''Rygar'' was first released as an arcade game, later ported to the UsefulNotes/SharpX68000, UsefulNotes/{{Commodore 64}}, the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]], UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem (Japan only; as ''Argos no JÅ«jiken''), Spectrum 48K, Amstrad 6128 and the Atari Lynx. It was also included in a compilation of games called ''Tecmo Classic Arcade'' for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}. The Lynx port of ''Rygar'' in ''TCA'' closely followed the arcade version, and the NES port was completely different. In November 2002, ''Rygar'' was updated and released to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 as ''Rygar: The Legendary Adventure'', and ported to the Wii under the title ''Rygar: The Battle of Argus''.

* NintendoHard: There used to be an actual Website/YouTube video titled something like "Rygar gameovers", which basically had a playthrough with a long list of deaths, from falling into a pit on the worldmap to getting killed one way or another.

%% * AgainstTheSettingSun: An iconic element of the series. The arcade game has it as the focus of every fourth level, it became the ''opening'' level of the NES game, and it returned to the opening areas of ''The Legendary Adventure''.

* RPGElements: The NES game has some which are presented pretty cryptically. Rygar's status screen has two stats known as "TONE" and "LAST" that go up as you kill enemies. TONE refers to the Diskarmor's power level, and each time you accrue 48 LAST, you gain an extra hit point to a maximum of twelve. Both stats max out at [[UsefulNotes/PowersOfTwoMinusOne 4095]]. It alsos has three unexplained spells you can cast with your MIND gauge: Power Up, which speeds up and lengthens the Diskarmor's chain; Attack & Assail, a SmartBomb worth ten Diskarmor hits; and Recover, which replenishes your health.

%% * AnimeHair: Rygar's In the [=PS2=] game, Rygar had a stereotypically western Greco-Roman appearance and sporting a brunette mullet. His redesigned look in ''Battle of Argus''.Argus'' instead gave him ivory white shonen hair. [[https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/d4749f3382d75e5051a4813e367a524d-320-80.jpg Compare]].

%% * KillerYoYo: The Diskarmor.Diskarmor is a genuine weapon form of this, effectively being a shield at the end of a chain. The 3D game gives different varieties of Diskarmor which have different attack patterns, from carving slow, broad arcs through the air to clinging very close to Rygar's hand to cause quick combo damage.

* AntagonistTitle: In the Japanese version (arcade and NES), Rygar refers to the main villain (also spelled "Ligar"). This is a particularly odd example, since the English version interprets "Rygar" as the hero's name instead (he's nameless in the Japanese version), but still calls the villain "Ligar".

Added DiffLines:

* JapaneseRanguage: The English version names both the game and the protagonist "Rygar" (he is nameless in Japan), which is one way of reading the villain's name in the Japanese version, the other being "Ligar". Bizarrely, the English version does not change the villain's name, meaning it has both a "Rygar" and a "Ligar".
