Argos no Jūjiken (アルゴスの十字剣, lit. "The Crossed Blade of Argos") is a side-scrolling action game released for the Sega Master System by Salio. It is a port of the 1986 arcade game Argos no Senshi (アルゴスの戦士, lit. "Warrior of Argos") by Tecmo, which was released in the west under the title Rygar. This is one of two Master System games to be published by Salio.
At the time of release, Argos no Jūjiken was the only home port of Rygar available to Japanese consumers, with the Famicom version, titled Argos no Senshi: Hachamecha Daishingeki (アルゴスの戦士 はちゃめちゃ大進撃) sharing similar gameplay traits and settings, but overhauling levels and key elements of the game's design to produce a very different product. This would continue to be case until 1994 when the X68000 version by Micomsoft was released.
The Master System Argos no Juujiken cuts the end of level sequences and instead abruptly cuts to the next stage.
