Tecmo's US service manual for the arcade kit describes Rygar as a warrior who throws his weapon in the direction he faces or swings it over his head, steered with an eight-way joystick and two buttons, attack and jump. Rock headstones appear from below ground; destroyed, they leave articles that bring out shields, which give powers such as a longer weapon reach, a strong overhead attack, invincibility for a time, and defeating enemies by trampling them. Rygar can bounce on enemies to knock them out for a while, leap onto tree branches and rocks, and climb ropes.How To PlayHow To PlayHow To PlayHow To PlayDescription of Game PlayDescription of Game PlayDescription of Game PlayDescription of Game PlayDescription of Game PlayDescription of Game PlayManual
The manual gives the arcade game 27 rounds. A lost life's replacement warrior appears where the old one died rather than at the start of the round, which Tecmo calls a new feature. With the buy-in feature switched on, when no spare warriors are left a countdown lets a player insert more coins and continue from the furthest point reached, up to round 20; with another switch on, a second player can start from round 1 while the first is in later rounds. The operator enables both on DIP switch #2, switch #8 for the buy-in and switch #7 for the second player.Description of Game Play, New FeatureDescription of Game Play, New FeatureDescription of Game Play, New FeatureBuy-In FeatureBuy-In FeatureBuy-In FeatureBuy-In Feature2 Player Additional Play2 Player Additional PlayManual
