GenerationGapGaming - Dude this series is awesome. Aside from AVGN and The Game Historian these are my favorite game related videos so please keep them coming.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Wow! Such an honor for you to say that man. Gaming Historian and AVGN are two of my favorites as well. Really means a lot to me, so thanks so much!

[@nkw1985]

GenerationGapGaming - You're welcome man. The combination of the history, walkthroughs, and nostalgia for the 80s/90s is really something special and that background music is just pure bliss. Thanks for taking the time to reply and I wish you continued success.

Ok sir, you just got another sub today. Rygar, Machoman and He-man referenced in one video?!? Wicked! Big fan of Rygar since I was a kid and now a fan of your channel. Thanks for the work making this. : D

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks Sebastian! Great to meet you man and welcome to G3!!!

[@robotsex111]

Rygar was such a great game. It had an awesome soundtrack.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

The music is definitely some of the best on the NES. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@PlusmaGun]

Also, some of the areas in the Japanese version of this game has different music altogether, and they sound just as swell.

[@justintahair9119]

yea and i loved exploring it

[@subzero8679]

Was? It still is a great game.

[@lexbeltran1354]

Tecmo made a few good games for the NES back in the day. Rygar's graphics & music was ahead of it's time.

[@doctorx3]

I love the ancient Greek themes in this game, and the highly ambitious design and mechanics. It's such a clever and unique spin on the early action RPG themes. Kind of the missing link between Zelda II and Faxanadu.

[@mr.pavone9719]

You mean Link is missing?!

[@jasonbafile]

When I was a kid I used to start the game up and head straight to one of the induras and let that music play for hours in my room.

[@coolshtmagazine3732]

Ahhh man we love Rygar, that music and box art is so iconic.

[@xaer0knight]

Damn right its under rated and underappreciated. I spend countless Saturdays with my late Uncle playing and boy it took us a while. It was fun, great soundtrack, and its a great game to speedrun.

Brought back some memories , I remember my brother having a sleep over and him, his friends and I played all night trying to beat this game. When you died you had to give the controller to the next person. After countless attempts of trying to kill the final boss, I was the one to finally take him down and had the gloating rights over my brother until we could save enough for the next NES game, which was Russian Attack. LOL... Great Video!!!

I'm really glad you focused on the cave music. That is by far my favorite 8 bit music track.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks man! The cave music is a great tune!

[@Peanutfiendsblog]

The cave with the spider boss at the end, definitely! The best song by far! It had like a prog-rock/jazz melody to it. It's playing in my head right now.

[@tonezone2654]

Thanks so much for putting this up! Rygar is one of my all time favorite games! It brings me right back to my friends house when we stayed up all night in 1989 (or 90) playing it. So amazing! The music is so amazing, I still remembered it even years later without hearing it! I finally got to play it again a couple years ago and beat it! That feeling if completion and wholeness swept over me and I can die happy! 👍 Thanks man! This is an absolute favorite, along with: Willow Karnov Zelda and Link There are many others (always), but those were my top 5.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Yoi are welcome man! Loved those others you spoke about too. Karnov is underrated too. Thanks for commenting man.

[@TexasGuitarist]

Dude! I love that music! I'm a musician, and have recently fallen in love with 80's synth music and old video game music. I think I want to go a cover of this music.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

It's called 80s dark from airport music. I love this music. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SourGr4pe]

Just found your channel and this is my favorite nes game. I've always ground the two flappy unicorns on the screen to the left of your robot. Grapple up and down to spawn them on either side of you. Two birds with one load. Rygar is now free on switch with Nintedo Switch Online.

[@told2stop]

Thanks so much for this video. This is one of my favorite games of that NES area. Totally underrated.

[@GamerPlaypen]

Love how you add the commercials from back then, never even heard of this Toy Store until this video. I never got into Rygar for some reason when I got it for free from a friend in the late 90s, but I’m going to give it so attention after this video. Thank You and as usual love your videos

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks man. Always good to hear from you. Yeah dude you need to playthrough Rygar. I really think you will like it.

