    The music composer for Rygar and Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde was the same guy. His name was Michiharu Hasuya.

      I would imagine both games use the same audio engine that Michiharu made himself.

    I've always loved the NES version of Rygar. One of my top 10 fav adventure games for the console. Great music/gameplay/atmosphere. Once you figure out the RPG elements of the game it makes the game A LOT easier.

    I'm surprised I haven't seen a comment about how great that "Rolling Rock Origin" story was that James and Mike told about back in college. It was told so well, It was like a good book. I was completely visualising everything he was saying. Definitely one of my favorite videos from you guys in a long time!

    Simon's Quest, Rygar, Faxanadu and Battle of Olympus were my favourite NES games. From memory the booklet for Rygar told you alot about what you needed to do in the game.

  • @markwmbrown
    @markwmbrown 6 років тому

    Just bought this game then, I found this. Didn't realize same music was used. About an hour in and further than I got when I was a kid. This game came out when I was 6 or 7.

  • @abad-enoughdude._.3919
    @abad-enoughdude._.3919 6 років тому

    I love how the cover has to state Rygar is a legendary warrior, like he doesnt have to prove himself. Personally, I became a believer when I saw Rygar restore his health with a jug of wine.

  • @EarlyGene
    @EarlyGene 6 років тому +1

    Michiharu Hasuya did the music for both Rygar and Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, which is why both games use a nearly identical music track.

  • @teetoys76

    So glad that you guys reviewed this game . One of the few nes games I ever completed . You should review Rygar for the Wii sometime in the near future .

    • @Mar-O899
      @Mar-O899 6 років тому +2

      Alot of people dislike the arcade game because it's nothing like the NES but I still think it's good. Unlike Ninja Gaiden, arcade version of it not so good.

    This game has my vote for most underrated game. This was also a I game I rented multiple times but never owned. I see a lot of people had the same habit of renting it a lot. Its an awesome game with great music and gameplay. Hits me in the feels.

  • @bubble0bill
    @bubble0bill 6 років тому

    Elvis falsely accusing someone of trying to kill him with the gun he just put in their hands is hilarious.

    Dude the Rollin Rock and Rygar in a paper bag story is fu@%in hilarious!!!

  • @lunarnut
    @lunarnut 6 років тому

    Rygar was one of my favorite NES games. One of the most frustrating too, because it was one of those "play it all in one sitting" games. The remake/revision on PS2 was pretty good from what I can remember, as well.

  • @xAngoryx
    @xAngoryx 6 років тому +2

    HOLY SHIT RYGAR!! Played this game to no end with my cousins every weekend!!

  • @Xx1SailorScoutxX

    Cygnus Destroyer brought out the music comparison when he reviewed Jekyll and Hyde. The music composer for Rygar did Jekyll and Hyde as well.

  • @Jarod_Schultz
    @Jarod_Schultz 3 роки тому

    I started playing this a few days ago, and I also discovered the same glitch at 18:10. During that boss fight I walked all the way to the right and fell into it.

  • @Chaosxinc
    @Chaosxinc 6 років тому

    There were many NES games that you had to beat in one sitting, like SMB 1 ,2, and 3 for example. Pretty much any NES and SNES game without saving or passwords is/was like that.

  • @phobicnest8428
    @phobicnest8428 6 років тому

    I only have vague memories of this game; I know I beat it but don't really remember how... Thanks for playing it; it's giving me all sorts of awesome deja vu...

  • @pornogthebarbarian4555
    @pornogthebarbarian4555 6 років тому

    This is the game I was hoping to see you guys play one day. I would play it for hours as a kid and never beat it, but beating the game has become a yearly ritual for me that takes a little over an hour. The fight with Eruga is basically a pissing contest. I always did it by going to the level with the solid blue background just before Gran Lapis and killing those flying yellow things that drop white bowling balls until I have about 6 or 7 bars of life then going in with all of them full and hammering away on the attack button until only one of us is still standing.

  • @quentil
    @quentil 6 років тому

    Yeah, this was definitely a game that I never owned for my NES, but I still managed to beat it about 10 times. Between rentals and friends' copies, it became a beloved memory. Up there with the likes of Contra and Super Mario and Jackal and Wrecking Crew in personal NES paradise.

  • @SpergusonAutismo
    @SpergusonAutismo 6 років тому

    the japanese game NioH on PS4 and PC has a small reference to Rygar on it. In the form of a revenant named "REBOOT_RYGAR", whose spirit, upon defeat, tells the protagonist "thank you, i did not want to come back in this form".

    My friend had this game. He would tell me he could get near the end, but some chimera-looking boss made him cry and his grandma would turn the game off.

  • @RetroDeath
    @RetroDeath 6 років тому

    I always liked Rygar, the graphical style and gameplay always reminded me a lot of Ninja Gaiden, to me this a more fantasy filled Ninja Gaiden when growing up, the box art definitely had something to do with that.

    Played this game through a couple years ago. Classic. I have a disk for my Dreamcast that has the entire library for the Sega Mastersystem (what my buddy told me when he gave it to me). It has a different version of Rygar. I'll have to play it again and compare to another video I'm watching that compares all the different versions of this game.

      @kiros2032 6 років тому +96

      Depends on the beer and the amount you're used to. Over drinking is nothing to be proud of after all. If James considered it a lot for him, then it was.

    • @Chaosxinc
      @Chaosxinc 6 років тому +22

      Replace 5 beers, with 5 grams of coke and then replace Rygar with Mario Party 4. So we all had different experiences, but yet similar somehow if you get my drift, lol. Oh man, college around 1999-2005 was the last bit before the students became like fragile little snowflakes.

    I love this game. This game have some great music tracks too. There is a lot of glitches in this game. Tips: serach around with the grappling hook. See if you can reach other odd spaces with that hook. Its poosible to reach odd locations in places where you see Rygar from above as well. Search and you will find :-)

    You guys probably already looked it up, but I wanted to say anyway.

  • @JesseDylanMusic
    @JesseDylanMusic 6 років тому

    It's the same composer, Rygar and Jekyl and Hyde, so I suppose he just double-dipped. I do think there is also a connection between Tecmo, Toho, and Bandai.

  • @astrofan1993

    After doing some research, I found out that Rygar came out before Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. So I guess James is right: they did use the music from Rygar. XD

  • @mudjmc
    @mudjmc 6 років тому

    What you guys should do/look into is playing both versions of the games you play and talk about them or say which you like better. Like Rygar for instance is also an arcade game. Or maybe look at other ports or sequels too. Maybe not in the same vid, but you get what I'm saying lol.

I would like to recommend a great homebrew, Mario Adventure. I know you guys don't do that remash BULLSHIT...but I really think it's everything Super Mario 3 could have been, and it's BRUTAL. Good luck ;)
