The Games Machine (UK)
Although the scenes surround our jovial junior Indy scroll intermittently – and then jerkily – they make good use of colour, with effectively shaded rocks, wood and so on. Detail is packed into the sprites and gives them a cartoon flavour. Title music is simple yet fun, and effects samples include a great ricocheting pistol shot and an amusing 'Waaaaghh!' as a killed character falls off-screen. The playing area is actually a little smaller on the Amiga, almost square. Title music is irritating – poor sounds – and there's the addition of an inappropriate jump effect. It's expensive for what it offers but, Rick Dangerous is a good, old-fashioned, highly-playable arcade exploration jaunt.

Power Play
Die einfachsten Spiele sind oft die besten. Rick Dangerous ist ebenso simpel wie suchtverdächtig; ein prima Puzzle-Grübel-Actionspiel, das wie eine Kreuzung aus den Oldies "H.E.R.O." und "Montezuma's Revenge" wirkt.

Kingdom of Desire
Rick Dangerous ist ein schweres Spiel, das hauptsächlich daraus besteht die Levels auswendig zu lernen um dann allen Fallen ausweichen zu können. Zwar gibt es einige gute Ideen und das ganze ist auch motivierend, aber nachdem man zum 20. Mal im gleichen Level starb, hat man wohl genug, da es auch keine Continues gibt und keine Extraleben ist das schon leicht frustrierend.
