シンジケートに囚われの身となっている、子供忍者を助け出すのが目的の忍者アクションゲーム。画面に手前と奥という概念があるのが特徴的。通常攻撃は手裏剣だが敵に近づいている場合には、自動的に刀による攻撃となる。これを利用して、手裏剣を1度も使わないでクリアすると、シークレットボーナス（通称：忍ボーナス）が得られる。その他、各面では一度だけ忍術を使用することができる。全5ミッション。当初「手裏剣コンパネ」と呼ばれる特殊コンパネを使うという計画がありロケテストまで行われていたという。
ストーリー:
赤忍者、青忍者、黄忍者、そしてアウトローたちが集合した極悪非道のシンジケートに、子供忍者が囚われてしまった。体術、忍術の奥義を極めた"ジョー・ムサシ"は、救出とシンジケート壊滅のため単身敵地へと向かう。ムサシよ、正義の忍術で悪を絶て。

Shinobi (c) 1987 Sega Enterprises, Ltd.
A scrolling platform beat-em-up in which the player takes on the role of Joe Musashi, a Shinobi Ninja, who must fight his way through 5 tough missions - each made up of between 3 to 5 stages - in his quest to rescue the kidnapped Ninja children of the Iga clan; now hostages of an evil Ninja syndicate called "Zeed". To complete a mission, the player must rescue all of the kidnapped children on each level, with the number of hostages remaining displayed on a meter in the bottom left corner of the screen.
The Shinobi Ninja begins each level armed with either 'shuriken' throwing stars or a gun for long-range attacks; and a Samurai sword for close-range combat. In addition, the Ninja also has one 'Magic Attack' per level; a smart bomb which kills or damages all on-screen enemies. A points bonus is awarded whenever a level is completed without the Magic Attack being used. An end-of-level guardian awaits the player at the end of each mission, and each takes several hits before it is killed. Once a boss is defeated, the player is taken to a bonus stage in which a large number of Ninjas will try to 'jump' from the back of the screen to the front to attack the player. A bonus life is awarded if the player manages to kill all of the Ninjas without being attacked.
Shinobi was a huge success for Sega, and deservedly so. Its perfectly realized blend of platform and fighting action and is as fine an exponent of the 'easy to get into, difficult to master' gameplay ethic as video games have seen.

- TRIVIA -
Shinobi was released in November 1987 in Japan.
Shinobi was one of the many names given to the ninja in feudal Japan. Its literal translation is 'stealer-in'; a reference to what Ninjas specialized in above all else. By employing any number of tricks such as stealth walking and staying upwind of any guard animals, the Shinobi went undetected about his mission. On a more devious level, the Shinobi was also a master of disguise, and would often 'steal in' to village communities disguised as a local, or into enemy palaces disguised as a wandering priest.
Marilyn Monroe's face appears on several posters in the Mission 1 second stage.
A Shinobi cabinet can be seen in the Nickelodeon show All That (from 1997 to 2000). however it used a fictional marquee which was made for the show.
- SCORING -
Scoring in this game is very easy. Each enemy is worth 100 points with the exception of the Purple Guard and the Sword Throwing Guard which are worth 500 points. The bosses are 5000 points apiece. NOTE : The Purple Guards and Sword Throwing Guards are the ones that guard the hostages.
In addition to getting points from killing enemies, you can also score points for time left on the clock after you complete a level. You get 30 points per second of remaining time.
You can also receive special bonuses at the end of each level for certain actions :
1) If you don't use your ninja magic, you get a 5000 point bonus.
2) If you only use your Ninja-to sword (no Shurikens or gunfire), you get a 20000 point bonus.

No cheat. No tas.

[@cyberdelicxp9125]

I dont think i ever saw beyond level 3. Thank you for closure to this childhood trauma...why all the Ninja games from back then so damn hard !?

[@KCKing-iu4cw]

This Video Games Soundtrack Is A Classic! I love All The Sounds And Music In The Game!!

[@refuseresist4230]

Wow!! One of my favorite games in the arcade , you took me back thanks for posting this!!

