the c64 version is just epic especially the music and noone really cared about the missing soundeffects back then...but when i listen to the other versions with effects i get just earcancer and my dog barks at me all the time 😂👌

The music in the C64, MY GOD!!! I played hours and hours this game and never get passed some point. It was simply amazing!

WAIT, there was an ARCHIMEDES PORT?! Dang, it flew right past me as a kid. So many BBC Micro and Electron games had RiscOS remakes or sequels, but a remake with a BOPPING soundtrack that uses samples also featured in Zool and Lotus II is WILD! Now I've learned of yet another classic on the platform I grew up with.

I think that Commodore 64 have the best version, it's amazing to see how well animated the ninja is

What Commodore was able to deliver in sounds was just so incredible and ahead of anyone else; have to admit I hardly ever tried any version outside of C64, though I also played it on Amiga; the Atari ST looks pretty good too, might fire that up on my day off :)

Just remembered there was supposed to be a 3D version of Last Ninja coming out for the OG Xbox but it got cancelled which was a shame as I was really looking forward to it, there were even a couple of screenshots shown in computer magazines in the day one showing a massive spider.

Still can't believe the C64 sounds so much better than everything else, best version by far.

I never knew this ported to the Archimedes...which looks great but seems off a little bit. The C64 is just the definitive version, it's just brilliant along with the soundtrack, that SID rendition just cannot be beat 👍

The source of all versions is the C64 version. Nice graphics and a super sound. The Atari ST is very impressive. The music sounds better than the Amiga version.

RIP Mr. Daglish! This Lees and Daglish soundtrack will be forever etched upon my mind. Especially the dungeon music! :)

The music of the C64 is a master piece.

Actually. The c64 is by far the best. The music is EVERYTHING as with other legendary c64 games. You will notice as the graphics improved and with the sound effects it became very rigid, flat, and robotic. But the c64 version allows your imagination to guide the way and create the story. The imagery is less important. Generally life is this way. Sound and tactile feedback is emotion. Visuals are generally secondary and always fleeting anyways .

I played the C64 version a lot so that's my reference. The Amiga version looks crisp and runs fast, it's soundtrack is a very nice sample based rendition of the theme.

The guy who designed the SID sound chip in the C64, designed the music chip in the Apple IIGS. The one in the IIGS was the one he wanted to make in the Commodore, but he ran out of time. The IIGS had really good sound. It is heartbreaking the IIGS didn’t get the music. It would have been incredible.

It's not even competition. The only good version is the original C64 version. Just alone the soundtrack is absolutely epic and legendary.

A magical game. Thank you for the upload!

C64 and SID = OMG!!!

Brilliant video. Perfect production values, love it

C64 version because it was perfect, then the Amiga version because it at least got the music right and the visuals weren't to bad. Honorable mention is the Archimedes because of the graphics but the sound effects and music was really bad.

I attended school with Peter Scott. Great job mate.

I played PCjr CGA version in late 80s a lot!! What nostalgia, good memories comes back again!

I was surprised at how mediocre the Apple II GS version was. No in-game music?

C64 absolute classic

Nice game that I played on Atari ST at the time. Still I prefered the Last ninja 2 I had on Zx. Would you please do a video on the sequel, it was very interseting with the modern new york setting.

The C64 version is the first one I ever played, so I have huge nostalgia for it, but the Amiga version is also pretty good, and the Atari ST version isn't bad either. I don't care for the Archimedes version at all, and the rest are just terrible for one reason or another.

What did the kids who got Acorn do to get punished by such computer?

Eu amo retrosutra e bom demais! Amei!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Amiga, c64 and Zx, were the best versions…

I love it on the C64 and not bad on the Amiga and ST. I've never seen the Acorn Archimedes version. Looks quite good. Funny how they just put one rock in the water to jump rather than the tricky mass in the others. And the Buddha has boobs!

C64 one is epic!

I really need to do some Archemides research. A system I paid no attention to back in the day had more games released than I thought.

Was es alles an Computern gab, was Schleimie so gar nicht wusste! 😮

YES YES YES YES

C64 classic, for me!

Amiga version is the best.

acorn is a good surprise

I will never understand why almost all CGA games always used the magenta-cyan-white-black palette. CGA had an alternative palette, whose colors where green-red-yellow-black, exactly the same palette as was used for the BBC Micro and the Acorn Electron in this video. Why didn't they just stick with that palette, when it's already in use by two other platforms? Wouldn't it have made more sense to have green grass and red rocks? Actually there were two more palettes, as both of these palettes existed in a dark variation as well (cyan and magenta as well as green and red would both just be slightly darker, but instead of white the darker variant has gray and instead of yellow the darker variant has brown). Also you could switch those palettes at any time, so every screen could have used a different palette as well. And using mode 5 (same resolution as mode 4 used by most game), you get two more palettes, this time either cyan-red-white-black or a darker variant with gray again (yes, cyan+red, not cyan+magenta, true red). So CGA had 6 palettes to choose from in 320x200 resolution, yet almost all CGA games used exactly one of them and the most ugly one IMHO. Using a trick, you could even display 16 colors in CGA but then the resolution would only be 160x100 pixels, pretty much useless for most games. And CGA could also display black & white graphics with 640x200 resolution. CGA was far less limited than it appears in most games or what people believe. And when connected to a TV via composite out, which many CGA cards also supported, as it was expected that people would rather hook their computer to an inexpensive TV than to an expensive monitor at that time, you could even get more colors by using another trick. With composite out, certain patters would result in mixed colors on TV (cross color artifacts), allowing for 16 colors with 640x200 resolution (one palette available) or 16 colors with 320x200 (two different palettes available) and when combining this trick with the 160x100 trick, you can display up to 1024 different colors at the same time on the screen. And yes, there are a few games that really used those tricks and when you see their graphics, you would not believe that this is actually CGA! But with most games just using the super ugly cyan-magenta palette, I can totally understand why most people though, that CGA just sucked. And this game is another example for that.

