I review the Sega Master System port of Rastan .

One of the NES games I hear the least about is Little Ninja Brothers , an action RPG developed by Nihon Game (aka Culture Brain), released in 1990 in North America. The sequel to Kung Fu Heroes (known as  Chinese Hero in the Arcade), took what made the original game so much fun and added RPG elements to it.
