7 million copies sold on a system that was rampant with piracy (Commodore 64) is beyond impressive! 🕹
Yes, with 7 million sold, there probably was at least 5 million pirated copies running in the wild.
My dad brought hundreds of game disks and the system with C64 monitor when I was a kid and I now know they were all pirate copies. Imagine giving a kid sex games I broke at least one controller trying to climax 😂😂
Yeah.
I still have a box full of disks and tapes.
I only had 2 original games though.
It's so cool that System 3 has a kickstarter for Last Ninja now so I can send some well deserved moolah their way.
I didn't have money to buy games back in the day so I like to give back when/where I can now. 😊
I became obsessed with this game in elementary school, free day was on Fridays and I awaited each and every time I got to boot up this classic.
Boot up 😂. I’m guessing you had the luxury of a disk. Most of us had to wait for the tape to load in for a few minutes (assuming there were no crashes mid load)
surely u couldn’t actually play it. i absolutely struggled was too young to work out the pixel perfect rubbish.
"ask someone to tell you what the most iconic video game for the comodore 64 is and is pretty damn likely he will tell you the fuck is a comodore 64?"
😂
One of my Top 5 C64 games of all time. As a 10yo playground pirate Down Under🇦🇺, I have backed the Kickstarter as repentence for my sins and o get that sweet, sweet Switch physical. 😊
Amazing video...I have great memories of playing this game with my friend in the late '80s. Ninjas and karate were so popular at the time, the 1980s ruled! A great amount of info and research that you did here, cheers to you Sir.
the channel with the most racist name on UA-cam uses an asians eyes on the thumbnail?
Back in the late 80s last ninja 2 was a c64 show piece to wow friends.
Hey man thank you so much for bringing this video out while the kickstarter is going. I kept seeing the ad, but knowing I didn't grow up with it, I was all whatever, but this video really showcases something special that I may never have looked into otherwise! Thanks again, might have to back the Kickstarter now... 😅
Jumping across water was so annoying. Classic C64 game though.
The artwork for the second game was on the back of one of my dad's Acorn Electron mags and it has stayed with me forever!
This jog down memory lane now has me remembering a favorite amiga game with an amazing soundtrack and a suspiciously derivative name - FIRST SAMURAI .
It smash the kickstater goal at 159,000 so far hopefully this is a chance for a sequel.
Everyone knows that Sho 'Nuff, The Shogun of Harlem was the master! Excellent video, as always!
I remember spending many hours of my youth on these games on my c64, those were the good old days for sure. I always wondered whatever happened to them and if they were ever going to make more. I always thought of the Ninja Gaiden series as sort of a spiritual successor to The Last Ninja series. Great video, thanks!
I remember the first game and it being a nightmare to play. Glad I was right when I thought that the movements were harder than they should be.
This game would explode today if it was remade by a company that respects the IP and given better control ability. Exploration was fine.
Serious tip of the hat for bringing up The Last Dragon! A bloody classic
It's both cool and weird as a retro gamer to get a video of "iconic" game I've never played beyond 1-2 screens of the nes port where I didn't know what to do in.
I sure didn't know this game had ever any success.
Probably time to give it another try.
wow i just realized at 18:51 that the Revenge of the Ninja movie cover is exactly the same as the ZX Spectrum Saboteur loading screen! The more you live the more you know, i guess
when will you realise a channel named slopes gaming uses an asians eyes on the thumbnail?
i remember renting this for the nes a couple times as a kid. i never got too far but it was fun to explore the world and try to figure out how to proceed.
Oh man, thanks for this vid, Slope!:)
I grew up on the LN games. It's the series that made me fall in deeply in love with games and wanted to make them in the future - a dream that, perhaps thankfully (seeing how the business operates), never came to fruition.
LN2 also made me fall in love with metal music. My original C64 was a NTSC model, so everything run a bit faster, including the music. When i heard the tunes from LN2 i always heard them as "guitar tracks". Later on, when i heard speed and thrash metal i thought "hey, it's just like The Office level music", this is so cool. So yeah, i heard metal in a SID version of Tangerine Dream's "Midnight in Tula". But after hearing FastLoaders i guess i wasn't the only one. Thank You, mr. Gray!;)
As for the Kickstarter, i was really pumped when i first heard about it, but when it launched i've realized that they're missing the main ingredient - a boxed re-release of the original games for the C64, disks and/or cartidges, the balaclava and the rubber shuriken. The PC version seems kinda redundant, since Vice is around.
I'm also British, but I got into the Ninja Turtles a couple of years before the cartoon via the Tabletop RPG and the comics.
Dude, this was definitely a fave back in the day. Love that you’re covering this.
A remake of those games in one collection sounds good to old me.
Very nice ad interesting video, but I’m afraid to point out that the original Commodore 64 of “Ninja 3” version was programmed by Stanley Schembri, who coded “Barbarian”, “Antiriad” and “Cauldron II” for Palace Software and then “Vendetta” for System 3 in 1990 (which has a very similar structure to the Ninja games, with driving sections coded by another C64 legend: Chris Butler); at that time I saw an interview to Zzap!64 where Stan said he was coding the game on a PC with the PDS System connected to a C64. Sadly Stan has passed away in 2009 😞
Pretty sure Chris Butler had nothing to do with Vendetta.
