Notes

[1] Budget Publisher: Kixx release No. 12 in the series of single disk dual-format (PC/Amiga) budget releases + standalone Amiga-only budget release.

[2] The original release contained a black and white game poster as well as a RICK DANGEROUS 2 comic strip that was illustrated by Ian Gibson of 2000AD's Robo Hunter fame (see HERE).

[3] Interesting info. and trivia about RICK DANGEROUS 2 can be found on game author Simon Phipps' website.


TRIVIA: Inspiration for RICK DANGEROUS 2 was predominantly drawn from the 1930s/40s Flash Gordon film serials, but was also influenced by other sci-fi entertainment media of the era including Dan Dare and Forbidden Planet. [Sources: Simon Phipps (coder) and The One preview, Issue 22 (July 90), pp70-71]
