Sounds like you're talking about Iga Ninden Gaou. The main char is a
ninja in a side scrolly action setting. Incidentally, the game came out
in Oct '93, so it's likely Gamefan issue was published before the game
came out. Check http://joyce.eng.yale.edu/~bt/pcecp/ under the "I"
section for more info... dunno if the cover scan will
Also, that page lists it as "Gaiou", but should be "Gaou" or "Gao" or
whatever. :)
Anyway, it's a decent game. It's colorful and very nice looking, but it's
kinda a slow pace game. The char walks kinda slow... and that's all you
can do is walk. No running, no flipping, no climbing walls. The char has
some ninja magic stuff that's kinda neat. I was expecting more action,
sorta like Ninja Gaiden. To be honest, I was comparing this game to
Kazekiri, but due to Gaou's cheaper price, I bought it instead.
Hope this helps...
