Dynamite Dan II

Dr. Blitzen is back, and how he's meaner than ever. There's only one person who can stop him and that's... drum roll please... Dynamite Dan.

Yes, good ol' Dan is back and it's up to him to stop that Blitzen bloke again. But as you may have guessed already, it's not that easy. (You don't say!) What Dan has to do is this... First, he must land his Zeppelin air ship on the first island.

Then he must find the record (yes, the one that has music on it) and then locate the jukebox, and the record!!!

Dynamite Dan II

After Dan has collected the record he must then find the fuel to charge up his zeppelin, and get off the island. He must then proceed to the next island and do the same task.

The sprites by the way, can steal objects off of you so even if you collect one of the useful objects, you may not have it for very long (but there is an object that will stop the sprites stealing from you).

One nice feature about this game is the fact that the controls are Auto Select. This means that you don't have to use the same old boring menu, which we see at the start of most Spectrum games. The computer will automatically select Kempston, if you have the Kempston interface plugged in.

Dynamite Dan II is definitely an above average platform game, it uses nice colour graphics and also some rather nice music, if you can hear it! We had the office 'nutter' Garry singing so it was a bit hard to listen to it!

Dynamite Dan II is well worth the money, it's a great challenge to play, and if you bought Dynamite Dan then you'll definitely want to get the sequel.
