      It's surprising how often that works. A lot of games assume you're going to run around and jump on stuff instead of just wailing on the boss, when you can kill them before they even start attacking or moving.

    Rygar is one of 'those' games. An NES game where, if you stop and think about it, everything about its world is fucking weird. I mean, can you imagine the meeting where someone pitched the idea for this game?

    You know you can use the “Attack & Assail” on the last boss and kill him without even approaching him. Attack & Assail delivers damage to any enemy on the screen for 10 attacks with your weapon. So you can get in the room, use Attack & Assail, stand on the far wall near the door and just shoot your weapon 10 times. He’ll die before you finish the 10 repititions. You need to have high stats to kill him like that, but he’s really easy with this method.

    The Eruga beast a 2:30 gets stuck through a game bug if you hop on it's head/back so where it's leaning o the right. Once it gets to the tree on the right and can't go further, it only takes a few hops before it's stuck. You can then just hop off and pound away while it's twitching lol.
    The spider at 3:40 you can go into the middle then grapple hook to the top then the monster will come at you from left or right and just keep jabbing whenever it comes close.

    Please if you see this you have to try and get to play "Desert Bus VR" on steam! that should be fun! or you could revisit as AVGN it would be just like Episode 119 all over again! give a thumb up so James and Mike see this!
    Desert Bus is back and better than ever! The 1998 Penn and Teller cult hit mini-game is coming to virtual reality, so you can fully immerse yourself in the thrilling eight-hour trip from Arizona to Nevada. It’s almost like you’re driving the “wheel” thing!

    That's funny, it always seemed like Select and Start were redundant to each other to on NES, might as well combine pausing and menu mode together. Much like the separate Pause and Start buttons on the Atari 5200, you start the game once but you can pause the game anytime in between that two buttons or more is unnecessary, might as well be Start/Pause/Menu.

You could see unfinished/programming areas that were not normally visible. Need to do a video of that for fun sometime.

    The end boss is where "Power Up" comes in to play, it extends your "Disk Armor" to hit him easier. Attack & Assail hits everything on screen everywhere so it can be useful, though power up is cheaper to use.. You have to target the Lions Head to damage him.

      The reduced maximum health probably explains why I never got more than halfway through the game (I could get past the robots part and reach the boss at the top of the tower too). The rope things you used the pulley on were always awful. There was never an indication of whether you were lined up right to make it work.

  • @sarahansson1049
    @sarahansson1049 6 років тому +2

    The PAL version of Rygar is lots, lots more difficult than the NTSC version. The reason is that the game wouldn't fit on the European cart, so Tecmo had to remove small amounts of data.
    Practically this means that Rygar cannot get as much health as he can in the NTSC version, and he can't use the abilities (attack and assail) as much either. This makes Ligar almost impossible to beat in the PAL version. It's doable, but it's extremely difficult and you just need luck and a lot of patience to do it.
    There's probably a UA-cam video of "PAL Ligar" and you'll see how difficult he is there thanks to Rygar not being able to power up as much as in the NTSC version.

Somehow it still left a persistent impression on me, its mysterious solitary atmosphere and music is quite unique, as you grow older and older, it somewhat drags you back to it. Eventually, I picked it up 2 or 3 years ago just to figure out what it is all about.
