[@RetroFan]

So many memories with this game and NES in general. A magical part of my early childhood to never get back. I miss the late 80's, early 90's. Saturday cartoons, friday pizza and movie or game rental. Ah what a great age.

[@bradley272727]

+Retro Fan I agree totally

[@broodingspectralomniscient547]

+Retro Fan I concur! :)

[@Chikara199]

+Retro Fan We didn't rent that much in Sweden but I remember the family nights when dad was playing Zelda, Rygar, Kid icarus, Metroid, Castlevania and so on and the entire family were looking and solving problems and stuff. Those were the times :)

[@chestrockwell6547]

same here

[@josephmonroy3865]

Wow. Sounds like my late 80s early 90s. Love that Friday pizza!!!

[@danielcharette3199]

Man that cave song seriously kicks ass

[@davids8aff]

So good that Anberlin stole the background riff. Check it out. The first time I heard the song I said "Rygar!" Anberlin-The Feel Good Drag Song by Anberli

[@kingvoxel6516]

This is the music that we grew up with, and although we have heard this music many times before it is important that we continue to play it.

[@philiprivera6615]

when your a kid, and you make it up to "Castle", it was the scariest stage by far. floating on rock, completely isolated and alone, you have to traverse around this monstrous castle wall without a soul in sight. It made the dread of finding a doorway or opening that much more intense. when you did find your way in, you had to battle the shadows of all the beasts and monsters your slayed beforehand. It was a waking visceral nightmare, and the music was a big part of that uneasy despair your felt in the pit of your soul...

[@ABWard-ri7uu]

So true! I'll never forget it. I was sweating and nervous that first time. 1988 was the year I first played it. I was 13.

[@willp6702]

Well said

[@robertmcginty4146]

I first got there at 4 in the morning. With weak hands and overtiredness, I trudged on. Beat it about 5am and could finally rest.

[@TemperedMedia]

Core memory unlocked... how did I miss this one??

[@mugflub]

"Sagila's Cave" and "Tower" are just so fucking metal. Love it.

4:17 - Paths is a slapper.

[@vincentebaez2574]

I came hear to relive the Cave song theme again, it did not disappoint. 👍👍💯💯

[@brandonscottdurocher8523]

Wow that music brings back so many memories of my brother and I playing Nintendo all night.

[@v-town1980]

Great music! Jesus, back in the late 80s/early 90s my brother, myself and my friend must have played this game a thousand times. Most times all through the night. It was so crazy still playing while the sun was rising. To be a young teen again, ahhh.

[@StephenJPilat]

Great score! Critically underrated for sure

[@MattSpearsInfiniteOni]

2:57 Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde intro theme, lol.

[@theyakkomanguy7522]

Both games were composed by the same composer Michiharu Hasuya although Jekyll and Hyde came out in 89'

[@montec101]

I recently played through this game and beat it after all these years. Finally lol but this game is a prime example of how different video games were in 1987 compared to today. Games were very difficult back then and if you beat a game that means you worked for it! There was no auto healing and unlimited lives back then (unless you used a game genie of course) this game was tough though. Far beyond the skill level of a 6 year old kid

[@pinballmonk115]

this is one of my favorite games of all time.

[@calebchild4467]

16:51 Truly, the height of gaming music excellence. Indeed, the very track that all others wish they could ascend to. A masterful wizardry of creativity that shows forth the true power of music. An amazing showcase of bleeding-edge technical prowess. The way you cut it short with only one single loop is truly a crime against us all.

[@speedut2004]

0:34 Mountain best one!!! I was like 5 when my brother played this. I just barely remembered that it was an adventure game with a guy walking and i couldn't forgot that mountain stage music which stayed in my memory.Since all these years i sang that theme by myself without knowing the name of the game. So i checked all the nes adventure games and finally found it quickly :) Even if i would seen a screenshot of the game or even stage 2 i wouldn't recognize it. The only reason i found it was because of moutain theme . Thanks man!

