1988 action platformer with martial-arts combat
The briefing
Bionic Ninja puts you in control of an android trained in the Oriental disciplines, sent to defend the Icarus Earth Defence Base from an alien invasion.
Fight or evade enemies across five levels using martial arts, shurikens, and swords. You can switch between three attack options at any time. Damage reduces your power bar; when it is depleted, you lose one of five lives, while extra power can be collected during play.
Each level is divided into two sections, and every section must be completed within a time limit. The game was released in 1988 for Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Commodore C64/128/MAX, and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