[@Gosho21c]

最初はそこそこの難易度で楽しめたが、飛び道具を使わないと入るスペシャルボーナスが 判明してからの盛り上がりが凄かった。パンチ、キック、刀で切るには敵キャラと間合い を詰めなければならないので難易度が数段上がりましたね。

[@antoinejones448]

87 baby greatest year of all time!!!!

[@darklordojeda]

So many games in the 80's had to have enemies that looked like Arnold.

[@darklordojeda]

@@shojo8708 lol yeah Arnold was the baddest dude around in the 80s. Well at least the characters he portrayed were.

[@larrymannino444]

I still remember the one time I beat this - arcade version - never played it again - thanks for the vid!

[@badhabit714]

All it takes to knock spiderman off the wall is a ninja star.

[@m.o7861]

当時めちゃくちゃはまって1コインクリアしました❗ たぶんノーマルの難易度でしたね。このあとチームシノビはこれを含めて4作作ったけど本音はもっともっと出して欲しかったです😢⤵️⤵️

[@kkroyu]

Don't lie You know you love the music 😎

[@ShadowDancer_]

Yea, but nothing tops Shinobi 3's music lol

[@claresaprama499]

1:58 That's quite a jumpscare there...

[@zahirsadiq3264]

Music brought back arcade life of my childhood...

Ninjas most powerful ninjutsu... Submachine guns!

[@pinkelephantz286]

Hard is when you get 20,000 special bonus on every level. This is the Best coin op ever.

[@axelbertrand5791]

Quel jeu de zinzin j y jouais sur la borne d'arcade de mon arrière grand père et j'ai enfin trouvé un émulateur pour y rejouer, quel plaisir

[@user-rc7fn7tk4m]

BGM...so nice

[@Reysol_and_Dragons_and_Lions]

懐かしい。 惜しむらくはボーナスステージ成功パターン見たかったかな。 忍術使うタイミングが難しい。 温存し過ぎて失敗するのが私の常でした。

This was the best shinobi

[@ivanhappysky]

[@phillylopez4295]

I miss these real games

[@tommasol9161]

Best game ever, I've finished the original arcade with only One Coin After a Summer when every days I played with my my old Friends

[@vittoriodrummer62]

I love this game.

[@waynebarton1633]

This is one of my ALL time favourites 💪😎.

[@FUTURAGAEL]

Min 1:18 The enemy in her sprites and palette is most similar to original character Spiderman from DC Marvel

[@parkerbelholland1037]

I seem to remember if you do a stage without firing a bullet (just using your close-in sword or body attacks), you get a whole bunch of bonus points.

[@superviewer]

I'll have to try that.

[@markt1547]

That's correct. I used to be able to complete the game this way with the exception of the bosses and a couple of other stages.

[@JonathanBranmham]

​@@markt1547you can also use ninjutsu ( ninja magic) and it won't hurt you getting the bonus points

[@qoooop86]

神！！

[@meisterchris8075]

Dafuq o.O I even cant past level 4 without infinite continues. i must admit that Im really impressed . Awesome gameplay Footage.

[@nathanjohnson2160]

When my dad let me play, I would always get as far as lobster. But the Masked Ninja is definitely the hardest.

[@antoniolavalleguerrero4871]

El juego más difícil ...que he jugado !!!! Es increíble

[@zetrader]

It reminds me of such good times ^^

[@JeriDro]

this game looks really fun

[@jaipii1285]

My GOD what a awesome nostalgic childhood game u played. Too bad i never finished this game with one COIN when i was a six year old till date. Most i achieved was lvl 5 stage.

[@highspace7157]

この頃のジョー・ムサシは黒の忍者服にノーマスクでしたね

[@PauloPupim]

16:56 Dude... I never managed to finish this stage, i hate those "flying" ninjas so much, I've never managed/memorized to know where the hell they were coming from or where they would go. So much frustration. I played this in master system III. You almost made me get an emulator and play this again. But i'd probably rage quit, even using thousands of save states.