[@kman216]

caves bro... come on! ;-)

[@richardxavier5442]

Classic game! I actually got in a nostalgic mood today and decided to play it through once again. Beat it on my first try! Still remember all the paths and boss tactics after so many years. :-D

[@560GamingTV]

I was so glad when they came out with a Rygar game for the PS2. I didn't hesitate to buy it the day it came out. One of the few games I actually took time off from work to play, like GTAIII, Vice CIty, and San Andreas. And it was an amazing experience, just like the old NES game.

[@danwroy]

They did an amazing job emulating the original, it really impressed me

[@jakekeys88music]

I was playing Sunset last night on my synth when I found the perfect settings that reminded me of this soundtrack. Good times!

[@CERNIUM]

10:26 i love it

[@KeepEatingIt]

This soundtrack is a masterpiece!

[@Hugh_G_Rekshun69]

Alright, that's it. Time to load up the emulator.

[@TotallyRadical]

This sounds really great in high quality 'phones. Great work dude 👍

[@soundwavs1961c]

THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME UPLOAD!! Rygar was my favorite NES game. I couldn't wait especially to get to the end to hear that pretty tune. I would let it play forever. The prettiest computer songs ever... all of them!

[@kristinarain9098]

OH FUCK YEAH! first thing that got my attention when playing this game was the music!

[@jonvandenplas5051]

Still the best NES soundtrack imo

[@smallvillefan72]

Thank you!!!! Love the game and soundtrack!!!

[@ronanderson8490]

I dare say this is top three 8-bit nes soundtracks

[@SprocketGames]

Thank you for the video and music!

[@arthas702]

I love this game. Very well designed.

[@JoseBarakat]

Always loved Rygar soundtrack!!

[@garyseven2308]

Um... 01:05 sounds like a lullaby. Go to sleep.....my little baby.....LOL.

[@RavenClaw88]

OMG yes! I always thought that too ! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

[@Leondrius]

And the rest of it is climb this mountain full of monsters and triumph like a true warrior.

[@ignaciocue]

That's what I was thinking when I was playing the game a moment ago!

[@dreamlandnightmare]

I always thought the same thing.

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

I was thinking the first song was a bit Superman.

[@buxter8078]

The best sound : cave 😍

[@jeebusmcchrist]

Man I love this channel.

[@kaseybrown7664]

Your channel. It helps me study.

[@Anguilla2001]

Mountain song has stuck in my head for 30+ years. As long as you grind and killed untold amount of creatures, the end guy was OK, just bounce and hit. If you died, your strength would be so weak you may as well jump off that floating castle.

[@DangerKennyB]

You provide a great service my friend

[@jeffreymunn3683]

Am I the only one who thinks Rygar kind of looks like Donny Osmond on the cover?

[@DarthBrtt]

Great soundtrack and one of the first really long soundtracks in the NES' early days -- the US & JP tracks with no loops still add up to nearly 16 minutes in length! By the way, this soundtrack was not actually done by the Tecmo sound team, but was by Advance Communication Company.

[@bravesirrobin1793]

This was my favorite game on nes, I always liked the music in this one

[@mrnaji]

Tecmo had a great team

[@johneygd]

When i heard those first 2 tunes 21 years ago, i was soo excited, and i tout that this game was kick ass, but hearing this game in stereo on my 5.1 set, blows my mind,just kick ass!!!

[@BluePatriot1776]

Just what I needed

[@Leondrius]

Mountain is some straight up hero music.

[@DangerKennyB]

C'mon now, we're all here for "Palace." LOL...my buddy and I when we played this as kids were cracking jokes while beating that level, saying the final boss was the dude on the piano and your reward was whomping him upside the head when you got there. DING DING DING DONG DING DING DING DONG DING DING DING DONG

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

The most sublime NES game.

[@pbandwhey]

Everyone in the comments talking about Cave, but my childhood was all about that Mountain song!

[@daytimesky]

I swear, that first song always sounded familiar to me when I was a kid. I kept thinking _Superman_, and it looks like I wasn't the only one!

[@punypoppy9147]

Awesome! I rememeber this game.

[@FurpNate]

11:00 - We all know this is the reason we came here.

[@gamergeek7482]

Well it is the cave music which is among my favorite but the ending theme is still my favorite.

