Sega Ninja, originally released as Ninja Princess in Japan, is a 1985 run and gun video game developed and published by Sega for arcades. The player controls Princess Kurumi (くるみ姫 Kurumi-Hime), the titular female ninja, who battles enemies using throwing knives and shurikens. In contrast to most later games in the genre, Ninja Princess has a feudal Japan setting with a female ninja protagonist.

A revised edition for the Mark III console, titled Ninja Princess 1 Mega Ban - Ninja (忍者プリンセス1メガ版 忍者), was released in 1986, replacing the female protagonist with a male ninja protagonist who has to rescue her. This version was later released as The Ninja for the Master System internationally.

Controls

This is a PC game: it uses the keyboard the way it did under MS-DOS, and the mouse where the game supports it. Click the game screen first so it gets your key presses.

Many DOS games start with a menu or ask a question first — read the screen and answer with the keyboard. Arrow keys, Enter, Space, Ctrl and Alt are the usual game keys.
