Dynamite Dan II

Dynamite Dan II is a video game in the action genre and published by Mirrorsoft Ltd. originally released in 1986. It is currently playable on Amstrad CPC.

Planting subliminal messages in music seems to have worked for Judas Priest; the evil Dr. Blitzen is trying to make it work for himself by planting messages in popular records. Blitzen has used the 8 islands of Arcanium for this task, each containing a jukebox and a record with a clue to the location of the secret factory where he produces these horrors. Dynamite Dan returns to put an end to this, exploring the 8 islands in turns to find the pieces of the puzzle.

There are 192 screens in total, 24 on each island, all loaded with enemies with fixed attack patterns. Some move diagonally, some move towards Dan and some move horizontally. They all sap Dan's energy, leading to death and failure, and some can steal items from him. The disc and turntable are randomly placed in each game, as are the enemies. Dan can jump far, and his jumps are greater if he has taken a running start.

There are many items to collect: a torch to protect against theft, bomb goggles to open doors, food to recover energy (and a blender for infinite energy), and dumbbells to increase the size of jumps. All of them are used automatically. To escape from each island you must also find enough fuel for your trusty Zeppelin.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
