A classic
computer game from
the eighties. You control Dave, a character who makes rather neat
PC speaker sounds whenever he jumps, through 10 levels of
danger. The object is to get Dave to exit levels through a
door that only opens once Dave has gotten a
trophy. This involves Dave avoiding
fire and
water hazards, and dodging nasty creatures (some that occasionally shoot projectiles at Dave). To aid Dave in his quest, he has the use of a
jetpack and a
gun. Extra lives can be gained by collecting enough jewels scattered around levels (and there are a couple
secret areas with a
screen full of jewels).
Unfortunately, the sequel Dangerous Dave 2 doesn't compare to the original.