You forgot the NES version, but otherwise a great video as always Edit: I stand corrected, that was the second game that was ported to the NES, I salute you, Retrosutra

Its crazy that Amiga was top computer at the end of 80s and early 90s and PC just became superior so fast and Amiga died in 1992 or so.

Apple II GS version looks and sounds quite nice, though having the same thumping hit sound for katana as for unarmed combat sounds a bit out of place...

I'm surprised the Tandy music was so poor and was no different than the one voice DOS version

Several months has been passed and there's no space invaders clones or galaxian comparison, What a bummer!

There is also an Atari 800 version, it was released more than 3 weeks ago (meaning prior to this video). Any reason why it was excluded?

Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And love retro games !

Have you done Xevious (1982) by any chance?

msdos intro gave tinnitus

Respect!

The sound effects of the archimedes port remind me of the arcade game Vigilante

Noted, the Apple II graphics must be the best on the machine

Acorn Archimedes

En la epoca pense que era exclusivo de C64, despues a mediados o finales de los 90 encontre la versión de Atari ST, y ahora me encuentro con esto XDXDXD

Still the Amiga!

there’s a amateur game of Dominga virains❤😂😅

c64:8-bit classic. Electron, BBC: pleasant surprise, not half as bad as i thought it would be. Amiga, ST: graphics is 2 steps above all mediocre 16-bitters (IIgs, EGA,Tandy). Archimedes: disappoints a bit, i dont think its using anything close to 256 colours, which is available on the system.

C64 every day. The Apple II GS is better but at 8-10x the cost no thanks. Daym I miss my C64.

Hermoso juego , falto la NES ...

hm didn`t know that there is a dos version but its just looks and sounds crappy to me, stone age EGA graphics and pc speaker sound is just a recipe for a disaster apparently 😂.the tandy version is also hard to withstand longer than 10 seconds before you get headache from it..

The Archimedes version of Last Ninja didnt get the "last" part of the title

yep...⛩⛩

Hola!! La música de la intro, es tuya, es de algún banco de música...?

oh ??? where is the amstrad cpc version , i play it a lot , and love this version !

Yet again no Master System or SEGA Genesis version I don't know why?

C64 version !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Archie version is really weird. All the sound effects and the movement feel really cartoonish. There’s no atmosphere. Probably fun to play though. C64 wins out for the music. ST comes second. (Amiga always sounds out of tune to me these days.) Good work by the Electron folks, though. Not easy squeezing this game into that machine.

And Nes?

I've tried to like Last Ninja games many times, but it's so clunky and the fights are so stupid that I can not play it for more than 15 mins. Apple II GS is the best for me, just because I love the screams, the second best is C64, AWESOME.

Forgot time stamps

so commodore rules then?

Where is the NES version?

25:39 Why does he sound like that when he gets punched in the face?

What on earth is going on with the Archimedes port? That is really bad.. Ninjas at a disco more like. C64 version beats all of them by the look of it.

"More like the worst ninja"

Holy s#|t, THAT music on Amiga

So, it's C64, Amiga, ST in that order - the Archimedes looks horrible.

Version amazing think little just video arcade me had please on prefered the super last still game l do world.

Where's the NES version

if the Amiga version is based on or a lazy update of the 8-bit version then converted to the ST it is crap if the ST version is based on or a lazy update of the 8-bit version then converted to the Amiga it is shit

The Amiga version is decent, the rest sucks. Beside the C64 one ofc.

ey , con esta saga te mueres en conversiones, se hicieron todas menos arcade XD, ACORN la version barata de BBC luce igual, salvo mas lento y sonido menos estridente, la version de appleII se lo tomaron muy en serio, las voces digitalizadas y la alta resolución, flipantes. Luego llegan Amiga y atari y se mean en todas las demás, la version del acorn archimedes de donde la sacaste? Xd, 5 años después aunque graficamente luce bien, las animaciones del tito benny hill no las representan. ANECDOTAS: Vendieron 2Millones de copias en todo el mundo y es considerado uno de los top 20 en comoodore, el juego la verdad luce fantástico, el sistema de peleas de piedra/papel /tijeras, podría mejorar. Las versiones de spectrum y amstrad, estaban casi terminadas, hay anuncios y capturas de pantalla del juego, pero nunca se terminó y no se lanzó, se termino en ATARI, y tampoco se lanzó, así que aprovechando el remix lanzaron los 2, por eso en amiga y atari se ven iguales, suele pasar. TOP. 1. Commodore 2. Atari / AMIGA 3. PC EGA

Am I the only person that thinks this game is massively overrated? Never got the attraction music was good but it was clunky as hell

Yo when will you do commando/senjou no okami instead of these games that no one has ever heard of

Great graphics. Great soundtrack. Horrible game. One of those always on best-of lists. But the gameplay sucks. Button mashing crap conrtols.

In the top 10 most overrated 8 and 16 bit games of all time, specifically the 8 bit C64 version. So, it's pretty. But it PLAYS LIKE SHIT! Always did. Awful game.
