The immensely popular Japanese series Goemon received it's first release in the Western world with Legend Of The Mystical Ninja - an amalgamation of sorts, comprising platformer, beat-em-up and RPG elements into one.

The oriental music received rave reviews and the whole package is strangely addictive - increasing the strength of your characters weapons and beating enemies down are key hooks to this game.

Despite being relatively smaller than many SNES titles, Legend Of The Mystical Ninja continues to pop up on various 'Best Of' lists for the console - it's well worth a play.
