G'day netters! I've been playing Rick Dangerous I for a couple months now and I have managed to reach the level with the Egyptian motif. Now, there is one screen which I find utterly impossible and I am hoping that some expert gamer out there can help. The screen comes right after a screen where you would shoot your gun and a block would fall down from the ceiling and come level with a gap in the floor. You then stand on top of the block and the block falls one level further, where you would crawl off on to the floor which leads to a ledge. You would jump from this ledge and fall in relative safety without getting spiked. The screen which follows this is the one where I get terminated. It seems that when you jump past a certain height, an arrow comes shooting out and impaling poor Rick. I've tried all sorts of different actions and still no success. Can anyone who has completed this level tell me how to get past this screen? Thanx in advance, Trin

I was stuck at this point for a long time too! I suggest you keep trying -- practice, practice, practice. What I usually do is creep forward until Rick's hands are over the edge of the platform. Then when the time is right (I believe that's just when the firing noise starts) I jump up and to the right. When I land, I immediately jump up and to the right again (in fact, I just keep my joystick pointing up and to the right until after the second jump). If timed perfectly, Rick will jump over the spears being fired from the snake head. Keep trying, but know that there are worse times ahead. I have found Rick Dangerous II to be a little easier (I made it through the first three levels in a couple of weeks). Good Luck!
