Rick Dangerous

10 hours ago

Rick Dangerous was developed in 1988 by Core Design as an original platform game spoofing Indiana Jones, marking the company's first project.
The game design emphasized vertical scrolling, enemy pursuit for natural gameplay, and trap activation, inspired by a lack of successful Indiana Jones-style games at the time.
Development trivia includes uniform sprite and screen sizes across formats for time efficiency, a character design inspired by 'Joe Blade' and Guillermo Mordillo, and iconic sound effects recorded by the developer.
Post-release, Rick Dangerous maintains a cult following through retro-gaming websites, fan remakes, and ongoing community engagement, despite unclear ownership rights currently held likely by Eidos or Square Enix.
The developer expresses gratitude for the game's lasting impact over 25 years, highlighting fan dedication and the personal significance of creating memorable gaming experiences.
