Did you hit the button to turn it off? (if we are talking about the first laser)

Obviously not.. or it wouldn't have killed me  It was my last life, by the time I'd reached that screen, so.. yeah.. one chance, one hit, one dead Jack! I'll have another play in the morning.

In this screenie: , near the score collectible (the green object) to the right there is a little red switch embedded into the wall - you can punch these to active things.

I'm liking how the character jumps out towards the screen when losing a life.

Oh, that's the switch.. OK.. Last night, after taking the above screenshot, I attempted a number of times to hit that thing that looks like a switch, and got killed repeatedly.

LOL @ Jay. TBH - Looking at that screenie, I probably would have done exactly the same as you (it does indeed look like a pull handle switch). I loved Rick Dangerous BITD. I tried to play it recently. FECK OFF!!!! I'm too old for that!  This does look geat though. |

LOL! You all suck at computer games Fair enough about that switch... in Rick 1 the dev team didnt point them out, but in Rick 2 they did.

I know.. but some players thought it was too hard with just one. I actually liked the controls, it "felt" like you were doing an action, eg getting out the gun (FIRE and UP), dropping the bomb (FIRE and DOWN), punching (FIRE and RIGHT/LEFT)...
