The player assumes the role of the hero, Frognum, whose task it is to reclaim his kingdom from the Tyrant beast. The game style is principally a platformer which finds the player running and jumping through various screens (numbering around a hundred and extending in all four directions). During this the player will encounter bats, balls or giant rats which general follow fixed paths but may also swarm and chase the player. There are two primary weapons at your disposal to eliminate these enemies; you may punch and claw them, or you may incinerate them with your fire breath. Fire breathing is limited but may be replenished once in a while by collecting items. Also in the C64 version it is imperative to clear the each screen completely of enemies or they will tend to respawn upon leaving and re-entering the screen. Your main task is to find four special abilities and then face the final battle.Charlie Chaplin

Chubby Gristle

Chubby Gristle is one of the fattest car park attendants ever and as the game progresses he is likely to get even bigger. On a good day he's barking out instructions such as "You can't park here" but if you happen to be in favour he'll probably mumble "I'll have a word with t'Commissioner and try and sort something out for you". Love 'em or hate 'em, car park attendants can't be ignored! Chubby's one passion in life is FOOD and plenty of it and his aim is to eat his way through 20 screens stuffing himself silly and reaching that one ton mark. If he doesn't, then the consequences of being sent to a health farm just don't bear thinking about! Throughout the game you need to collect certain items to help you later on but be choosy as not all items will help you. If Chubby is successful in the mission through the screens and weighs in at one ton, his reward will be to go home to Mrs. Gristle for a good fry up or a steak and kidney pie followed by Spotted Dick. So it's up to you to help Chubby in his cDangerous Dave in the Deserted Pirate's Hideout
1988
In 1990, Softdisk Publishing publishes Dangerous Dave in the Deserted Pirate's Hideout! (also known as Dangerous Dave in Trophy Trouble, Dangerous Dave), a puzzle-solving game for the DOS system. Offering action genre, it is now an abandonware. One of John Romero's earliest games before he became world-famous as one of id Software legends, Dangerous Dave is a fun platformer similar to Super Mario. You are Dangerous Dave, a little precocious kid who must find ten skateboarding trophies that your nemesis Clyde Cooper hid in a pirate's hideout. Gameplay in Dangerous Dave is nothing you haven't seen if you have played other platform games. What makes the game memorable and a lot of fun, however, are the many cool secret levels and the great sense of humor. Your enemies include creative monsters with names like WeirdWeeds, FearsomeFire, and WickedWater, all of which have unique attacks and characteristics. Level designs are excellent, showing much of Romero's knack that would become a hallmark in id Software games. WitPink Panther

star 5.9The object of the game was to collect gold cups to move on to the next level. Since the original 1988 publishing of Dangerous Dave on UpTime, there have been three sequels and three ports of the original to other platforms. The idea of Dangerous Dave came to John Romero under the influence of Super Mario. There are definitely similarities that are easily noticeable, such as the secret levels, the level design, the monsters, and the jumping. The mission is to guide Dave through ten levels, collecting trophies in the hideout of his enemy, Clyde. Romero says that among all Dangerous Dave sequels Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion is "the best Dave ever created". In 2008 Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion was ported to cell phones.Donkey Kong Classics
