Dude gets further in six minutes than I did my whole childhood.

Speed runs crack me up sometimes. "The grappling hook is..." "Yeah, fuck you, I'm outta here."

The composer of this game is goddamn brilliant.

I love this music so much.

We figured out as kids that the more you killed enemies the more powerful your weapon got. So I got the NES Advantage and found a spot on the first level when you can put your back to the wall, and enemies will forever come tward you. I taped the joystick in the down/back direction and put something heavy on the attack button. Left it that was over night. Well I returned later the next day and guess what. You can kill every thing in the game in 1 hit after that including all bosses, lol.

I beat this game when I was a kid and it was extremely difficult, just by watching brings me back so many memories, thanks for uploading...

This was one of those where the hell do I go games

That was great, playing this as a kid in the 80s caused me so much rage. No saves nor passwords and no idea where to go made this one damn near impossible. You had to finish it in one sitting. I finally get to see what the hell was on that floating island.

I remember my first playthrough. I thought it was the most beautiful, heroic game ever made at the time.

I fucking loved this game. My dad yelled at me all the time over this game.......the music took me right back to being a kid. Thanks for the upload!!!!!

I always got stuck in Sagilla's Cave due to the awesome music.

the music was so epic in this game in the 80's.

that music in the cave level especially at 8:45 has stuck with me my whole life lol

I have beaten this game many times and am still awed by many of your techniques! Thanks for sharing this video.

I still remember in my childhood renting this game on Friday and returning it on Sunday

Damn, I was so pissed by this game: I managed to get to the final boss and got destroyed every single time. I spent hours trying to defeat it and finally called the official Nintendo phone line (yes, it was a thing back then). And unfortunately, the european version of the game (I live in France) had the difficulty settings changed... which made the final boss unkillable. It's such a shame as apart from that, I really enjoyed the game.

I played the heck outta this game back in the day ... Cool game

Love this game, I remember picking this up with allowance money back in the day, never understood why so many hated this version and claimed the Arcade Rygar superior, Rygar arcade was fun but linear and repetitive after awhile. Tecmo took Rygar for the Famicom/NES to a whole new level adding so much depth, adventure and one of the most iconic soundtracks made. Rygar was no joke, it was punishing and hard as the flow of the game did drift a little on were to go next but once you figured it out getting to explore new area's and fighting some cool and strange big bosses kept you going! One of my top 10 NES games of all time!

Thank you for a lightning fast trip down memory lane.

Man this was my favorite game back when I was about 8. Just the music takes me back. Thanks for the video.

Brought back some childhood memories played for hrs on that game

Man, I played the mother-lovin' crap outta this game! Bottles of booze, good friends, and piles of stress weed. (8 Music is badass, and what an incredible run. There was no saving this damn game! Two choices: conquer or quit.

I can't believe after 25+ years, I've bumped into this game again. I beat it as a kid and quickly forgot about it. Such memories when I did played it though. Wow!

I loved this game!! Thank you for this!

I'm SO impressed. Seriously amazing.

My fav game of all time. I got this in 1988 for my 16th birthday. Nowadays I can finish it deathless, but nowhere near your amazing time. Kudos!

Holy shit. At 7:20 is a sped up version of the Escape From NY Theme! Never noticed that until now when i started appreciating those films.

The music n fx sound effects brings me back in time, the nostalgia.

Damn man what a flashback.its crazy how things like the music in the game just brought me back 25 years like it was just yesterday...wow

Ah, yes the memories are coming back to me.I think that one of the things that makes this game such a wonderful experience is the music

My friend who was a video game virtuoso had beaten nearly every game he decided to play. Except he could never beat Ligar! Among Swedish video game fans and magazines Ligar was one of the hardest bosses for the NES! Thanks for a great and very impressive run!

I love the level grinding part! That was really fast!

Rygar and Karnov are two games I absolutely loved as a kid. The background music for each game still comes to me in my dreams LOL.

One of the greatest games ever made! It was way ahead of its time! The soundtrack was awesome! The game was hard but you felt so rewarded when you beat the game! Grade A

Flood of memories! Brilliant playing. This game took me FOREVER to win back in the day

I can see the skill in this speed run. Very well done!

Dude this game scared me bad as a kid. I went off exploring and found a bunch of rooms with that bald monk guy always sitting. He started saying weird shit to me like he was actually talking to me and at one point it scared me so bad I took out the game and bury it never to play it again.

Absolutely beautiful!

So epic, the music, the graphics, the story, totally awesome

0:03 The happy theme you hear when you first set out on your adventure, just before you realize how inadequate you are.

I miss the good ol days of gaming!!!!! Takes me back to my childhood. I LOOOOOOOVED THIS GAME!!!!

best nes game music ever! good job!

Great run man. I've been beating this game for years and never knew I could grind like that in the palace of dorago. My grind spot was near the top of deathpigers' tower.

Wow, you finished this. Rygar was one of the most difficult NES games ever created. Congrats.

It took me like 14 years to finish this game. This guy did it in like 20 minutes 😐

"Welcome! Take a rest to regain your strength!"