[@hooster30]

Yep. One of my favorite pieces of video game music ever... :)

[@kapeusw]

never came this far in the game lel. but its amazing.

[@VirusInferno]

Easily the best NES music (fav childhood game)

[@marqevox9745]

The Cave was the best sound! I wonder if Mr Hasuya knows just how much his musical gift impacted our childhoods?

[@theunknown6612]

13:06 !! i love playing the drums over this!

[@MrCactusRojo]

Thak you!! this is the best OST of NES!

[@sylvesterolveda8311]

cave music is awesome!!! but tower music gives me chills!!! point of no return type of shit! good luck from here on out!!

[@WardenOfTerra]

'Paths' is so good.

[@ruminator3570]

This is one of the greatest minimalist video game soundtracks ever. Almost all of the songs only use two out of the five available sound channels on the system. The music for this game could not have been written more perfectly. Even the famicom game music is great where's some of the tracks differ.

[@cameronrichter3449]

Can't decide which version's soundtrack I prefer. This version has the cave music, but the first two tracks of the japanese version's soundtrack are unbelievably epic.

[@montec101]

A very bizarre game. Some of those creepy looking monsters creeped me out as a little kid.

[@Leondrius]

I got you on that. For me it was those weird trees with the empty eyes that shoot things at you in the overview.

[@KageMaxwell]

Someone was having the best day of their life when they made the cave theme.

[@Gigidag77]

"Sunset" sounds alot like the Superman Theme

[@JoseBarakat]

+Gigidag77 Yes!

This is very, very true! Thanks for this!

[@burtonrivera5253]

The music is def unique and now, I d say, musically its more hit than miss. today its cave that stood out as good. For its time, it had a complete soundtrack and the game was extensive and made you think a bit.

[@thornmountain8129]

The music definitely made this game.

[@mikemullen6268]

Thanks for uploading Rygar! I was about to send you a request for this soundtrack.. Also, if you can, can you upload Wizard and Warriors? You rock!

[@scottjarvis123]

One of my all time favorite games and soundtracks. Hearing it in stereo is awesome! The only thing that tops this is the version from the PS2's Rygar in that secret area! I believe it's "Paths"

[@mrboleus8240]

I remember game to this day thanks to paths music.

[@Erduk]

Cave music is definitely the best. I wonder if it could be turned into a guitar cover?

[@wesgeorge4112]

11:25 Reminds me of Satellite by Guster.

[@progmanrob]

"Guru" was the best :D

[@therealnothingtoseehere]

Yeh, Guru is exactly the same music as the intro screen for Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde on NES.

[@dragonator1012]

I think lapis gates is a pretty underrated song in the game. Its not the cave, tower, or final castle theme. But its still pretty good.... Also for some reason to me the mountain area theme sounds like something you might hear in banjo kazooie.

[@WalterPeck1]

10/10 would play after finding it in the street

[@MangusSteed]

Best boss theme

[@pogopope]

10:24 for TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNE

[@kabutops87]

ok maybe not one of best soundtracks but defiantly one of my personal favorites of the 8 bit generation. i mean for an early 1987 game the soundtrack is quite large for its time with long tunes for the most part.

[@badjacoon]

I'm not sure why, but Guru always reminded me of Misty Morning by Bob Marley! Both have that dark feel about em I guess!

[@momtonat]

Epic.

[@JuraIbis]

I have a love/hate relation to this game.

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

They should have made this into a movie starring the Ultimate Warrior in the 80's.

[@Glacier2030]

The ost for this game that was released in Japan contains different music for a few of the stages. Does anybody know the reason for it? I mean the music is still quite good, and sets a somewhat different tone, but it's hardly something that needed to be changed...

[@mtlhd777]

[@kabutops87]

i love rygar, its really a flawed masterpiece the graphics for there time are above average, the soundtrack is one of the best of the 8 bit era and the exploration and dungeons are the icing on the cake. however the fact thats theres no password or save,the many glitchs in the game aswell as a few questionable design flaws makes this a misunderstood gem.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Alright.

[@jahharris9365]

The glitches was whenever you seen a foe.. You go back then return and the enemy will disappear
