Anyone here remember Rick Dangerous? Well this game really has me hooked
but I can't find a way through the following room near (I hope!) the end of
Egypt. I've been stymied here for a while so if anybody can help, please
E-mail me!
Thanks in advance.

Although RDII was not much of a step forward from RDI, it was certainly not a step backward. I think the graphics were just as good as RDI, and the game play was slightly improved. The sliding grenades were an excellent replacement for the dynamite. The rocket sleds were a great idea too -- unfortunately, they aren't used enough in the game. I much prefer the forest world of RDII to the Nazi castle of RDI. There are three or four separate ways to complete the forest world, compared to the Schwarzdumpf castle, which is just a somewhat confusing maze. I tend to look at RDII as just a set of extra levels for RDI, so I guess I didn't expect it to be significantly better.
