Ninja Gaiden is a ninja-themed platform action game developed and published by Tecmo for the NES on 1988-12-09 and later ported to the PC Engine. It is the second game in the Ninja Gaiden series released only a couple months after the arcade game.
In the game, you play as Ryu Hayabusa, a ninja who is trying to figure out why his father was killed in a duel, but quickly becomes involved in a plot where a man man is trying to revive a demon. The game is known for using large cinematics between action sequences to tell a story, something that was uncommon for the time. The game was unofficially novelized.

Personal
I remember watching my brother and step-brothers playing this game around 1990, I think my brother was borrowing it from a friend. I thought it looked really cool, but I don't think they ever let me play it. I remember them getting to the boss of act 2, but never beating him. A couple years later, a friend of mine had the game, and I played it a little bit, but found it to be too hard. I tried it a couple other times in emulators, but never had the patience for it. After seeing people get further in the game, and seeing how insanely difficult the game becomes in the later levels, I have little desire to punish myself enough to try and beat it.
Status
I don't own this game, and I haven't beaten it.