[@Wesley_C]

Best Shinobi games classic of all time. :D

[@5HlNOBI]

Nice!

[@superviewer]

The first and best one ever. One day I'll make a propper sequel with animations as great as these.

[@TheRealest127]

Ahhhh......Childhood. 🙏🏾💯

[@Minotauro777]

35 years I finally see the end of this game..🤩🤩🤩

[@AhmadKhan-xl2eh]

The music is nostalgic

[@muhammaduddin9268]

Shame this game was not released on Mega Drive back then.

[@joshmartimez2235]

Classic game first played the "hidden" version of this hame on Sonic Ultimate Genesis collection for PS3.

[@fumaninjaknownoequal]

20,000 special bonus if you complete stage without firing, only punching and kicking

[@carlosfonteira]

The most relaxing gun sound effect ever. Also, I knew it, the bonus stage is totally impossible.

[@WillScarlet1991]

They're all possible.

[@carlosfonteira]

@@WillScarlet1991 I'll never admit that...!

[@Davidalfa69]

I finished it a couple times on medium difficulty.

[@coreyjackson9905]

I stole all my stepfathers quarters from his piggy bank and played at the laundry mat

[@celican2000]

you really did wrong

[@jeromeellis3116]

I'm bout to get this for my Nintendo switch

[@kumagayakouki]

何でスパイダーマッが、出てくるんですかねぇ・・・

[@armandoortiz9114]

I got to the last level but never able to finish it. One hit away.

[@Davidalfa69]

a goddamned hard game with a shameful poor ending sequence as reward for your countless years of frustrating playing. But still addictive. And those bone shuriken xD

[@ganirintiniano]

I train with that music

[@mauriziodaddio2076]

[@kenbrisby4825]

Anyone know why his mask is off in this game but not the others?

[@martingusieff9946]

In mission 1 ... 1-2 ... if you kill the 3 spiders with the sword and make them go up ... then you go back to the beginning ... it will go into slow motion

[@brettg82au]

0.21 evolves from a ninja to Chuck Norris

[@muhammaduddin9268]

Can you download this game on google play or App Store?

[@vothaar]

Keep practicing...

[@hal6889]

ローリングサンダー？

[@PlasmaBurns]

I used rent games at Block buster, beat them in a day then return the game saying it froze up and get a different one.

[@gillbertellis9023]

is that Marilyn Monroe in the thumbnail?

[@FUTURAGAEL]

Yes in the XBOX Live Arcade version is removed and the enemy of min 1:18 is modified her palettes because is most similar to Spiderman of Marvel license

[@micowoods9534]

Omg reminds me being a little boy asking for 10p so I could get to the bonus round I was the only one who could get the perfect bonus round and get the extra life I didn’t finish it sadly but got close as I only ever used to get a few goes

[@johncraftenworth7847]

Real Ninjas use guns!! hellz ya

[@jeffchan7]

The wall climbing enemies reminded me of Spider-Man.

[@Mike_11_16]

That's exactly what they were supposed to be. Sega had the licensing for Spider-man in the 1980s, and they took that as leave to go ahead and use Spider-Man for whatever they wanted. They barely tried to disguise it by changing around the colors. If you kill them with a shuriken or bullet while they are up on the wall, they even explode into a burst of web. Sega had to subsequently change that sprite in later re-releases of the game. The Xbox 360 version for example changed it to a green and yellow color scheme. They also had to remove the Marilyn Monroe posters in the beginning of level 1-2 as those were copyrighted images that they were using illegally.

[@LePopCollectibles]

What's with all the Marilyn Monroe posters in the background? It was 1987 right?

[@protegeleung]

great game with a bad ending

[@biliardopiccino]

io ero molto brava anni fa (....molti anni fa XD) a questo gioco....anche negli schemi più difficili, i finali sui pali, dove bisognava saltare e colpire all'istante giusto. Non sono mai riuscita a finirlo perchè il cabinato non permetteva di continuare una volta arrivati al boss finale (ci sono arrivata diverse volte).

[@saporob]

Che vergogna...
