As RICK HANSON, special agent, you find yourself in a disused railway station at the start of another secret mission. What the mission is, you do not know, but you are sure it must be important because the Chief has assigned you to the case!

Notes

Originally produced for BBC/Electron. Programming by Robert O'Leary.

Rick Hanson was also released for Amstrad and Atari XL/XE.

The Atari XL/XE version was programmed by Nick Gregory, using an enhanced version of his Slave adventure system. It included extra puzzles and items.

The Amstrad version also included more puzzles and ten extra locations. It received a negative review in Amstrad Action issue 24, which prompted Robico to write in and complain. (See Amstrad Action issue 27, page 79)
