In childhood, this game was my favorite among NES games. Published by Konami in 1993, its story is based on comics series created by Steve Stern and Dan Cote in 1987.
The story is quite unusual and interesting – Zen, the native of the planet Baltoon was raised as the part of genetic experiment, which was considered as failure. Young Zen was doomed for elimination, but he was saved by one of the scientist, who fired transport capsule with infant into the space. Zen landed in the Om system, where he was found by mysterious Masters of Om, who raised him and trained in martial arts. Later he captured the attention of the Gordons, an ancient high-intelligent alien race, who made him some kind of Intergalactic hero.
Now, in Zen: Intergalactic Ninja your mission is to save the planet Earth from Lord Contaminous and his toxic team before they destroy the ecosystem of entire planet. His army’s mission is to trash biosphere and destroy Earthlings. Your mission is to stop all this, destroy Lord Contaminous and save Jeremy – an Earth boy who accidentally discovered the Geocrystal, a gem with the power to save the world.
The game has got quality graphic and beautiful music written by four musicians. From the very begging you feel original Konami’s style and quality in everything.
During the playing you will pass through 4 missions (North America, Southern America, Siberia and Scandinavia) divided into 12 levels, some hidden stages, mini games and destroy Lord Contaminous of course! There’s three types of gameplay areas: isometric, side-scrolled and mind cart.
What more? Nothing, except the fact that Zen: Intergalactic Ninja is a must-have game for all NES and Konami fans!
