The Last Ninja series from the late 1980s is considered a classic for retro gamers. The graphics were wow and the playability even better. The box for the first sequel even contained a plastic shuriken throwing star and ninja hood! My father shared an office with the developer who was only in his early 20s but insanely successful. The royalties from this series alone earned that guy two new Ferraris - they really impressed me when I was eight.

My favourite aspect is the music. The Commodore 64 music sounds like a cross between Add N To X and a John Carpenter film - only better!
