Take on the authentic ninja lifestyle as Philip J. Fry and the fish from American Dad use their totally hardcore '90s-relic attitude to take down the rival Ranx clan (the 'X' makes it sound cool). Actually a pretty good game, with a lot of variety, including shooter levels, giant robot battles, and some Prince of Persia-style acrobatics and over the top combat.

The Windows version was the latest and final release of I-Ninja, making it the most polished version; using extra sound effects, particles, terrain details, ect...

Developer Texts

There are a few text files containing debug information located in data\general.vol, and a few .log files located in data\10.vol.

The GAME.TXT and LEVELS.TXT files exist within every version of I-Ninja (some versions also contain CDGAME.TXT), however these text files contain unique contents in each version of the game, with each text slightly differing from one-other.

The key differences between this Windows version of LEVELS.TXT and the console versions include:

  • 'AndyC' being credited in the Windows text, while 'Justin Saunders' is credited in the console texts.
  • The console texts lists debug stages (60-00 through 60-99, and 09-00 through 09-99), while the Windows text does not.
  • No "ninja wad" stages are listed in the Windows text, while the console texts contains a handful of them.

10-00.LCS.LOG

A leftover log file located in data\10.vol. This is a compile log from compiling Robot Beach (10-00).

File: 10-00.LCS.LOG.zip (20kb) (info)
  • "AMFtoGAME" appears to be the compiler's name.

10-00.LCS.FAIL

An apparent error-returning command file located in data\10.vol. Based on the single string of console commands it contains, this was likely used to compile level 10-00 (Robot Beach), but the suffix ".FAIL" in the name suggests this didn't work as intended.
