This game was great because it was so different!
Thie game wasn't fun b/c of it's gameplay, it was fun b/c you played to find out what would happen next... it was the most 'mysterious' game I played at that time.

It kind of had that Zelda feel to it.
In Zelda, you could 'really' be on level 1 but you could go to level 2 if you want to snag the special weapon out of it... stuff like that.
You could do that with this game but from a different perspective.
In Rygar, you had no idea what was level 1 or 2, you kind of fell into everything.. pretty cool.

The weapons were really cool and you needed some to get to certain places in the game.

Total classic... I'm almost considering buying an XBOX to get the Tecmo Classics Collection (it has TECMO BOWL also!!!).

Sadly the PS2 version of "Rygar" is nothing but a DMC clone. The original RYGAR NES was far better than the arcade game. It had depth, challenge and paved the way for action adventure/hack and slash/ RPG hybrids on consoles.

The difficulty was insane thanks to no save points. But aside from that old school flaw, the game is flat out fun and engaging. My fondest NES memories are from staying up all night as a kid beating this game

I bought it for my husband who played the game as a child. He had never been able to beat the game then; and had been wanting to beat it for the past 20 some years. He has since beaten the game and loves playing it over and over.

Circa 1987... They had just abolished my job of nearly 4 years and there I was collecting unemployment and living in a single room apartment. But I had Rygar. Oh, what a fantastic game this is and what fun to play. This game didn't offer the ability to save progress, so being unemployed was an added benefit at the time. Not wanting to lose any progress, I remember leaving the game turned on when I would run across the street to purchase some snacks at the 7/11. I think that one of the things that makes this game such a wonderful experience is the music. This was the first video game that ever caused me to fall in love with the theme music. The music in this game is OUTSTANDING!

The controls are simple and easy to learn. The adventure itself is somewhat involved, leaving you with a real sense of satisfaction when complete. The venues change throughout the game keeping it interesting. What a fantastic game this is! I thank God for wonderful games such as Rygar! Thanks God! (Spoken while pointing both index fingers toward the Heavens!)

This game will really take you back if you grew up playing Nintendo. Arrived in perfect condition. Couldn't step away from it until I beat the game. Just like old times!

This games rocks! I received it as a gift and thought that it was going to be stupid. But I decided to pop it into the NES and just play it to get the feel for the gameplay and if it indeed was a dumb game. Boy was I wrong; this game kept me occupied for hours on end. Great game to the last level. Fun gameplay. Unique idea and style of play, and one of the most unknown games on the market. I would buy it if they made it available for Gamecube.
