Ninja 5-o is the only game I ever pirated and frankly it is probably the best solution as unless you can inspect the game before hand you could easily end up with a bootleg over the internet anyway (I did back when it came out, which is annoying)
, I was well aware of it when it was released, but it was incredibly difficult to find i.e. Impossible within 50 miles of where I live (that included a few small cities) on the day it came out, plus it was before any game could be preordered
and no further shipments were made
the game is an extremely high quality action platformer in the vein of the nes ninja gaidens/shinobi games
unfortunately when you combine rare and good (plus loads of bootleg copies) you get games like Panzer Dragoon Saga, Iron Soldier 2, or Sengoku 3, people stumble upon their existence, want to play them then discover an unreasonable price tag (around 600-700 USD in Sengoku 3's case) and the only reasonable option is to get a rom
Unless Konami rereleases it on some format (which would be awesome) find the rom and enjoy the game, as there is no reason to risk spending that kind of money on what might be a bootleg anyway
