ArcadeVision is set to release Risky Rick in Dangerous Traps for the ColecoVision console, a brand new 32K game which aims to pay tribute to Core Design’s Indiana Jones wannabe, Rick Dangerous.

Coded purely in assemble language, the developers are keen to emphasise the amount of work that has gone into this particular game, pushing the hardware to the limit with advanced graphical effects and routines, all capable of running on a machine without the need for additional modules or resources.

Risky Rick looks set to emulate the gameplay style of it’s parent, forcing the player to explore trap-laden tombs in search of fame and fortune. The full game is set to include a number of different environments to explore, including the Amazon Temple, Great Pyramid, as well as the Missile Base.

The game certainly looks impressive based on the release trailer, with smooth scrolling, sampled sound effects, not to mention highly detailed background art and sprites featuring excellent animation.

Game features include:

Background to foreground display priority

Hardware scrolling screen rooms levels

Freezing-free sound effects samples

High resolution colourful graphics

In terms of availability, the game will launch as a physical release in three separate bundles:

Standard

Adventurer Brown

Adventurer Green

Green and brown editions will be a limited to a production run of a mere 10 copies each, so you’ll want to make sure you reserve one as soon as possible There’s no word on pricing or a release date as yet, but interested parties should refer to ArcadeVision’s website for further details (including pre-orders) on this release.