[@eightbyter]

Wind pulley : move horizontally where the rope starts. Rygar’s crown just below the wooden pole. Move left and right where the rope is around the chest area without getting too close to the cliff. If not engaging, Tap up or down and try again left and right until it engages. It took me may times to figure this out, but after months or years without playing it, it all comes back as if it was yesterday. I played this game aimlessly for a long time. It was great to find new places and to listen to the music, until my cousin sat down once to play from start to finish and I never forgot the route. I did struggle the first time playing after over a decade. But never again! I still do my playthrough every so often to keep it fresh. Nice video!

[@captainmofongo584]

This was a game that always got thrown in at my friends house during my Middle School years. We would sit around the TV eating snacks and taking turns trying to get passed areas.

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

I have Rygar in my collection. I bought it back in 89 when I was 14 at Kay-Bee toys. I finally beat it after a week, and then I sold it to a friend a year later. It was one of my regrets, next to giving up Battle of Olympus. Great game! Cheap to buy online right now.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

How in the hell did I miss this game for the NES!? Rygar looks absolutely Badass! The graphics look great for an NES game and I can tell that the game play and controls work well and are very fun. As a child in the 80s and 90s, I had several friends who all had a NES and not one of them owned this game. What’s crazy about that is that we all would’ve loved it. Thank you for bringing this game to light and showcasing it on your channel. I’m definitely going to try and score a copy of Rygar.

[@jdsrcs8061]

I love Rygar!!! Great play and took forever! Haha I forgot about the no save, I lost many games , "thanks a lot mom!"

[@jeffthecoder]

8:09 Secret 1: If you go to the path on the right, but position yourself high up against the rock wall before scrolling the screen, you can glitch your character into the wall. If you then go back left you can go up into the green colored part and access a normally unexplorable (and glitched) area of this level. There are a lot of strange things there, including even a glitched boss that you can kill to get a big boost to your Mind and Last. I spent countless hours exploring that place as a kid. It gets weirder the further you go. 12:29 Secret 2: Using your grappling hook, you can climb down from the logs and go down into the water. The screen will scroll and you will be underwater. Interestingly, you'll never drown and there will be Olbis monsters down there trying to attack you. 16:08 Secret 3: You can use your grappling hook to climb to the ceiling in the center of the room to fight this boss. If you do that, all the boss can do is climb up the wall and then come to you across the ceiling. As soon as you hit him, he drops to the floor and goes back up the wall again. This makes it very easy to defeat him. 17:00 Secret 4: Use the grappling hook to climb down from the lowest platform. Scroll the screen down, and then climb back up to scroll the screen back up. You'll notice the boss will be positioned slightly lower than he was before and you can jump and hit him without having to climb up to the small platform with him, making him much easier to defeat. 17:28 Secret 5: The Ghelman monsters in this area (with the green on their back) can be multi-spawned by quickly scrolling the screen up and down at one of its spawn locations. You can spawn so many that you can cause the game to slow down and eventually even crash. You can spawn many of them together in the same place, and kill them all at once, quickly boosting your Mind and Last. You can max your stats out in under a minute using this glitch! 17:32 Secret 6: In overhead sections of the game, when you jump you are 100% invincible to all attacks while in the air. If you continuously jump, moving left and right to avoid landing on the boss or his projectiles while hitting him, he becomes one of the easiest bosses to beat. 18:05 Secret 3 can work against this mini-boss as well I don't know if all of these will work quite the same on PAL. I found them all on the NTSC version

[@3DzineR]

Squidian The Bo Fish QnA have u ever heard of this ??? the 1st boss 13:10 theres a glitch were u jump on his back and keep bouncing on his back and stay to the right of the screen. he'll turn and go to the right and get stuck on the tree, (stuck facing the right being on the far right side of the screen) at this point u can stop bouncing and jump off his back. he will stay stuck and you can just stand behind him and blast him till hes defeated .

