Konami decided to photocopy Shinobi and made the protagonist a spaceman, disarming bombs and killing everyone he sees. Unfortunately, unlike Rolling Thunder and like Konami's own Contra, that spacesuit means nothing when it comes to protection, as getting touched by an enemy equals death. Also, no continues on the final stage, which includes a stressful platforming stage and a cheap final boss that can decide, nah, I'm just going to block your shots randomly.

There's a few unique things about this game; the game tells you "U Did It" whenever a bomb is picked up, the player is called a "High_Speed Dude" if they complete the level quickly, and, most unique of all, the bonus rounds are quiz games that test your knowledge of space and sci-fi movies with two babes that will blow you a million kisses if you get every question right. That alone is worth a credit or two, even if there aren't that many questions. If one likes the original Shinobi and Shadow Dancer, this is more of it.
