Released in July 1987, Rygar is the story of a warrior from Argus named Rygar, who has been brought back from the dead to defeat the evil Ligar, open the Door of Peace, and restore tranquility to Argool. The game was one of the first to bring RPG elements into a more action-oriented game, but is now probably best known for its awful translation and frisbee-like main weapon (which is actually a shield).

Author's comments:

Rygar is a top 10 NES game for me. Possibly influenced by the fact that I had the game in my childhood, but I don't think so. Great game. I don't think there's anything new in this run compared to my previous 25:59 run, it's simply better executed. Same "old" level-up system at dun-dun dun-dun-dun-dun dun-dun-dun-dun dun-dun-dun-dun... My previous Rygar run was slightly rushed imho. There are still a few things possible to improve, but this run's just much more solid, with better gaming overall.

Thanks to:

Marc J. 'Emptyeye' Dziezynski for his Rygar run at SDA which I learned from and enjoyed.

The SDA-crew for downloading, transferring, uploading, and all that other important stuff that makes this run possible for others to enjoy.