[@jeffthecoder]

@@3DzineR Nice, didn't know about that one.

[@miggles7188]

@@jeffthecoder From what I remember there's a major glitch in Lygar's palace. As soon as you appear through the doorway you see the edge of the floating island to your left. If you jump to the left far enough off the edge, the screen will scroll over to a completely new glitched out palace that you can explore. There are no enemies in it and you can die by falling in certain areas, but you'll be able to walk across the sky and on walls in some cases.

[@jeffthecoder]

@@miggles7188 Nice. I recently found out about another glitch at 17:00 where you can kind of wedge yourself to the right to force scroll the screen and it shortcuts you to a glitched version of the final boss. When you kill that boss it triggers the ending

Great vid man appreciate your Channel... Rygar was the ORIGINAL Dark Souls! The hero back from the dead to usurp the Lord in a strange, surreal landscape. Fkng dope! And yes... The music is simply Epic.

[@quikslvrx]

I made it all the way to the floating palace at 10 years old. My dad would smack the hell out of me whenever I stayed inside all day playing Nintendo and I was not allowed to leave my NES on. So you can imagine the number of bruises and bloody lips I got for this game. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You hit on everything I loved about this game. The sound, the weapon, the quick response time. (compared to other games of this era) Every now and then I run into someone who played this game as well and they ALWAYS love it as much as me. So innovative. Thank you for this video!! I had to put an edit in here. You also threw in my Disney as a kid...Child World!!! I still remember the smell. ❤❤❤❤

My dad struck a deal with me when i was a kid to eat a sardine. I told him there was no way in the world he could get me to eat something that gross, so he promised me a brand new Nintendo game. I made him promise. I wasnt ten years old yet, so this sounded too good to be true. I choked that nasty thing down. Maybe two weeks later... but what seemed like an eternity... I received this game, in the wrap, picked out by him for me. This game is extra special, on top of being an awesome nes game. Great video! Love your family friendly channel! Do street fighter 2010. Very underrated game. Control scheme is tricky, but once you get a handle on Ken's special moves, the game becomes really awesome to play. It needs a review that will do it justice... there aren't many people that take it seriously. Its my vote for capcoms next nes hd remaster, like ducktales a few years back.

[@grawakendream8980]

Excellent video! Awesome tribute to this game, you captured my sentiments perfectly. Rygar was the first game I bought with my Nintendo after careful study of the boxes of each video game at Toy R Us in 1987. No one else had this game too so it became like my game. Very frustrating, left it on for hours and hours plenty of times. I think I was stuck in the forest for months before the rest of the game began to open up. Eruuga was the toughest before the final boxx. And what a relief & reward it was, to topple Ligar and open the door of peace. Bittersweet in the sense that Rygar has to return to the underworld again after, and you start again at 0. Great memories!

[@Und34d_R]

What a great video. This game was one of the defining gaming experiences of my childhood in the late 80s. My brothers and I would spend days playing it, and the characters and items really did seem "legendary" to me. I remember there was a glitch in the game (forget the specifics) that you could use a grappling hook or pulley to enter into an entirely glitched version of the world. The monsters had heads/legs/pieces that were mixed together, and it really had no end. It was bizarre and one of the cooler things we found. I still remember doing it to this day and showing my friends. This, along with Zelda and Kid Icarus, were the best adventure games of that era.

[@bunkyspunkmeyer]

Man the way it starts out with that epic music & that big sun in the background. U knew u were gonna be on a great adventure. Love this game! I feel like this 1 & Bionic Commando are the most underrated games on the nes

[@sonofradium4835]

Dorago can easily be defeated with Attack and Assail, provided your Tone was well developed. However, DO NOT use this method against Ligar as the screen flash will glitch the end sequence and credits. Great video, my man!

