Play Rick Dangerous II Online

Rick Dangerous II came out in 1990 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games lineup, developed by Core Design. It was one of those side-scrolling platformers that felt right at home on the PC at the time, sitting alongside other pixel-perfect adventures that demanded patience and precision. The game didn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it had a certain charm and a mean streak that kept you coming back.

You control Rick, an adventurer who explores screen by screen, avoiding traps and fighting enemies with a limited supply of bullets or a handy punch. The goal is to navigate through themed levels, like ancient ruins or enemy bases, collecting key items to progress. Signature mechanics include using bombs to clear obstacles or defeat foes, riding mine carts through hazardous tunnels, and carefully timing jumps over instant-death pits. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, because the difficulty is brutal; one wrong move often means starting the section over. It feels tense and rewarding when you finally nail a tricky sequence after a dozen attempts.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
