Here I am using my capture card to demonstrate a unique effect in Shinobi when displayed through its composite or RF output on a Sega Genesis Model 1. The warehouse walls seem to shift from light to dark purple every eight pixels. This effect is not seen in the same way when viewing the game through an S-Video or RGB connection. I am aware of no emulator that can replicate this effect.
The same type of light-dark stripes to the warehouses are also seen in the Arcade version, so I am not sure whether this composite video effect was intentional. However, it is really cool nonetheless and one reason why you should not always deem composite video uninteresting, even on a Sega Master System.
