neck Throw, the Hang Kick, the
Phoenix Backflip and the Tightrope technique.
     As he cuts a swathe through each zone, items appear from within
trash cans, signs and telephone booths.  His mission is to fight his way
through six of the toughest neighborhoods in america as he collects
these items and destroys the assassination squads on his way to the
final conflict with the evil Demon.

HINTS AND TIPS
     Try not to let enemies get on both sides of you.  If they do then
try to position an object between you.
     Use objects to take a breather from the action.
     Try jumping over enemies and hitting them from behind.
     Do not rush quickly through the levels.  Stop and wait for enemies
to come on screen individually or in pairs and take them without going
on.  This way large gangs of baddies will be avoided.
