Rick Dangerous 2
DOSAction
Rick Dangerous 2 is a side-scrolling action platformer developed by Core Design and released for DOS in 1990. It follows the eccentric adventurer Rick Dangerous as he travels through dangerous locations while trying to stop an alien threat. The game combines precise platforming with trap memorization, enemy shooting, and carefully placed explosives. Its short stages are built around surprise hazards and trial-and-error learning rather than free exploration. Rick Dangerous 2 was generally well received for its humor, animation, and challenging level design, although its instant deaths and limited resources can make progress demanding. It remains a notable British home-computer platform game and a distinctive sequel to the original Rick Dangerous.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
