Play Silent Dragon (World) Online
You slash through shadowy forests as a ninja, dodging arrows and timing brutal counters against samurai bosses—those pixel-perfect sword swings feel so weighty.

Game Overview
Silent Dragon is one of those arcade gems that slipped under the radar back in the day, but man, does it pack a punch. You play as this ninja tearing through shadowy forests and crumbling temples, slashing enemies with this satisfyingly chunky sword swing. The first level throws you right into it—you’ll be dodging arrows, flipping over traps, and figuring out the timing for those brutal counterattacks.
What really stuck with me were the boss fights. The first one’s this towering samurai who telegraphs his moves just enough that you can learn his patterns, but not so much that it feels easy. And the pixel art? Gorgeous, especially for an arcade game from this era—lots of moody blues and deep reds that make everything pop.
It’s tough, sure, but in that way where every death feels like your fault, not the game’s. If you’ve got MAME set up, it’s absolutely worth a few credits.
