Oriental Hero is a ninja-themed side-scrolling beat-'em-up video game published in 1987 exclusively for the ZX Spectrum under the Firebird Software Silver Range label.

The bosses at the end of each level—the Terrible Indian Cobra, the Highly Technical Triple Armed War Unit, Ivan Dragovich the Russian Master, and Zerwin the Wizard[2]—can be killed with three hits.

[3] Michel Nass and Tommy Gardh of Tron Software, a Swedish video game development company,[4] began working on Oriental Hero in late 1986, shortly after the release of Ninja Master, its predecessor.

The writer praised the pixel art of the character sprites and felt the fighting mechanics worked "reasonably well" but called the command of movement "somewhat limited, and the side-scrolling "leav[ing] a bit to be desired".

[9] Tony Dillon of Sinclair User meanwhile gave it four stars out of ten, writing that the game "is all so fast ... winning starts becoming a matter of luck".
