"Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos" was released by TECMO in 1990 for an 8-bit home console. In this side-scrolling action game, the Dragon Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, fights with his katana and ninjutsu to stop the resurrection of an evil god. The title gained worldwide popularity for the thrill of conquering demanding stages with ninja actions, combined with cinematic "Tecmo Theater" cutscenes that look just like a movie.
