Rygar NES speedrun in

09-29-2017 -- Watch live at / arcus

[@leemay7780]

this is the most underrated game on the NES imo. I rented it multiple times as a kid

[@atranfanatic]

Agree. It is pretty much my favorite game on the NES. I remember when my friend rented it back '88 when he first got his Nintendo. Always loved the music as well. I have beaten Rygar more times than I can remember and it never gets old. My record is a little over 3 hours from start to finish beating it. I love Rygar: Legendary Adventure on the PS2. I have yet to beat that one. lol

[@JJRasta97]

Agree!

[@mvpstats4277]

Same here 😂

[@erwintan266]

Agreed, i borrow it from my friend because he cant beat it. One Day i Just learned how to use graple and it change everything. Complete it so many times.

[@4thworldwilderness390]

I was 6, I never did beat it..

[@maxpower10k]

I loved this one as a kid on NES. Don’t think I ever beat it but always enjoyed playing it. The music is probably one of the most nostalgic scores for me. Brings me right back to lazy summer afternoons in grade school with nothing else to do or worry about. Good stuff. Haha 🍻

[@retrosauce]

It's definitely one of my favorite NES games!! And up until recently, I could never beat it without a game genie

If anyone sees those random replies about hacking i stagram...It's a spam that advertises a resource that promises to let you hack anyone. But of course it hacks you instead and uses your account to continue to spam. (And not only spam but also scam etc).

[@PenumbraPlays]

Just have to say of all the KZbinrs I've seen you are the most pleasant to watch. You aren't loud and obnoxious. You don't have crap all over your screen or loud noises obstructing the gameplay. You're very skilled and knowledgeable about the games you play. You have a great attitude and come across as a genuinely nice guy. Someday if I ever get myself together you'll be the first I donate to. As for now all I can do is subscribe and support you that way. I would love to see you branch off into SNES games if you have the interest. Have a good one :)

[@oozzkansas1163]

most patient and gentle Runner i've seen so far...keep the great work up Arcus!! ...aaaand clunkh!!

[@elkhartandy209]

I just started watching your Batman runs on twitch. I found your videos of ninja gaiden on youtube and I was hooked. Very relaxing and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to your Mario runs. Keep doing what you do.

[@DJJustJayOK]

Made my night...great upload and run!

[@solemngreyghost]

Congratulations dude!! I love this game. Never saw the ending before but I know now I got pretty close. Thank you!

[@jaybrooks1098]

Loved the music in this game

[@Peanutfiendsblog]

Totally agree. I used to record Rygar music on cassette when i was a kid and listen to it on my walkman when i mowed the grass.

[@robertanderson2898]

@@Peanutfiendsblog I recorded a bunch of NES music on my boombox i had way back in the 80s. Then (much) later on when i got internet, i recorded a bunch of game music from files, XM music and such. Huge lists of games, don't know if they're still up. I still have the cassettes i recorded the early stuff on, but the music has been recorded over. Still have all the other cassettes chock full of game tunes from the internet!

[@EverSupreme]

Love your speed runs Arcus.

Buddy rulez

[@Marzimus]

My buddy and I played this as a kid. Watching it now we could have never made it to the end. Thanks to you I saw the end of a game that tormented our youth. Next up would be Karnov...

[@ObsessedCollector]

Got this for my birthday in 1988. LOVED IT!! I can play it deathless now. But my god can you smash this sucker fast!! GREAT VIDEO!

[@lepetitenellie]

You whistled the tune the same time I started whistling lol! Man, Rygar. Lots of thrown controller sessions when I was a kiddo playing this game but I kept coming back. Great gameplay!

[@jasonduhamel7813]

Just started watching these speed runs. Very entertaining. Love the mustache

[@mamaslittleman6104]

Damn man Even Rygar him self would be Impressed. You really are insane with this shit, I love how calm and maintained he is lots of others look like they're gonna shit them selves doing these speed run but not the 8-Bit Cowboy. Real Pro.

[@RickyManner]

This game is one of the greatest and should have been one of the most talked about

[@JJRasta97]

This is a hard one to beat in general, let alone for a speed run. Kudos to you. Awesome game btw! Love the music!

[@implode3]

One of favorites as a kid, this and wizards and apwarriors were underrated

[@retrosauce]

Yes!!

[@joeypadilla86]

Agreed!

[@Ashgrom]

Man, Rygar brings back such nice memories. One of the greatest adventure games on the NES and so many people don't even seem to know about it. And that MUSIC.

[@lexluthor9279]

Well played Arcus. I like your style, when your show usually starts with resetting game and starting in the beginning, showing that if you want to become good player, you have to practice a lot.

[@dippydog21]

This was part of the Big 3: Karnov Rastan Rygar

[@333espn]

Rastan was the shit!

