Rygar

Rygar [Tecmo, 1986, Japanese arcade release as Warrior of Argus ]
Released by Tecmo for both the nes and the error Lynx. Although generally considered to be outside the konami /Capcom EHSPF, it has been argued that Rygar contains many commonalities in terms of gameplay, mythology, non-linear gameplay, and life/death portal functionality. Music by solomons-key .
