Description
A warrior with a huge mace travels through a strange world killing monsters. Pick up insignias and stars for bonus points. The game has 27 different levels.
Game Introduction
You play the part of a barbarian warrior trying to reclaim the land from an evil Dominator and his legions of minions. You have to fight your way through 27 rounds using a unique weapon that has a lethal razor sharp disk that is thrown at enemies!
Game Play
Four weapons are available as droppers – Length, Size, Shoot Upwards and Kill Stomp for when you stand on enemies heads. A Shield is the fifth weapon and is available only on certain screens or via shooting a gravestone that contains a red and white question mark. 1 million point bonus available at the star tree on sheet 13.
Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs
With regard to the US ROM Sets, it appears that the ‘rygar’ set is a bug fix release for ‘rygar2’ ROMs. The original version was probably renamed to ‘rygar2’ when the new, fixed ‘rygar’ set was created.
The differences between these revisions are:
- ‘rygar2’ has a bug in the code which lets player two start a game when player one is already playing. You need to set a DIP switch to enable this behaviour it is usually on by default. If you press ‘2’ while player one is playing a one-player game, ‘rygar2’ will check if you have one or more credits before it registers that you’re now in a two-player game, but it won’t deduct the credit.
- ‘rygar2’ has some code that’s not in ‘rygar’. It seems to be blanking out seven characters on the screen. Maybe it’s removing the word ‘player 2’ or ‘player 1’.
- In ‘rygar2’, if player two starts while player one is already playing, it says ‘player 2’ instead of ‘player 1’ at the top right.
- The first screen of ‘rygar2’ says “ALL RIGHT RESERVED” which is missing the ‘S’ that is present in ‘rygar’.
On level 13 there is a hidden star that will award you 1000000 points!
