Wrath of the Black Manta (NES)

Ancient replay.
I feel this game is underrated/underappreciated.

You play as Black Manta and have to go around the world rescuing children from the criminal organization known as DRAT (Drug Runners And Terrorists)

You can toss shurikens and use a short sword up close to enemies similar to Shinobi.
You have Ninpo Arts at your disposal and are used when you hold B for a few seconds and release the button while holding a corresponding direction on the D-Pad. You earn more Ninpo Arts when you complete a level. You can also switch between different Ninpo Arts at any time.
A neat thing you can do is interrogate certain enemies (they are colored red) to get more information and know more about the game's plot.
The Art of Invisibility is the most busted Ninpo Art in the game. You can pass through most things with it.

The only hard part about the game is the final boss. You have to use 4 different Ninpo Arts to defeat him but once you know what Arts to use it's not bad.

I recently learned the Japanese version of this game is very different.
Ninja Cop Saizou has an extra level, different graphics, different bosses and even a different soundtrack. I'll be sure to check it out soon.

The Amazing Spider-Man (Game Boy)

Mary Jane has been kidnapped and Spider-Man has to go rescue her.
The following rogue gallery of villains you face off against
---
Mysterio
Hobgoblin
Scorpion
Rhino
Dr. Octopus
Venom (he looks a little ridiculous in the cutscene)


The cutscenes where Spider-Man speaks to the villains via walkie talkie are amusing.
The title screen theme has a nice rendition of the Spider-Man TV Theme from the 60's composed by David Wise.
Game is a side-scroller with some wall crawling segments to mix up the action.
The bosses are all pretty easy once you know what to do against them.
While the game is not one of the worst, it's not too bad once you know how to operate it.

Feels good to finally beat a game you played as a kid and can finally put it behind you.
