         Revenge of Shinobi is actually one of the easier Shinobi games.   
   The SMS game is probably the most difficult, followed closely by the   
   TG16 and Arcade versions.  Some of the later levels of the arcade   
   original are just plain brutal.  Revenge of Shinobi at least has the   
   energy bar and MIJIN to get out of a pinch.  I've beaten Revenge of   
   Shinobi, Shadow Dancer and Shinobi III numerous times on the hardest   
   setting with zero shuriken, you just need to learn how to play with the   
   close attacks and they all become relatively easy.  These are probably   
   the closest thing to being my favorite games out there.
