Danger Ranger

Danger Ranger from Microdeal gives you the opportunity of taking on the role of a space age treasure hunter.

Our intrepid adventurer starts the quest in the Chamber of Pasha, made up of a series of five platforms. You have to collect ten keys, one being located at either end of each platform. The baddies are floating urns which move up and down at the edge of the platforms firing shots at your man far too often for comfort. Danger Ranger can jump over or duck the shots and he can always shoot them with his own laser and send them burning to the floor of the chamber. He must also look out for roving eyes and radioactive bats.

On completion of level one, our hero is transported to the acid chamber. Now the Ranger can collect treasure chests while avoiding drops of deadly acid which fall from the ceiling and rise from the floor.

As if that wasn't enough to discourage you, there are a number of demons in the chamber who, as the game progresses, require a greater number of shots to kill them.

Microdeal should have a winner on their hands with Danger Ranger. A simple game to play but one that it will take you a lot of practice to master (it took me a good hour to get on to level two). But a practice mode is included to allow you to see each level without getting killed.
