This is unbelievable. That's not a game, that's friggin' sadism.

Actually I might try and see if I can master this game once and for all. When I played it a long time ago I always got caught with the spikes.

WOW... This is really not fair!!!!

This game is monstrous. Contrast it with a modern retro style game like VVVVVV. That is really damn hard, but it has checkpoints and infinite lives.
What took game designers so long to realise that forcing you to repeat the same parts of a game that you've already beaten was an astonishingly bad game design choice?
When I die, my last words will be "WAAAGH!"

Die Kombination aus der Heavy-Mucke und Rick's Todesschreien ist wirklich zum schiessen.

Always made me laff when someone did die though with the "WAAAHHHHHH!!" lol!
The annoying thing about this game is got to be the amount of traps located throughout the level. The way to conquer this game is to play through the game with the cheating option enabled remembering where most of the traps are so you can play through the game without cheating having the advantage of knowing where everything is positioned.
That way you could probably conquer this beast of a game.

That's how I first did it, had a trained version back in the day and I did exactly as you just suggested :)

By the way, I'm having a blast watching yours (and your girlfriends) playthrough of Rick Dangerous, great stuff!

I think you missed the point of this game. The beauty of it was that you had to learn the levels and the sequence of moves you had to make in order to get through them. Memorising this was a challenge that took concentration, but once mastered it felt great to be able to go through the levels without ever dying. Then you felt like the real Rick Dangerous, running and jumping through a sequence of terrifying traps without any of them catching you.

Oh I always liked the game, I used to play it all the time :)
But even so, I don't think one can deny that this is rather poor game design - especially since you were forced to start over from scratch every time you ran out of lives.
This was much improved in the sequel where you could practice most of the levels.
