This site is dedicated to one of my favourite games ever - Legendary Warrior RYGAR, orginally made by TECMO in 1986. This is a tribute to not only the orginal Rygar arcade game, but it's numerous conversions and of course the new PS2 sequel - Rygar: The Legendary Adventure.

The site will aim to find out everything possible about all the Rygar games from hints and tips to unsolved mysteries and the games history.

Heard anything about the new Rygar or know more about the old versions? EMAIL me about it!

There hasn't been much news from Tecmo until Brian posted this bit of info... "The bosses at the end of each level are like none I have seen before. They're huge and will pummel you into pieces if your not careful. There are many varities of the Diskarmor, you must learn each technique as you go along in the game. Wait till your able to take this diskarmor and swing it around like a peice of metal slashing everything in it's path, deadly! Not to mention Fun!"

After so long without an update to my old Rygar site people were asking if there was ever going to be another again. With so much done there didn't seem too much more to write about. Then earlier last week I heard about the Rygar sequel, went to the Tecmo website and could hardly believe my eyes! Now that a Rygar sequal has (finally!) been offically announced, I've decided to restart the Rygar Info Site again and hopefully go into as much depth with the new game as I did with the arcade version! (The Arcade Forever playing guides will be back sometime soon and available again when I get round to uploading them...)

Quote from Tecmo's Rygar Bulletin Board - "Inspired by the original Rygar for NES, Rygar: The Legendary Adventure is an action/adventure game for PlayStation 2. Based on Greek Mythology this Greco-Roman adventure game is heavily influenced by popular action movies such as Gladiator and Clash of the Titans. With grand landscapes and awesome gameplay, Rygar will surely live up to its expectations. "

At the moment it's still mainly about the arcade game and the computer/console versions, but in time I hope to keep updated about the new Rygar game. I'll try to get some new gfx for the site soon too <g>....
