A platform game in which we play the role of the title archaeologist. The player's task is to break through four trapped stages: an Amazon temple, an Egyptian pyramid, a medieval castle and a Nazi rocket base.
Shortly it turns out that our hero is not an ordinary archaeologist but a real swashbuckling, just like Indiana Jones' film. As soon as he leaves the Amazon temple, London will send him to Egypt, where in the pyramids there is a closely guarded artifact. Later, our hero will go to Nazi-occupied Schwarzendumpf Castle and finally to the Nazi rocket base.
Rick is equipped with two types of weapons: a pistol and dynamite. Both can successfully kill enemies, but only with explosives will it be possible to remove obstacles. As ammunition is limited, it is important to think carefully about whether it is worth choosing a weapon at all, all the more so as some opponents can be easily jumped over. It is true that from time to time it is possible to regenerate the arsenal by collecting appropriate boxes, but their amount is inversely proportional to our needs. In addition, you need to prepare for the numerous terrain traps. There are so many different spikes, cages falling on the head and bullets that it's hard to break through without remembering their location beforehand. To sum up, the game is relatively difficult and requires a lot of patience on the part of the player. Even a large number of additional lives does not help, but that's the charm of arcade games.