And yeah, missing Stan is really shoddy. Also, Dokk had nothing to do with the c64 intro, that was all Robin Levy
There are a lot of inaccuracies in the video 😐
I remember playing the second game on the Famicom/NES and me and my brothers could never beats way back, we reached the ghost ninja ( turns out it's the last boss from what I learn few years ago )
but I had no idea that they were making a fourth game on the ps4 until now.
Great video! I am a lifelong fan of the franchise and a Diamond subscriber for the Kickstarter project. I was alerted to your video via the project itself, and really enjoyed it. I will be looking forward to future videoed, LN related or otherwise!
The Last Dragon is always relevant to every conversation. I actually just got a 4K copy of it a few days ago coincidently.
WOW, I Thought I was the only person who loves The Last Dragon, I still watch it at least twice a year since my dad bought it on VHS in the mid 90's.
Hell yeah The Last Dragon
Who’s the MAAASTTTA??! SHONUFF
Bruce leerooaaayh
I remember early preview screenshots of the first game showing a 'food' meter. I imagine a game as hard as this having survival elements too would have broken me :)
AVGN showed me this game xd
its a very great interview. thank you for so much effort to create that.... i hope system 3 and Mark Cale brings future games with lots of riddles to solve... maybe a Tusker2 or another Last Ninja and and and
That Shonuff guy looks awful familiar…
Seriously though- I friggin LOVE Last Dragon 😂
Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon is awesome fun! Nice reference!
I have the bell rung and this is the first video I’ve seen in months from you! Why?!
Oh excellent I am here for this. The intro to LN3 is epic.
Ninja by Eric Van Lustbader was one of my favorite books in my teens.
that's hella cool you collab'ed with them. UA-cam randomly suggested System3's newly-created channel to me a few days ago and the timing of this one seemed a tad suspicious :D
That concept art for Last Ninja 4 😮
Obviously my favourite game of all time…just take a look at my handle and profile picture! So many great memories playing this game, even till this day. Thanks a million for this great video.
This was Ninja Garden hard even before it even existed
0:46 Patrick Stewart was a bad f-in Ninja
The last ninja died in 1964, his name was Seiko Fujita, Koganomono.
We need more ninja games. Maybe one day like a dragon spin off ninja game. Rgg studios could do wonders for the ninja style games.
You forgot about the last ninja IV attempt for the C64.
25:20 surely the involvement of Philips soured the deal on this after the Nintendo backstabbing?
Gorgeous looking game, incredible music and atmosphere. Pity its horrible to control, especially those isometric jumps. However, can't help but love it
Shonuff! I can't hear you! Shonuff! 😂
Great video Slope! As someone who is just now getting into Commodore 64 via MiSTer FPGA, I'd love to see more from that platform. If anyone has game recommendations, please drop a reply!
Awesome job! But no mention of Vendetta..??
The Commodore jingle has a Jesus is my friend vibe
rock-hard game, never completed it. put my joystick through the wall though.
Surely the word exaggerated is enough, over exaggerated suggests insanity, right?
Hell yeah Tetris Movie
This story needs a Silicon Valley style series
Sho-nufff!!!!!!! Omg that takes me back slope!!!!!! 😂🫶🏿👊🏿
Remember it, think we owned it but don't remember it with any particular fondness, at least from it's punishing pixel perfect game play
Dude yes slope uploaded thx u!!!
I played the NES port of Last Ninja and had a hard time with it.
So they made a more accurate story than Ubisoft
Considering the absolute trash that was allowed on the PS2 I'm surprised to hear any games were rejected, let alone one that looks as good as that Last Ninja prototype.
Wait ... So in the UK was this game known as "The Last Hero"?
we want a LAST NINJA 4....
this game can go to hell. it looked so cool but i was way too young to understand why i couldn’t land on a boat or rocks etc. if i met the devs and sort them out what they did to me at such a young age.
Bruce Leroy catching bullets with his teeth?
I LOVE THE LAST DRAGON!
Oh man, that's nostalgic. Never liked the game, as mechanically it had too many things that were an instant NO from me, but these games were innovational as all hell.
Weird how you mention the amazing music but play none of it.
I know it's nowt to do with you but do you have any odea what's happened to Larry Bundy?
I'm the Master
22:07 Mev
I AM THE MASTER
Cool!
Sho' Nuff!
I don't know what kind of British you are, but I've heard it before, but less than the other dialects.
Fun games, but they were absolute garbage when it came to the platforming.
The soundtrack to Ninja 2 brings back so many happy memories! I played that game to death as a kid, as I probably did for all System 3 games
Great to actually meet you (if only briefly) today at Play. ❤. Hope you had a good afternoon and if you’re there again tomorrow have fun!
