JOIN FORCES WITH THE WAR GODS

Far away in Argool, the holy place founded centuries ago by the legendary Gods of Indora, an evil deed has been perpetrated. The cruel King Ligar and his soldier beasts have stolen Argool's "Door to Peace" and have established an evil reign of terror. The kingdom's only hope for salvation is Rygar, a hero who has risen from the dead to restore peace to the land of Argool.

GAME PLAY: Join forces with Rygar as he scours the five regions of Argool in search of the five imprisoned war gods. Each has wisdom, power, and sacred treasure--a wind pully, a crossbow, a coat of arms, a suit of armor, and the Flute of Pegasus--that will help you and Rygar defeat Ligar's dangerous army of beasts. But hurry! The sun is setting and Rygar is depending on your help to restore peace to Argool. Good luck!
