Be patient Music: David K. Pridmore Game manual: manual. It was released in and published by Micro Style as a sequel to Rick Dangerous. At the end of Rick Dangerous 1, we learn that an alien invasion is imminent. The image shift in the character of Rick Dangerous is evident from the start: The coat is nowhere to be found and the Indiana Jones-style hat from the previous episode is almost symbolically blown off by a laser beam coming from one of the spaceships in the introduction sequence.
There are a number of changes to the game play that make the Rick Dangerous 2 more complex and more challenging than its predecessor. For a start, Rick is now armed with a laser gun and bombs that can not only be placed but slid, making way for strategic bomb-placement. The pogo stick is replaced by a punch attack. Rick can also employ a special flying vehicle in certain areas of the game that allows for faster movement, but this may also become a danger factor.
Also, while there is a linear story to the game, the first four levels may be played in any order. Completing these four levels Hyde Park, the ice caverns on the planet Freezia, the deep forest of Vegetablia and the 'atomic mud mines' unlocks the fifth and final level, the Fat Guy's Headquarters, which ends in a boss fight. This level can then be played as often as desired, until the player quits the game, but the endgame movie only plays if the player completes all five levels in order.
The end of Rick Dangerous 2 does not complete the story. The game finishes with a cliffhanger, with the Fat Guy escaping at the final moment via a teleporter device, and Rick following him with the familiar captions 'What will Rick do next? Though this may have hinted another sequel to the story, Rick Dangerous 3 was never made.
Many of the concepts featured in these levels were later used in a Super Nintendo Entertainment System game titled Danger Dan, which was also unfinished. Both games were re-released under the budget label Kixx. These days, PCs can be blindingly fast machines, running at over 2 GHz with 4. It wasn't always this way! Back in when Rick Dangerous was first released, the bit machines, i. This is very well reflected in these two games!
I don't know too much about the history of PCs, but in the late 80's and early 90's the favoured machines were presumably and models, running at anything up to 25 MHz - any nerds out there will, I assume, correct me on this one, but as there were still many older XT and AT machines around, the games had to be programmed with these in mind. Consequently, it's graphically inferior to the ST and Amiga versions. The Tandy graphics don't work on my machine. The graphics in Rick 2 are selectable as either the nasty CGA version though at least this time there's a different four-colour set for the Ice Caverns of Freezia The sound is acceptable on Rick 2, holding its own against these two machines, but only if you have a sound card that is compatible with the Adlib drivers, and if you can get the driver program to work, which I have, once.
Otherwise you're stuck with the PC speaker, which is as basic as basic gets; its single-note beeps and twiddles are music to the ears of owners of the deathly-silent ZX81, but are blown clean out of the water by a K Spectrum. How times have changed These downloads from Totochfly's Abandonware site will require the file extension to be changed from. PC to. ZIP files on its servers. A word of warning: this particular download of Rick 1 is Spanish, and will show up as "Packed file is corrupt" when run.
You know what I mean! In addition to hazards that Rick must watch out for, various switches and levers dotted around each level must be discovered and used.
These activate lifts, guns, and various other widgets which can be made to work to your advantage. The Amiga and Atari ST versions are much nicer, though - music and graphics-wise.
