In this collection of brief interviews, several members of the SNK-affiliated developer ADK (formerly Alpha Denshi) discuss the origins of the company and some of their most memorable Neo Geo works, including the fighting game World Heroes, the hardcore action-platformer Magician Lord and the first-person fantasy combat game Crossed Swords, with special focus given to ADK’s unabashed and rather silly fixation with ninjas and their many ninja-laden titles, including Ninja Combat, Ninja Commando and Ninja Master’s.

(you'll note that the third interview isn't really ninja related, but given the dearth of ADK info out there, I thought I'd add it here for good measure)

Hey all! Sorry for the relative lateness of these updates--I took a much-needed break earlier this month, but I'm back now. I'll have one more surprise to share in the next day or two, but for now, I hope you enjoy this and the Kojima interview!
