About this game

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, 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.

The game is set during Japan's Edo period, in about the year 1630, in a province called Ohkami in the western region, where the power has been seized by an evil tyrant named Gyokuro. The goal is to end his oppressive rule and restore peace.
