Rick Dangerous, released in 1989, and its 1990 sequel Rick Dangerous 2, are platform games by Core Design, designed for the Commodore 64, Atari ST, and PC.Rick is armed with a pogo stick (which can temporarily stun some enemies), gun, and dynamite. Both gun and dynamite have limited uses, which are replenished by certain Power Ups. The first game starts out with some adventures in the jungle and pyramids, when you find out about a Nazi plot to destroy London, and have to take out their missile base. The second game starts with an alien attack on London, and has you hijacking the alien ship and taking it to their planet to stop them. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery | |
Rick Dangerous (Video Game) / int_1be7d298 | comment |
Easy-Mode Mockery: the second game allows you to start at any of the four levels. However, to actually open the fifth level, you must start at the first and play all four, with no continues. To win the game, you must again start at the first and play all five with no continues. | |

Notice This | |
Rick Dangerous (Video Game) / int_20e2a53b | comment |
Notice This: The Commodore 64 version had moving blocks colored differently. In the first level of the sequel, little arrows conveniently point buttons that allow you to switch off obstacles blocking your way — usually in form of security guns that are firing constantly in such short intervals that it's impossible to pass by. However, on one such occasion, pressing a button that arrow pointed at will fire the gun that's aimed at your hero, killing him instantly. In order to go further and survive, you have to press the button next to that one instead. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: You have two paths. Sometimes the more "dangerous" route is the one to pick, sometimes it isn't. | |

Schizo Tech: The second game takes place in year 1945 — but in the meantime, Rick somehow managed to switch his revolver and dynamite for futuristic blaster and delayed-detonation bombs. | |
