PRODUCER: Firebird
PRICE: about 69 DM
Let's write our first gametest in this forth issue of the Disk
MAGAZIN.'Rick Dangerous' is a represantative of a genre which we
haven't found very often on the Atari ST ! Jump-and-run games
were the most produced games on the C64 but today on our ST we
must realy search them.During the last two months the games 'Rick
Dangerous' and 'Newzeland story' try to fill this leck in the ST
softwaremarket. What have we got to do in this game ?
Rick is on the mission to find the native tribe of the goolus and
after starting with a plane this plane crashed into the amazonas-
jungle.Good luck,Rick wasn't hurt but he landed within a big
group of wild goolus.
After telling you this totaly unimportant backgroundstory the
game starts in a big system of caverns.The good graphics create an
atmosphere as a comic and some seconds after our first move a big
stoneball starts runing behind Rick.The exit is closed and we
will have to find another one.Therefore Rick has got some special
equipment:a gun with six shots,six dynamitbombs and six lives.
Some time later you'll get the first burst of motivation: the
soundeffects are digitalized, funny and well done. We get depper
into the caverns and the ST scrolls only into vertical direction,
but in a acceptable speed.In horizontal direction the game
switches from the first screen to the next.Their are a lot of
traps which have to be mastered and I think boredom won't appear
for a long time ! Each of the five levls insist on more then
twenty screens and different graphics.If you hear a little sound
after entering a screen,then you can start at this point if you
lose a live,faire play ! Dynamit and new amunition appears some
times in form of big chest and must be touched. But I think we
have got some faults in this game:first of all I think every game
should have a highscore which we can safe on disk and also an
good titlesound.
After all I think 'Rick Dangerous' is a good represantative of
this gamegenre and everybody who likes playing jump-and-runs
should try to get this amazing act ! Also the difficulty is well
measured and I like playing 'Rick' some times !!!!!!
GRAPHICS: 79
SOUND: Titlesound bad,but great effects!
