Dangerous Dave's Risky Rescue
''Dangerous Dave'' is a 1988 computer game by John Romero. It was developed for the Apple II and DOS as an example game to accompany his article about his GraBASIC, an Applesoft BASIC add-on, for the ''UpTime'' disk magazine. Summary The object of the game is to collect gold cups to move on to the next level.

Romero says that among all Dangerous Dave sequels ''Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion'' is "the best Dave ever created". In 2008 ''Da ...
