Play Rick Dangerous (dos) Online

Rick Dangerous is a platform game released in 1989 for MS-DOS, developed by Core Design Ltd. and published by Microplay Software. The game is presented from a side view perspective and follows the character Rick Dangerous, an adventurer whose quest to find a lost tribe leads to a series of perilous environments.

Players control Rick as he navigates through over 100 distinct screens across settings including a jungle, an Egyptian pyramid, and a Nazi base. The primary objective is to survive and progress by avoiding instant-kill traps and confronting enemies. Rick can jump, climb, and is equipped with a gun for horizontal attacks and a limited supply of dynamite sticks. The dynamite is often used to solve environmental puzzles, such as destroying specific blocks, though its blast radius can also pose a risk. Additionally, Rick can use a pogo stick to temporarily stun foes. Progression requires a methodical approach, as many traps offer no visual warning, necessitating careful observation and pattern memorization.

The game structure involves clearing one screen at a time, with players managing limited resources like ammunition and dynamite. Enemy encounters can sometimes be circumvented by luring them into the same traps that threaten Rick. This combination of precise platforming, resource management, and hazard memorization defines the core gameplay loop as players guide the character through the various hostile locations.
