Shinobi – Arcade Longplay – Completed 1CC – Sega

This is my one credit clear of Shinobi on the original Sega System 16 arcade hardware, and played on my Sega New Astro City candy cab.This is certainly not a no death playthrough, and I make several mistakes, but it’s still a one credit clear! Uses the default dip switch settings – 3 Lives, Normal Difficulty, Slow Bullets.

My favourite arcade game of all time. I remember playing it down my local leisure centre in the late 1980s, but never getting much further than mission 2. I’ve made it an ambition of mine in the last couple of years to 1CC it, and always hit a brick wall around missions 4 and 5, where the difficulty really ramps up, but since getting my Astro, I’ve been able to really practice hard, and eventually managed to do it. Although, it took me a lot longer to get a 1CC on camera, as I don’t cope very well with the pressure!
