Shadow Warriors (W) / Ninja Gaiden (U) / Ninja Ryukenden (J)

Notes from Sonic of 8! (fixed for consistency):
Two bootlegs exists with diffrent configuration
of sound chips: Master Ninja (uses 2xYM2203
without the OKI chip) and Dragon Bowl (uses a
YM2151 plus a OKIM6295 chip).

Track 14 plays only on non-japanese versions.
Track 22 plays only on japanese versions. But
for me, Track 22 is better. Both of them is
used on Stage 4.

Notes from Dario011:
According to both albums, Mikio Saito and
Ryuichi Nitta (in addition to an interview
he had) were the composers for this game,
Saito made the music for almost all the
stages of the game, while Nitta made the
ones used when passing the stages and the
song of stage 4 for the International Version,
of the other composers (besides seeing
the most recent album of this game,
"Ninja Gaiden The Definitive Soundtrack"),
you do not see their names, which leaves me
that they should only have contributed
with the other sound effects.

I also added for the sake of having the
pack complete, I added the Japanese versions of
the Round Clears (with the "Ninja Ryukenden"
voice), I applied the order of the album
backwards, first the songs (For Stage 4
and Round Clears without the voice)
that are used in the International Version,
and then the Japanese ones, and that's why I
made other playlists, the Japanese follows
the original album, while the international
are in another order.

Track Names and Composer Breakdown are from:
"Ninja Ryukenden -G.S.M. TECMO 1-" (D28B-0013)
and "Ninja Gaiden The Definitive Soundtrack
Vol. 1" (GS-003).

This pack was re-ripped using
MAME 0.244 VGM Mod.
