Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom is an action-platformer that was ported to the Atari Lynx in 1993.
+ Background flourishes and music work together in spectacular fashion to evoke a sinister atmosphere that draws you in.
+ New ability of grabbing ledges makes for some nimble platforming, especially in Stage 2-2's memorable auto-scrolling area.
+ Ryu's attack range has been significantly increased, and there's also a notable reduction in respawning enemies.
+ Opening cinematic is incredibly engaging and invests you in the intriguing narrative through a shocking early plot twist.
- Checkpoints are punishingly spread out, and the strict time limit in each level gives you little room to strategise.
- Unlike the previous two games, there's no unlimited continues and enemies can quickly take chunks off your life bar.