Wow, great video bro. I use to play Rygar arcade nearly every weekend at my local mall. That game was super difficult and the amount of quarters I spent on it was absurd. That game might of been their top money maker at the time. When I found out an NES version was coming out I was thrilled. But I when I played it, I was kinda disappointed that it wasn't like the arcade. But I decided to play through it and to my delight I ended up loving it. I love that it wasn't a game that can be completed over night, I also loved the LONG adventure that it takes you through. The game was well designed, great soundtrack, high replay value and very rewarding when completed. I must of completed this game at least a dozen times.

Thanks man. I completely agree with you.

I played that game over and over again, one of my favorite along with Bionic Commando! Thanks mate.

I played this back in the early 90s when I was 13 or 14. No manual, no internet, no nothing. I had no help except for a friend who told me I needed to play the flute on the tower where you can see the sky castle. My favorite NES game and overall favorite videogame of all time. I wish there were other games like this.

Played this a lot as a kid but never got very far. After watching your video I was able to FINALLY feel like i was getting somewhere! The save state on the switch helps too lol

I played this game as a little kid and it was in Japanese, I didn't understand anything and I couldn't progress long. I occasionally remembered this game from time to time but I didn't know the game title. Thank you, I stumbled on your video and just watched it till the end just to know the story about this game.

I bought this game by a friends recommendation and rough description. Needless to say I wasn’t dissapointed. This video taught me stuff that I didn’t know after so many years of playing it. Amazing !!! Very cool video as usual. (Fairly new subscriber catching up)

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks as always Roger. I will never get tired of Rygar.

Love the channel. I used to work at Children’s Palace and had to dress up as Peter Panda. NES 4 Life

[@rylch44]

Love this game!!! Absolutely fantastic video man. Just bought this game complete in box. Can’t wait for it to arrive so I can play it and finally beat it. I reached the final stage as a kid but never beat it. It’s goin down!

[@CeltadzManicure]

I really enjoyed your video. Yes, that brings back some memories. I was ten years old when this game came out and I remember it sort of divided my fellow video game fans at the time between those of us who liked the more flashy arcade game vs those, like me, who got into the explore-able world with side quests. What a great soundtrack for the time; I still remember every tune. With all the grinding required and no save option, it sure was a lesson in patience.

This was the very first NES game I got. It is one of my favorite games to this day for all the reasons outlined in this video. My favorite trick was to tape the D-Pad down and the A button to fire his shield in an area where the enemies spawn continuously and come back a few hours later completely powered up! I was 12, cut me some slack!

[@geddon81]

Wow Childrens Palace and Rygar in the same video......Thank you man, I remembered what being a kid felt like .

[@chiefchimp2789]

Dude, nice mention of Children's Palace/Child World and Showbiz Pizza! I also love NES Tecmo games.

[@robertmcginty4146]

This was one of my first favorite games on the NES. As a kid I had the console and TV in my bedroom closet, and I would often get up after bedtime and sit in the closet to keep playing. Clever young me.

[@chanelporter8227]

I remember this game as being my top 5 all time favorite adventure game, right up there with Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Mega Man. Faxanadu is another highly underrated nes game.

[@silasbonneau3672]

Got this for my nes when I was a kid, loved the hell out of it!! Beat the game many times, one glitchy thing that I thought you might talk about is at the beginning of the floating castle level, if you go left and jump over the ledge you go to a different part of the castle, you end up on top of the walls, if you drop down you get stuck, the doors don't let you through, and no enemies are around to kill you, not able to die, no time limit, just have to hit reset, what a waste. So anyway that's what I remember

[@retrononsense582]

One of my favorites. Played it a ton as a kid. The music is fantastic! Great video as always.

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

Nice job, this is the best review of Rygar I have seen on youtube

[@ERGLupin]

HOLY CRAP! You have to upload that video tape from Child’s World. My mom still to this day frequently talks about how when I was a kid that was my favorite thing to watch over and over again.

[@crashline]

I loved this game as a kid. I never got even half as far as you do here. This was neat to see.
