I bought all 3 of the LN games when they came out originally for the C64, the best of the bunch in my opinion is LN2. When it was released here in the UK in 1988 it shipped with a pullover cloth ninja mask and a rubber Shuriken! Being the silly sort of teenagers me and my mates were, we donned are masks and shuriken stars and went for a walk round town. We thought it was funny, needless to say the police didn't!!
I disagree with the opening comment in the review however, that LN was the best C64 game. That would be doing a dis-service to such classics as Ballblazer,The Eidolon, Mecenary and The Sentinel. It was a true classic though and I would highly recommend it, although the control system is little tricky to start with, after some perseverence it's very rewarding game.
As a side note, there was also a game based on the same engine also released by System 3 for the C64 called Vendetta. I would recommend it to anyone who has a C64 emu and has completed the LN series of games.
