:ok:

This game was brilliant when I played it on C64 many years ago. I had also copy for Amiga. There is windows xp version of this game.

I love RD2, but it is best played on the older machines with a classic Zip Stick joystick (you know the ones, a square with a knob on the top).

I disagree. If I remember correctly, the ultimate Amiga stick was Tac II. I might remember the name wrong but something like that. And RD2 is great ;)

How do you kill the fat guy in the last scene of rick dangerous 2... i keep avoiding his blasts but find no way to take him down?

Roll bombs under the Fat Guy's vehicle so that they explode when it is neer the floor. It's a matter of timing. You can also shoot at it, but it has no real effect (maybe only in combination with the bomb strategy).

:help: Hi guys! I have one stupid question, but that is why we have forums. How do I run those two games? When I was a boy Rick was The King of Amiga games so...I must have those two games running. If I run any of ziped files nothing happens. I just have a notice like that can not be run under dos or windows. :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:

get DOSBox.

THNX BeefontheBone! Stupid me! :blink: There is even a manual! OK! The game is working...but...WHERE ARE THE COLORS??? It is just...ugly! Black and 3 shades of green or blue or wahtever that color is. Can I change it?

THNX

Change the graphics to EGA/VGA and the colours are as good as on Amiga. The only thing that is much worse is the sound and it doesn't matter if Adlib or Soundblaster. Does anybody have a tip for it?

Run the file sound.com before running the game, and it should work.

Tac II was the greates,i know because ive tried.

I have this game in Amiga,but its kind of hard.

...of the gane is now...none! A s soon as I change on to full colors the gane is so slow that... :cry: :cry: :cry: THIS IS NOT AMIGA QUALITY!

very funny game and nicely made.especialy the last episode.
but to have to crouch and press 2 keys just to fire a gun? :not_ok: that isn't OK.

The easiest way to play this awesome game is to play it on the net:

That being said, can anybody help me with the game? On second level, there is this diamond I need to pick up, but when I do, two fireballs kill me. What to do? What to do?

Thanks.

on that screen if you make the 3 guys come up the opposite ladder on the right and when they are at the top with you jump on the diamond and dont jump this will then kill the guys and leave you free to continue to the next screen.

I also have a problem i to am stuck on the second level but a bit further on. Its where you shoot the wall on the right to get the block to carry you over to the right hand side then you go past 3 mummy coffins and then the screen after where a mummy comes out and you have to drop down but i keep getting spiked and i have dropped bombs and shot everywhere! please help. its doing my head in as playing it on the net and keep having to start back at beginning! :ranting:

cool game. i remember playing it with a good colleague of mine throughout an entire night.. of course we had to use the cheat because imho this game is impossible to beat without. cool game! ohh.. the old days...

Excelente juego. Muy buenos gráficos, temática y música. En este caso, es mucho mejor la secuela que el original. Lo único que le faltaría es la posibilidad de "salvar", ya que es muy difícil pasar los 4 niveles consecutivos y llegar al 5° con las suficientes vidas.

In English: Excellent game. Very good graphs, thematic and music. In this case, it is far better the sequel that the original one. The only thing that it would need is the possibility "of saving", since it is very difficult to pass the 4 levels consecutive and to arrive at 5° with the sufficient lives.

What year is this game?

It's from the time computers still used tapes, and took half an hour to load a few bytes....

Great to revive old memories... :D thank you for this and for a lot of other old games I'm revisiting...

Cheers all.. and Have fun...

Hi, all... It seems that my Rick Dangerous I does not register the High Score :wallbash: ... I am using the PC version under DOS on an old 486 computer... Any suggestion as to how to get it right ? Thanks in advance, Patrick.

try checking whether the game files have read only property

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(_r.u.s.s. @ Sep 3 2007, 11:43 AM) [snapback]308510[/snapback]</div>Good suggestion, r.u.s.s. but I just checked and all the files are read/write... :huh: I wonder whether I am not missing a file. Currently, I have RICK.COM ; RICK.EGA ; RICK.CGA and RICK.TND. Is there another file needed ?

seems it doesnt work for me niether=/ after a restart it resets

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Agrios @ Sep 3 2007, 08:51 PM) [snapback]308612[/snapback]</div>Hi, Agrios! Could you tell me if, when running on your Amstrad PC, the high score table of Rick Dangerous I gets saved when you exit the game, or does it always start off with a "standard" high score table?

dont expect an answer from him :D
btw i think it doesnt work on any computer

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(_r.u.s.s. @ Sep 3 2007, 10:03 PM) [snapback]308634[/snapback]</div>It might well be that the high score was never intended to be saved. But it does seem rather odd :huh: ... I will try it out on another computer tomorrow...

please can anyone help.... i want this game but the link seems to be down .... please help with a new link ....

The download links are all down, according to the front page, they should be up by tomorrow.

This guy managed to disassembly and convert Rick 1 to modern systems. It has the added advantage that the cursor keys are now used: http://www.bigorno.net/xrick/
