                              LAST NINJA

This is not completely mine but I have added and corrected some things.  The 
Doctor. Some hints for the game: *Very important : save the game before you 
fight or cross the rivers!!! (It's like a little cheat, you can restart after 
you lost your life or power)  The Doctor's Hint on Fighting:  I am not good at 
things like this so I developed the following.  Enter a screen where there is 
to be combat.  Get in a telling blow without getting hurt and then back out.  
Save the game and then repeat until you kill the guy.  If it is a screen where 
the guy revives after you leave (yes, it happens alot) don't save it here but 
wait for a save screen.  I did it this way and won -- killed the master without 
doing this but I had little of my three lives left.

  Level 1: The Wastelands.  Get all the flashing objects. You don't have to 
kill all the enemies. However, you must pick things up in order.  You don't 
have to cross the rivers in this level, you will endup circling around. After 
you get the sword, numchucks (chained sticks on a dead body), smoke bomb, key, 
and a little bag. Then you go to the place where you found the smoke bomb. The 
color of the river is red (probably lava), jump to the upper right corner (you 
will be at another screen).   Then, you will find the apple (extra life, if you 
still have 3 lifes, you will get a total of 4 lifes. Also if you have low power 
status, press contrl-H to kill yourself (get the apple first), then you can get 
another apple)..Later on, you will find the ninja star (these is limited, save 
them)..When you get to the screen where you see a pink dragon, the only way to 
pass this screen is to throw one of your smoke bomb (you must throw the bomb to 
front of the dragon), then the dragon 
will fall to sleep, walk over and you have passed the first level.
 
Level 2: The Wilderness.  You have more things to get, I don't think that you 
can enter the house in the first screen of the 2nd level. Get the claw in that 
screen (it's very small, in front of the stone lion (right side)...) Later on 
you will find apples again. When you reach the screen with a tall cliff, you 
have to climb up the cliffs (with the claw, of course). When you get to the 
screen with a brick wall, climb down backward. don't forget to hold the claw.. 
(Do it on the right  side of the wall, the white part on the bottom of the wall 
is ok..).  Cross the river on the next screen.  In this area you find the glove 
and ninja magic which makes you flash.  Get the glove and then the magic.  
Hurry to recross the river, go up and cross the river again.  Hurry, fighting 
if you have to, and find the two stone dragons, the second one will fire at you 
but if you have ninja magic still working fast enough you can get by.  You have 
passed the 2nd level.. 

Level 3: The Gardens.  You will find another apple tree...get it..more 
life..yea! First you have to get a golden necklace on the budda's neck (where 
you have to cross the river through the rocks on the river)..this river has a 
blue dragon, don't pay any attention to it, it won't fire at you..After you get 
the thing, go back. Find the flower. Pick up with flower with your glove. Keep 
going ahead. when you see a small river (with no rocks), jump over the river 
(it took me few times to do so) Later on, you will find a golden Budda Statue, 
kneel in front of it with the golden necklace and you have passed level 3. 

Level 4: The Dungeon.  This is the fun part with nice graphics, don't even 
think about fighting the gaint spider, or killing the ghosts or mice (you don't 
have to kill them anyway).   (The easiest way to kill the skeletons is to kick 
them once) Again, find the apple and a rope. Walk around until you find a 
chamber with 2 rows of steel rings on the wall (like a ladder), kill the enemy 
and climb up with the rope. 

Level 5: The Palace.  Get the apple again (This is the last one).  On the same 
screen, use the key to enter the door.  You then want to go left.  In this 
screen, you can get by the guard without fighting and he will commit hari kari. 
Sort of neat.  You will then be in a room with a giant statue.  Save it here. 
Get next to the statue and slowy (clinging as closely as possible to the statue 
and facing up - toward the statue) work you way slowly around the statue.  The 
sword will eject and you will be safe.  (This part provided by Ed "Apple Guru 
Moore" - TSEMM@ALASKA) This next part is crucial in my opinion.  Proceed 
forward to the next screen and almost (not quite) kill the guy there.  Then go 
back to the statue screen and go up.  (Note if you save the game on the screen 
with the statue, you will have to get by the statue again).  In the upper 
screen, kill the guard and get the Ninja magic.  This is short lived and you 
have to move quickly.  Return to the screen where you almost killed the guy, 
finish him off and exit using the read stairs. If you do not have sufficient 
magic, you will die on the stairs. 

Level 6: The Inner Sanctum:  Warning:  there are no more apples.  This level 
starts as a hallway in which there are four rooms.  The fourth contains poison 
(needed later) and the third the passage to continue.  Each room has a guard 
outside and there is one in the third room.  Trying to figure it out, I found 
that the level is a wrap around.  Therefore the best way to go on (with the 
least amount of fighting) is to exit up the screen instead of down.  This puts 
you in front of the fourth door.  Kill the guard, then go get the poison.  Come 
back and kill the guard again, go to the third room (exit up), kill the guard, 
enter the room and kill the guard.  The exit the door way up and hold the 
flower.  Walk to the last big vase at the end of the room.  The flower will be 
put in the vase causing a secret passage to be revealed.  SAVE THE GAME.  The 
next part takes practice.  Hold the poison bottle and carry no weapon.  In the 
next room, you see a grey dog, walk slowly and when the dog wakes up, throw the 
posion bottle.  You must throw it right in front of the dog. Then you enter 
another room with a giant statue with a big arrow . In the upper side of the 
corridor where you enter, there is some red (blood?) on the carpet.  This is 
concealing some ninja magic.  Get it and you are by.  Don't save it now, wait 
for the next screen.  There is one guy to kill and then the master.  He is 
tough (wearing armour) but beatable.  Then you are in the last screen; save 
your game. Put away any weapon.  There are two squares - you must jump and land 
inside the smaller.  Then take the scroll and watch the ending. .