Awesome soundtrack ... Awesome run as well !!

The music is 🔥, bringing me back to when I was 8 years old.

I loved this game, and the music. I remember early saturday mornings.....setting up my cockpit getting ready to game. This game was an adventure for me.

I don't think I ever beat it but I def got close to the end. This game did/does not get nearly enough love, ty for the play thru & memories.

Even with the amount of complexity in a lot of todays games, the original NES produced some of the best games out there. A lot of classics were made for the 8-bit system, and this is one of them.

Well played! Eruga vs Rygar. Rygar game was a classic on NES.

The soundtrack and sfx alone was worth the purchase.

Amazing Feasel!

Wow! Thank you that! Thank you for closing this chapter in my life that I never thought I'd see the end of. It took my brother and I hours to get the 2nd treasure. We'd be wasting so much time killing everything in sight and walking every inch of the map. Wow, 23 minutes, haha! Again, thank you!!!

Amazing! Well done!!

I love everything about this game. especially the music. The best game growing up.

Wow, well done sir. I never realized how much like Zelda this game was. It's kinda sad that only a very small percentage of people got to enjoy the full potential of this game, considering all the effort the developer put into it. Thanks for this.

Thanks man, took me back. What a great ending. "And the people regained their smiling faces"

Wow! The whole world is going to know your name for years to come!

THE BEST soundtrack on an NES game

I finished this game several times but holy cow speed run. Good job!

Saudades desse jogo ! um dos primeiros games que joguei e me apaixonei de cara.

That was really satisfying to watch, and I don't feel nearly as bad as I did about having trouble navigating that game as a kid xD

This music fills me with honor!

Nicely done.

I had this game as a kid, I never beat it. Thanks for the closure.

Just bought this game at a flea market for $6. Loved it growing up even though you couldn’t save your progress. Everything time I got to my personal best in progress my dad would make me turn it off and go mow or rake leaves....the joys of growing up in the 80s and 90s!

I'm from Poland and i play in this game on pegasus in early 90's.good memories.

The ending scenes to these games were simply something special

Nice timing and smooth moves!

Thank you for doing in this video what my younger self could never do.

Thats a man on a mission that run animation tells it all hahaha the grapple hook was the main boss battle lol

loved playing this game.

I played it as a kid and finally found it here.. I just wanted to hear that epic music again! Yeah!

I remember the time back then when you could play this game at every store. It was omnipresent but I never played it.

good looking great playing/leveling style and the sweetest responding jumps aside from mario 3...one of the best games on the system...still love it

Brings back good memories

Fear my ancient yo-yo!!!!

I remember getting this game for Christmas when it came out. I also remember finishing it and being pissed off at such a terrible ending this game had.

Top 10 fav NES games. Very difficult game. Took me a few months to beat this game. I was 6 years old at the time (1987).. I finally started reading the old man's hints on the whistle to find the last level. The soundtrack of this game is awesome as well, especially @ 15:16. I see other people in the comments have noticed this as well. That's one of the the main things that stood out about this game.

LOVED this game.

the tune at 7:09 was always my favorite

Awesome game... One of the better nes games fo sure... Brings back alot of memories

before youtube I would've never believed there were more than a hundred people who had ever seen this game through to the end. brutal brutal game that added hours of unnecessary stress to my childhood. man, back when dying meant dying. i'm hurting all over again just thinking about it...

I forgot how good this soundtrack was !

Oh god that music at 12:00.... Madness inducing.

You're an absolute savage. This game is so difficult.

Loved this game!!! Since this game wouldn't let you save your game I would pause it and turn my tv screen off when I'd go to sleep, then turn it on the next day and resume. Lol. 👍🏼👍🏼

Awesome fast run. Had this on the NES as a kid, loved the heck out of it, it was tough but I was able to beat it. Great music, interesting boss battles and even regular enemies. I learned that you could move strangely or skip areas when the map moves left or right. How to do it: While moving between "maps" (only works going left or right between maps as far as i know), jump then quickly go left and right at the edge of a map quickly alternating between the 2 "maps". You will "float" and can access spots you shouldn't normally be able to. Would love to see a modern Rygar sequal with better RPG elements.

Now this is a speedrun!!! No glitches No power ups No cheating..... 👍👍👍👍

Great speed run! How many times have you beatin it? I’m replaying it again with my original cart in the Retron 5, so when I quit, i just turn off the Retron and it saves my spot until I get back to it again later. Any game! 👍

Nice work.

Great memories.... I just watched the whole thing. lol

7 minute mark is as far as me and my friends got. Also, soundtrack is 🔥. Now i dont feel that bad about not getting any farther.

i fucking loved this game. i remember the first time me and my friend got to the last board after a sleepover and playing all night his mom made us go outside so we paused it. came back and she unplugged it to vacuum. needles to say we were pissed

OMG I remember this game! I Loved it!

I knew right away that they knew what they were doing as soon as they were not going into every door they came across.

Childhood fave!!!!!

I always get so much rage trying to get the rope to connect to the wooden pillars!
