As
the C64 was dying, Jon Wells was
out there trying to save it.
This
was one of Jon's big efforts to try and save the scene, and bring
one final Last Ninja to the C64.
Jon
created a series of demos, and music was created to try and convince
System 3 that they could make one
final game in the series.
Jon
was planning to allow the Ninja to interact more with the background
of the game, and be able to walk on the
grass. Therefore not being restricted to just moving on
the path. This was shown in a test demo of one of the Last Ninja
2 levels, where the Ninja could actually go on the grass.
A
map was even created of one of the levels proposed by Jon to be
in the game, but sadly System 3 turned down Jon's proposal to
bring the game to the C64 (Even with Jon willing to take the whole
project on himself), so Jon moved on.
All
that exists are a series of previews, the scanned map and lots
of cool music by Feekzoid (The intro
tune incomplete) and Jon for the game.
Case
closed... this is all that exists of Last Ninja 4 on the C64...
Frank.
