Ninja Emaki

Capcom's 1985 release Commando basically defined the overhead run-and-gun arcade genre, with many other similar games (particularly Ikari Warriors) also re-using its military jungle theme. Yet before this stereotype was codified, some of its competitors opted for different themes, like Sega's Ninja Princess and Taito's Kiki Kaikai.
