_________________________

This six-level action game was converted from a Data East coin-op. The gameplay involving beating a succession of guys to complete the level, then an end-of-level bad guy. The action takes place on two different levels of the screen, which can be jumped across or navigated using ladders. Moves such as punches and kicks are on offer. The control method makes jumping sideways quite tricky.

Trivia

The NES port of the game changed "President Ronnie" to simply "the President," possibly due to Nintendo's censorship protocol which restricted political content. 

The guy that does the two sentence mission looks an awful lot like Duke Nukem doesn't he?
The first boss is actually Karnov, who was one of Data East's most popular characters.

Description from the packaging  (US) :

The #1 smash arcade hit!
The forces of good have never been so bad!

Kidnapped! the headlines scream. The nation is paralyzed in shock. Is it possible? The President kidnapped? Without a moment's hesitation you know who's responsible- the Dragon Ninja. As Blade of Striker, a.k.a. The Bad Dudes you take to the streets to rescue the President from his clutches.

But the Dragon Ninja is ready for you. He sends wave after wave of relentless ninjas, vicious dogs, and enemies to stop you. Armed with knives, shurikens and numchucks you must fight tooth and nail- in alleys, on waterways, even on moving semi-trucks.

And don't think that once you've wiped out and advancing Ninja horde you're safe. The Dragon Ninja has surprises up his sleeve. When you least expect it, you will find yourself face to face with any number of super monsters, and if you think you're bad... they're really bad!

In the end... if you're bad enough...you take on the Dragon Ninja himself. You must defeat him and snatch the President from the helicopter that's about to whisk him away to who-knows-where. It'll take every skill you've ever mastered- and a few new ones to be bad!
