The cartridge did not contain a battery, nor did it feature a password feature. This version of Rygar did not allow for game saves. It was particularly notable for its permanent power-up mechanic, which at the time blurred the line between the power-ups used in action-adventures and the experience points used in RPGs. The NES version of Rygar was also more of an action role-playing game with a nonlinear open world map in Garloz. At the beginning of the game, Rygar has access to some of the worlds, but as the game progresses, new areas open up as the result of finding items such as the grappling hook, crossbow, and wind pulley, which lets him cross previously impassable obstacles. While the arcade version is more of a standard side-scrolling action title, the NES's Rygar is an open-ended action-adventure game like Metroid (see Metroidvania), which was also released at the time. The main character, his weapon, and many of the enemies remain the same, but the gameplay is quite different. After playing through the five major realms of the game, he must journey to King Ligar's flying castle for the final confrontation. The player can choose the order in which some stages are played, but since certain items are required to reach new areas, choices are somewhat limited. Each of the Indora gods is located in a different realm, and is almost always guarded by a boss. To accomplish this goal, the Warrior must visit five Indora gods who present him with essential items needed for completion of the game.

The player sends the title character through a number of fantastic settings with the ultimate goal of defeating the evil King Ligar in order to restore peace to the realm of Argool (Argus in the Japanese version). It was released on April 14, 1987, in Japan and later that year in the United States for the NES. Rygar, released in Japan as Warrior of Argus: Extreme Great Charge ( アルゴスの戦士 はちゃめちゃ大進撃, Arugosu no Senshi: Hachamecha Daishingeki) is a fantasy-themed action-adventure platform game with action RPG elements developed by Tecmo for the Nintendo Famicom.

However, the layout of some rounds are different, and there are only 23 rounds. The Atari Lynx version closely follows the arcade version. The arcade version was re-released on the Wii Virtual Console. It was also included in a compilation of games called Tecmo Classic Arcade for the Xbox.
RYGAR THEME SOFTWARE
The 8-bit versions were producted by Probe Software Ltd The game was ported to the Sharp X68000, Commodore 64, Master System (Japan only, and renamed Argus no Juujiken ( アルゴスの十字剣)), ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and the Atari Lynx. In this version, the hero is only referred to as "The Legendary Warrior", while both "Rygar" and "Ligar" refer to the main villain. In the Japanese original, references to "Ligar" and "Rygar" are one and the same because the Roman syllables "Li" and "Ry" come from the same Japanese character. In console versions clues and limited dialogue are given in the form of large, sage-like men encountered in green stone temples throughout the game.
RYGAR THEME MANUALS
Information gleaned from console manuals reveals that the evil being Ligar has taken over the land of Argool, and Rygar, a dead warrior who has risen from his grave, must use his Diskarmor to stop him.
