Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
I knew nothing about this game prior to playing it, but I smelled trouble ahead when it became apparent the game was using effects ripped from Street Fighter 2; something was definitely afoot...

It wasn't until I got into the game proper, however, that I realised Dragon Bowl is actually bootleg of Shadow Warriors/Ninja Gaiden, released originally by Tecmo in 1988.

What makes the game so fascinating is the game plays identically, but everything has been reskinned with different graphics. The thugs from Ninja Gaiden have been replaced with cartoon rabbits and bears(?), and the Kali stick-wielding guy has been replaced with some buffalo armed with a pair of toasting forks; totally bizarre!
