About Rygar

An evil being known as Ligar is about to conquer the land of Argool. Such is his power that no living creature dares to cross paths with him.

Armed with his famed weapon Diskarmor, Rygar begins to traverse the vast lands that lead to the lair of the demon, as his minions are trying in vain to stop him...

Rygar on Wikipedia

Rygar is a 1986 platform game developed and published by Tecmo for arcades. The player assumes the role of a "Legendary Warrior" who must navigate numerous levels and defeat enemies with a weapon called the "Diskarmor", a razor-sharp shield with a long chain attached to it that operates like a yo-yo. The warrior intends to defeat Ligar, an evil "dominator". Later ports, particularly the NES and Lynx versions, expanded on the near non-existent story from the original.

Atari Lynx prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A loose adaptation of the arcade action-platformer, and better than the Lynx's reputation for licensed ports suggests.

NuFX developed it and Atari published it in 1990. It takes the arcade Rygar's premise and rebuilds it for a handheld rather than attempting a straight port, which was the right call — the arcade game leans on screen real estate the Lynx does not have.

One of the 17 titles that reached Japan via Mumin Corporation. Never re-released.
