The Music of Video Games [27] Rygar

the NES Rygar was lame when compared to the arcade. Sorry.

I spent hours and hours and hours beating this game over and over late at night. The music and theme were just so hypnotizing and mystic. I think my initial interest in the game Karnov helped develop my interest in this game, although Rygar needs no precedent. Loved the ps2 remake of it as well. The music wasn't like the original(being so hypnotizing), but not many games have ever had that. Some in my opinion are Zelda, Secret of Mana, Ninja Gaiden1,2,&3, the Castlevanias, etc.

Such a strange game. In a way it gives me nightmares.

lol thats so true.. it stayed with me even now, and im 28 and i have such strange memories/ feelings about it

I used to play this game for hours and hours. I got pretty good but I never beat it!

this game is malevolent

The song "Mt. Primeval" at 3:25 is my favorite. It probably sounds the most Greek!

Garudoh, Is your archive of all these tracks in some kind of ranking order? If so..man, I think this < Platoon. Very generous with the Platoon ranking.

Nope, not rankings.

Great game. Great soundtrack. Fantastic nostalgia trip. Did they really work Brahm's Lullaby (2:23) into my super repeat-action cool slicing shield-on-a-chain adventure game? Nice!

Unless they can somehow work the theme song from Fraggle Rock into God of War IV, this is the all-time coolest and seamless transition of a classic tune.