[@Necronomous]

Ah, Rygar. When I reached the final boss I always died. Was a kid back then, but finally after several tries I finally got him down. Was so happy with joy so I smacked my controller to the ground, well controller however survived, and 20 years plus after this event, it still works like a charm.

[@patrckhh20]

That was a good huuahh!!

[@DeltaZaka]

Yep. I like huuah too. 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@wojiaobill]

You're a good huah

[@hellfire66683]

In the Army it's spelled Hooah

[@matthewstowers1906]

I absolutely loved this game as a kid. Pretty sure there was no save function or passwords, you just had to beat it in one setting

[@JJRasta97]

Yep, right up there with Ghosts and Goblins - ridiculously difficult and only for the hardcore gamers lol

[@matthewstowers1906]

@@JJRasta97 ..not that difficult. I cant beat g n g but I can beat Rygar pretty easily

[@JJRasta97]

@@matthewstowers1906 that last part in the floating castle with the main boss I would always die and then have to redo that whole floating castle part super frustrating but was able to finally finish it a couple times

Made this look way too easy wow. Arcus is the man!!!

[@cm3462]

I loved this game back in the day

[@eoghancullen]

Great work. Music in this game is great.

[@ppjkb8]

Sometimes I got angry when I bought a NES game named after an arcade game and it wasn't the arcade game. But times like this, you get so much more than a simple side scrolling game like Rygar was.

[@psychophipps]

Great game! That jump at 4:00 or so was insane!

[@GerardoSantana]

great run

[@christopherjohnson2171]

I love the comments, taking the words right out of my mouth. The music!

[@superduty4556]

I got this game when I was a wee lad. Never understood the game as a kid.

[@Uriseph]

This was one of the few NES games I actually put time aside as a child to beat. Pretty tough but nowhere near as bad as Legend of Zelda.

Was really wondering if you had done this game. Was always a favorite as a kid. Didn’t beat it until I was 17 lol. 🕯

[@CarlSeitan]

I could never figure out how to beat this damn game.

I figured it when I actually started reading the old sitting men's tips.

Terminei esse game quando tinha 15 anos ,jogava todos os dias até encontrar todos os itens e caminhos 😃

[@R-Lee-]

Me and my brother couldn't figure it out either but we love trying

[@JJRasta97]

Beat it - definitely one of the hardest NES games to complete. Especially since using the pulley on the overhead map was so touchy, I always killed myself on accident it was beyond frustrating

[@dan5609]

I regret not playing this back in the day looks like a better zelda 2

[@robertanderson2898]

While I rarely ever timed myself playing NES games, this was the first ever game I beat, and I did it at 8 years old, back in the same year.

[@do5e]

One of my All Time favorite games. I'd play it right now if I could.

One of the first games I owned ❤. It was this kung fu, Mario, castlevainia 2 and tmnt arcade. There were a couple more nes games I owned but those were my faves We also rented a bunch like ghosts and goblins, jackal, rush n attack, Friday the 13th, jaws and much more

[@someoneout-there2165]

This was one of my favorites as a little kid but the room with the old man and the music always scared me for some reason.

[@robertmastrobuono978]

I remember there was a trick with the first boss where if you continue to bounce on top of its head and move him towards the far right corner, eventually he will start to turn, left and right continuously then get stuck. Then jump off and just attack till de dies.

[@davidbermudez7704]

Nice farming bro 😊

[@Pholiage]

This game takes me back. As a kid me and a friend stayed up all night trying to beat the first boss. Mashing the attackbutton having no clue what a strategy was to a point we got blisters. We managed to beat the boss with the only sense of accomplisment a pair of 11 year old could have.....screaming at the top of our lungs..

[@Kraken9911]

I remember this game when I was a kid. Hardest game I ever played.

He's like he-man but straight. Those crawling arm monsters I didnt see before, but the later levels seem more like they didnt try as much like the first few.

Well said

[@federicomurias6445]

omg that first boss takes some time.

[@jaybrooks1098]

That game broke many controllers

[@Martinsspiegel]

Non speedruns will grind for a while to build up strength before fighting him.

[@doctorpetrovich9296]

on low level on the 1st boss it needs 90 hits to kill it please correct me if i'm wrong

[@jason3994]

Wow you had a little trouble in rygar but in ninja gaiden you breezed thru 😳 but still awesome gameplay!

[@Arrakim1]

Enemies look so weird in this game.

[@djpeterson7479]

I think that was the appeal as a kid for me. The enemies were really creepy. Especially that flying lizards thing that drops the egg-things.

Watch the time markers on the left- a clunk is when he finishes the current leg and starts the timer on the next leg.

[@rodylermglez]

When people talk about metroidvanias people don't talk about NES Rygar often enough.
