In addition to his ninja skills, Black Manta will be able to acquire additional powers (including invisibility and teleportation) to help him out against the numerous and well-armed villains.
Wrath of the Black Manta is a side-scrolling arcade-style action game with five different levels.
Throughout each level the player may come across various clues to help him find where to go next, or discover a hidden location.
Some of the bad guys Black Manta comes across may also possess useful knowledge and can be interrogated if they don't kill him first.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Wrath of the Black Manta for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Wrath of the Black Manta to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1989.
