Who knows the actual title of this game?

And furthermore, who created/released it?

Dexter or Falcon (no typo)?

Johnny look around. But no find!

None of those, actually!

Some of 'em look nice as well, though!

Can you post a screenshot of the game you do mean, then?

Can't post a screenshot, dude...
That'd mean I still have the game, and the problem is... I haven't!

Here's a more thorough description...

This game is known by us 'Western people' as either "Ninja Dexter" or "Ninja Attack".

However, the actual title looks like some extremely complicated barfed-up-spaghetti Kanji.

It's an MSX 2 game, think it's from 1989...

The game allows you to choose between 3 fighters.
Each one has a different special power.
When you die, you get to select another.

The perspective is from the side.
It doesn't scroll horizontally, but vertically when you jump.

You kill all kinds of very spooky enemies with a sword.

It has the BIGGEST (!!!) sprites I've ever seen in an MSX game, but it appears to be programmed in a jiffy.
Why? Because there's never more than 2 enemies in each screen, and there are no obstacles or platforms.

This game has some absolutely tremendous, fascinating PSG music as well!!!

Ring a bell? This game is sooooo cool, and one of the first I've ever beaten!

There is your game:

Is it Youma Korin? The one where you choose beetween 3 guys to play (a ninja, a samurai and... someone else?)

Ninja Dexter was a wrong name (very common here in Brazil) for that game... it was called like that because the player was a Ninja, and the initial logo (the developer logo!) was "Dexter"...

damn! those guys beat me to it...!

For those who doesnt know this game, it is actually a pretty good one

Yes, that's it!!!

Thank you guys!

Maybe this isn't such a well-known game at all...

This one has been entered just now...?

Couldn't find it earlier while searching on "Nippon Dexter"; only the game Druid was there...

[edit]

Sorry, the quotation with "So:" followed by the url seemed to mess with the page-layout...

No, it wasn't entered just now, it has been there for a long time. But the point is that there is no reference to "Ninja Dexter". YOu could have searched for games made by Nippon Dexter, though: like this.

Very handy. Good to know!

Yes, what's he anyway?

I remember he was the slowest of the three and could destroy enemies without touching them.

Judging from the pic in my next posts, the guy's a magician! Makes sense!

OMG! Here's the story translated, but unfortunately I can only understand about 50% of it...

publicado por Nippon Dexter en 1989, convertido por Falconte

Does "convertido por" either mean "converted by" or "created by"?

[edit]

Whoa!

Fighter, Wizard, Ninja...
