Rick Dangerous 1989

Is it still worth playing?

Loosely based on the Indiana Jones film franchise, this platformer was released in 1989 for the Amiga, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and MS-DOS among others. Rick can jump and climb, and he carries a limited amount of dynamite and ammunition for his gun, which is his primary means of disposing of enemies. Most traps that can kill Rick can also kill his enemies, which can work to the player's advantage. The dynamite is generally used for puzzles such as exploding certain blocks, and some blocks fly toward the explosion and can kill Rick in the backfire. A pogo stick lets him paralyze enemies. Many traps have no visible warning, so early progress can involve trial and error. Trial and error with hidden traps is still how a player learns it today.
