Ninja Cadets (ja)
In a foiled attempt to kidnap an infant princess, the princess is rescued by a loyal ninja and is hidden in a village where she is raised as a common female ninja. Many years later, some promising young ninja students are about to be put through one final test, to see if they possess the skills required to be accepted as full ninja. They are known as Sakura, Matsuri, Yume, Pochi, and Hayashi, and their mission is to sneak inside the Byakuro Castle and steal a secret scroll. Little do they know that one of them is the surviving princess, nor are they aware that they are being following. We're sure our young ninja cadets can prove they have what it takes to be full ninja, the only question is whether they can do it before they kill each other!
Bird of Prey (en)
From its video game-inspired opening titles to its pervasive electronic music track, Bird of Prey went to great lengths to demonstrate its credentials as 'a thriller for the electronic age'. These elements, together with a clever and complex plot that combines a breathless fascination with the still-young field of computing with pan-European fraud, international terrorism, rogue intelligence operatives and organised crime, link it firmly to the early 1980s, expressing that era's growing anxieties about the burgeoning 'Eurocracy'.
