I trenbolone acetate steroid and powerlifting was extremely stoked to find out that Eurogamer, has posted a tribute to one of my favorite video games of all time: RICK DANGEROUS. I suggest that you read it and then try out for yourselves the original game on your retro platform of choice, an emulator or the online flash version!

Rick Dangerous was a platforming game released in 1989. It was strongly influenced by the Indiana Jones movies and was extremely hard. It’s been made by Core Design who became famous later for the Tomb Raider series. A sequel was released in 1990, which was also very cool.

I played both games for countless hours with my brothers on the family’s PC-XT/CGA. We bought the original after being hooked up by the cover artwork (see the acoompanying pictures of our copy).

Recently, I played it against on one of my Amigas, and together with the fond memories came back the frustration with the difficulty level. The gameplay was very hardcore. You had to memorize all traps, most of them invisible, and move with precision. I can still remember the awe we feel with my brothers each time we passed to a new screen, only to die shortly after and try again to reach the same point.

The Rick Dangerous spirit survives in contemporary platforming games, such as Spelunky, which I’ve purchased and played on Xbox 360. The gameplay’s core is altered in the sense that you don’t have any more to memorize traps, since the levels are generated procedurally. Therefore, the mechanics are focused on precision and speed. I admit that the game’s crueltyï¿½ has wrecked my nerves before I got too far, but you ought to try it if you’re up for a hardcore, old-school gaming challenge.
