Rygar

Fight the good fight!

The odds are against you, but you are the chosen one, Rygar. So pick up your shield, whisper the protection spell, and scream your war cry as you fight your way through 23 levels of lush landscapes and blood curdling creatures.

Rygar is a side-scrolling action game. The player controls the titular hero, advancing through stages populated by hostile creatures. Beside the Diskarmor, a weapon that looks like a shield with a chain attached to it, the hero can use a variety of other weapons, including projectiles that can be fired in four directions. Various "powers" are scattered through the levels and can be collected. The effects of these powers include increasing the fire power of the equipped weapon, adding time to the clock, temporary invisibility, extra points, etc.
