Ninja Remix

The Last Ninja is a series of video games published by System 3. The first game in the series, titled The Last Ninja, was released in 1987 for the Commodore 64 and was one of the most successful games for the system. Confusingly, the 16-bit versions of the original The Last Ninja game were also released in 1990 as Ninja Remix.

Plot: The protagonist of The Last Ninja series is Armakuni, the sole survivor of a ninjutsu clan that was destroyed by an evil shogun named Kunitoki.

Each game is divided into a number of self-contained locations, with the original game containing six such ‘levels’. Each level is loaded separately, in sequence as the game progresses. Game over takes the player back to the start of the current level. Each location was presented as a map of static isometric screens, with the player’s character restricted to predefined paths (the scenery was inaccessible).
