PC Longplay [712] Rick Dangerous II

[@nicolasverdi]

More than 30 years later, I've just realized there is not actually a mucus themed level, but a toxic waste one.

[@MarcGameplays]

I never heard Rick Dangerous 2 PC music before. I always played with internal speaker.

[@genblob]

i never remembered it sounding this tinny

[@mrrafalb1776]

You must be thinking of Amiga version, this is from PC/DOS.

[@kefrensmegademo]

Eyes wide shut hero 😊😊

[@Bakerstreetgaming]

loved this game on the speccy

[@RetroGameSpacko]

Complete FM Synth Midi Soundeffects ^^. I had a Roland SCC1 at this time, which had a complete wavetable set just for Soundeffects. Well, the midi recordings i have from that time still beat any software midi synth.

[@maciejguzek3442]

holy fk it had to be like 25 years ago but the levels are still imprinted in my memory !!!

[@LuanS.C.]

404 views, which gamer generation Congratulations on the video, I think it's cool you bring some retro games.

[@adamw.p.6287]

I had the Atari ST version, and this looks identical. Only thing that differs is that the sound is worse here.

[@TheVanillatech]

Soundcards still not really a thing on PC's back then. They didn't transition to "home computers" yet, still office machines.

[@bormisha]

The sound effects are done really badly in this version. Could be done a lot better using the FM synth. The music is ok though.

[@dcocz3908]

PC speaker is just on or off. Clever programmers made PWM interrupt driven music though it but its still basic

[@guitardoppio]

Wow I found it again! Thank you for upload!

[@SendyTheEndless]

Oh no! My gun fires cheapo synth sounds! :)

[@hanchiman]

Core Design? Those who brought us Lara Croft! :D

[@victorvance2573]

Basically from one Indiana Jones "inspired" character to another.

[@thearchiver9753]

nostalgy time! was little when played it

[@AmbersKnight]

Looks identical to the ST/Amiga version but the sound effects and music do seem a tad off compared to the Amiga. Not bad though.

[@bormisha]

It seems that the developers just ignored the SFX design altogether. The MIDI SFX implementation is pathetic. It could be done a lot better using the FM synth. Music is ok, though. Probably a library of "standard" patches for the OPL.

[@melchiah131]

You know despite it's average runtime , this game is YUUUUGE!

[@kamiledi15]

On my retro pc and on Dosbox this game runs slow while choosing VGA graphics. On CGA it works fast. In the internet many people suggests that it's a common problem with this game. How did you make it work that fast?

[@dvpemberton]

I remember having to pay with ega graphics as my pc originally couldn't do vga. Still a great game. Easier than the first one.

[@lurker1973]

It was a difficult second part of Rick Dangerous not always fair. Today a game like that would be too difficult.

[@mattx5499]

This was the point of Rick Dangerous to be hardcore and piss people off, but the game was so addictive you could still try again and again after destroing dozen of joystick by throwing them at the wall. 😆

[@Tarets]

​​@@mattx5499 No. The point was the same as in any other game of the era - to lengthen the game as if it had more content, than it actually did. Also, there are plenty of ridiculously hard games to play today. Stop the boomer talk.

[@TheVanillatech]

@@Tarets No. The point was to challenge yourself, you vs the mind of the creators. It was always the case. No "regenerating health" back on those days. We rocket jumped our way out of situations. Ori & The Blind Forest follows the same tradition, a throwback to challenging platformers of yesteryear and one of the best games released this decade. To real gamers, todays games are boring and far too easy. More like interactive experiences than actual games. PS. Boomers were born in the 40's and 50's. They are 70-80 years old now.

[@Tarets]

​@@TheVanillatech Woah, look at THE REAL GAMER, thinking that from all the difficult games today it's Ori that adheres to retro challenge design :D BTW, you giving boomer definitions makes you even more of a boomer dude.

[@TheVanillatech]

@@Tarets Not sure that explaining syntax and dictorial definitions changes the date I was born on. But yes, I think Ori was an amazing title. I got stuck a handful of times, and it wasn't cerebral. It was motor skills issues! :D Im OLD. But I persevered, took my time, died a dozen times then BOOM! MADE IT! Great feeling! Excellent game design.

[@WMachismo]

Wait!? Saddam H. as in Saddam Hussain?

[@XronisFountoukidis]

Only the bad guys name "fat guy" would be a huge NO NO if this game was made today.... I also finished this game in CGA, with EOB22 unlimited lives cheating... congratz on amazing gameplay, it is a super hard game !...

[@MasterControl90original]

Wait a second... Didn't the DOS version run at half speed? I played it on both real hw and Dosbox and it was always halfspeed, Am I missing some starting parameter to set it full speed?

[@nekokna]

MCP90 i love your doomguy avatar!

[@MasterControl90original]

@@nekokna thx but I still didn't get why every version of this game I played for dos runs half speed

[@nerdvector]

@@MasterControl90original The solution is to speed up the game using HEX editor. You should edit MAIN.EXE. Find address 00009D0Eh. The old values of the following two bytes (75,FB) are to be replaced by new values (90,90). Then find address 00009D13h. Old values there are 74 and FB. Replace them by 90 and 90. Just remember to do a backup.

[@MasterControl90original]

@@nerdvector thank you a lot!

[@nerdvector]

@@MasterControl90original I really dk why is so. Years ago I had a 'normal' version of Rick2 and lost it, then I could find only slow ones.

[@profit-var]

excelente juego, retro el mejor

[@DDRmails]

its Kapitan Bomba!

[@pupper9474]

[@PascalSquale]

[@bluefireskull]

[@JoãoCarlosSantos-j1m]
