Stephen's Rating: 4/10
Dangerous Dave was a simple platform game in the vain of Mario Brothers and was a major stepping stone in the formation of iD Software and the Commander Keen series.
Basic Plot
I don't know if there was any plot. The goal was to collect golden cups and reach the end of each level. This involved avoiding enemies and using items.
Gameplay
The player controlled Dave through each level. The game was very difficult - you had to have superb timing in order to get very far at all. There were jetpacks with limited fuel which you had to carefully use and make your way through some of the levels.
Near the start of the 2nd level in the original game.
Positives
There is something just so cool about the name "Dangerous Dave". The game had attitude in a really basic and retarded kind of way.
Negatives
I found the game exceptionally difficult and didn't really enjoy playing it. I did it to compete with my friends instead.
Memorable Moments
There was one level that you could jump "above" and literally just run above the edge of the screen to nearly the end of the level. I felt pretty cool doing that.
