Ninja Rabbits and its sequel International Ninja Rabbits are two "faithful" conversions of a pair of terrible Commodore 64 games of the same names that star you as a rabbit who is tasked with saving a factory from certain destruction.
You do this by going to various locations in one city in Ninja Rabbits and various international cities in International Ninja Rabbits including Japan, Italy, and USA - to battle hordes of evil rabbits, humans and other animals, all skilled in martial arts. Despite the interesting and novel premise, the games are quite horrendous due to bad controls, ridiculously easy gameplay, drab background palettes, and jerky/slow animations of everything that moves.
Fortunately, there are only three stages in each of the games, so it might worth a look for fans of bad games to see another shining example of a Real Dog. It's also quite interesting to note that International Ninja Rabbits, despite being released two years after the original, inherits all of the bad gameplay of Ninja Rabbits - upgrading only graphics. Oh well - some developers never learn ;)

Ah yes, played this in the 90s from the bargain bin. The whole thing is hilarious. You start at your rabbit hole on a golf course where you have to avoid getting killed by flying golf balls and fight badgers. Then you get into the city and fight other things like, my favorite, frog grandmas attacking you with walkers. I haven't replayed yet so could be misremembering that last bit, but it wouldn't be off-brand. I think the general premise is nuclear waste has mutated all the animals including you, so you use your new mutant ninja rabbit powers to stop the power plant that's the source. Pollution is bad kids! So not saving the factory, rather destroying it? The plot is pretty vague though so yeah.
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
