Product Description

A hero has arrived to defeat the forces of evil in the land of Argool, and you are this hero. Do you have what it takes? This game was one of the first adventures to hit the NES and the remarkable aspect on top of this was the multiple viewpoints the games offers. When you are in an action zone, the game is a side-scrolling action game; however, then you are travelling between zones, the game takes on an overhead view that can also lead to combat situations.

Awesome game
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!!!).

The 2nd greatest NES game of all time
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

Great Fun
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.
