Description

"Surf Ninjas" is a video game released for the Sega Game Gear in 1993, based on the movie of the same name. The game combines elements of action-adventure and comedy, mirroring the film's plot where two Californian brothers discover their royal heritage and embark on a quest to free their homeland from an evil dictator. Players take control of the main characters, using martial arts and improvised weapons, while riding waves on their surfboards in various levels that aim to capture the movie's unique blend of surfing and ninja fighting. The gameplay is primarily side-scrolling with players navigating through different environments, battling foes, and overcoming obstacles to progress in their mission.

Despite its interesting premise, "Surf Ninjas" for the Sega Game Gear, developed by Beam Software and published by TecMagik, did not receive widespread acclaim and has since been regarded as a relatively obscure title in the vast library of Game Gear games. It is notable for its attempt to blend the surf culture and martial arts genre into the gameplay, reflecting a unique 90s pop culture vibe. The portable nature of the Game Gear allowed players to experience the quirky adventure in a handheld format, though the game itself did not make significant waves in the gaming community, remaining a niche title for enthusiasts of the game and the movie.
