Actually that's just profile views, not individual blog views. Anyone who has ever used blogger knows that they offer complete blog view statistics, I have 870 views today alone among two blog entries. 455,786 total blog visits for the blogs lifetime.
So as much as I "glossed" over the game you people "gloss" over pure statistics.
I can't believe some people on this forum are incapable of holding a conversation about a video game and choose to lash out at people instead. This thread is about a video game, or can you people not read properly? Hmmmm.
Back on topic please.

part of the conversation is your lack of actually playing the game and just jumping to a conclusion that is it poo (such an adult word) and the fact that your threads are tossed out here so you can feel happy inside.
reviewing a game you haven't spent any time with just doesn't work. Hell if I reviewed any of my SMS games, minus a few, they'd all be pretty poor as I haven't spent more than 5 or 10 minutes with them and I'm sure I'd get a hell of a lot of flak for that.
COMPLETED MY USA SMS SET!!!!

What did I enjoy about NES Rygar? That the hit bar expanded as the game progressed. Also, that the game provided a nice variety of enemies and level scenery.
Memories? I recall spending literally hours at a time mastering the various levels, until finally beating the final winged boss. The lack of saves meant really dedicating some time to this game.

The game isn't that hard - the last stretch of the game is easily the hardest part and even it's not that hard if you've kept leveling up normally - and it can be beaten in an hour or two if you don't have much time to play.
Sorry dear, but you can't escape the hole you dug yourself that quickly. Don't you remember what your original post said? If you don't, let me refresh your mind:
EDIT: To make it perfectly clear, I don't care who you are or what you do. But because you're so focused in on ~the real truth~, I'm setting the record straight.

It had great graphics for 1987. I used to rent it periodically as a kid and it took Game Genie codes to finally beat it.
Actually the final boss is very easy in rygar once you reach the level cap,it doesn't take much.
Btw ever watch the hvgn gettin' super nerdy look at rygar ? Then again i wasn't expecting to see him say it's a terrible game.Watch the whole video 'he does give tips that make it a simpler game.

Rygar wasn't that bad if a game, but like with many side scrolling NES titles of its time it suffered from a few drawbacks but at the end of the day it was pretty enjoyable. I've never beaten it, sadly, but I've played deep into it a couple of times and had some fun and I did find the game got a lot easier as I progressed through. I would still rather put time into playing other scrolling adventure titles like Castlevania or Faxanadu, though.
Rygar was one of my early NES games back in the 80s. I didn't "love" it back then, but played it because coming across games was tough back then. Yeah it's long... and I hated the GRINDING aspect to it. I was never able to beat the final boss either (probably because I didn't grind enough). It's definitely a game that I would consider "has not aged well" and too much of a time investment to play today for people with too many other commitments. As said earlier, probably best played with some sort of emulator in order to save and play in more manageable chunks.
I'd also like to add that it was another one of those NES games that didn't resemble the arcade version much. I was first introduced to the arcade version. Similarly, I hated Ninja Gaiden at first because it was nothing like the arcade version, which I loved. However in time I came to appreciate the NES interpretation. It was also better imho for them to re-design these games to something more doable given the constraints of the NES, rather than come up with a very poor port.

Ugh. Man, enough is enough.
I know for a FACT that you delete negative comments from your blog, because I've had some deleted.
To be honest, it's quite obvious that you're only here to promote yourself (read: SPAM). I can't believe you're still getting away with it.
Your blog is poorly written, your opinions aren't that complex, engaging, or well thought out, and I agree with the dude who said that in general, your whole act is unoriginal and stupid.
I wouldn't have publicly posted something like this until you took the low road and called him a loser and then bragged about great comments that you get.
I'll repeat, for 100% sure, that this guy completely censors any negative comments on his blog.
And if you get 400k hits, it's because you spam your site constantly, not because it's good. Your writing skills are literally on the level of a middle school student at best. It's a joke.

It's not particularly against the rules to promote yourself around here, particularly if you're starting a lively conversation as well. Say what you will about the way TheRetroVideoGameAddict elects to conduct himself, his self promotion threads have all generally had decent conversations mixed in with the bitching.
I'd much rather the lot of you tone down the douche a bit (and, yes, I do see the hypocrisy in me saying that) than have a mod running around with the DKjr. lock in one hand and the banhammer in the other.
Although, that is kind of a funny visual.
