Back in the mid-80s, when arcades were king and console graphics were a dazzling mosaic of pixels, Taito unleashed a side-scrolling action game that was both brutally difficult and undeniably stylish: The Legend of Kage.

This wasn't just another platformer; it was a ninja simulator... well, as much of a ninja simulator as 8-bit graphics could allow. You take on the role of Kage, a young Iga ninja tasked with rescuing Princess Kiri from the clutches of the evil Yoshi and his band of rogue samurai and ninja thugs.

The Legend of Kage became a classic for its sheer difficulty and addictive gameplay. It's a test of reflexes, strategy, and patience. So, dust off your reflexes, sharpen your shurikens, and get ready to enter the legend! It's a challenging but unforgettable journey.
