Legend of Kage is challenging and so addicting you'll keep coming back to beat your high score. Give it a try and you'll see why so many kids spent countless hours playing this back in the day.

Von "The Legend of Kage" gibt es auch einige Konvertierungen für Heimsysteme, von denen mir die C-64- und die NES-Version bekannt sind. Beide unterscheiden sich natürlich am meisten in den technischen Aspekten von der Arcade-Version. Die C-64-Version ist extrem grobpixelig und weist eine relativ zögerliche Steuerung auf, wofür ich ihr noch einen Punkt in der Wertung abziehen muss. Aber dafür wartet sie mit dem wohl am besten klingenden Kage-Song auf, der wie ein Shuriken sofort in die Gehörgänge fliegt. =) Dadurch übt das Spiel doch einen gewissen Reiz aus. Die NES-Konvertierung sieht grafisch ebenso mager aus, die Animationen wirken aber am flüssigsten. Das Design ist dagegen etwas kindgerechter ausgefallen, was allerdings nicht negativ auffällt.

The Legend of Kage starts out like reading a page from the Videogame Plot Handbook. You are Kage, a fearsome ninja, and a group of evil ninjas captures your girlfriend. You must fight to rescue her. Whoa... look out, I smell movie rights. It's a lame excuse for some martial arts action, and this is in no way a deep game anyway.
