The very end of ''Rick Dangerous 2'' did not complete the story. The game finished with a cliffhanger: the Fat Guy escaping at the final moment through a teleporter device, and Rick following him with the familiar captions "What will Rick do next?". Although this may have hinted at another sequel to the story, ''Rick Dangerous 3'' was never made.
Rick Dangerous creators instead switch on to Tomb Raider, in 3D.
As many games of this time, the 3rd version coincided with avenment of full 3D engines on 16/32 bit computers.
And it was decided that the Fan-Servicable-and-largely-Boobed Lara Croft was a clever choice compaired to the Lame-comical-Cartoonish Rick Dangerous.
In a way, Rick Dangerous remains Lara Croft's Father.
