Dangerous Dave

Sound Player
Sndplay plays the PC speaker sound effects for the following games: Catacomb, The Catacomb, Slordax, Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons, Rescue Rover, Hovertank 3D, Paragon, Street Ball, Duke Nukum, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Major Stryker, Shadow Knights, Math Rescue, Pickle Wars, Dangerous Dave and Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion.

For Dangerous Dave you need Davesnd and for Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion you need Dave2snd because the sounds are stored inside the EXE and these programs get them out of there.

You can download Sndplay here.

Picture Viewer
I wrote a program that shows the EGA pictures of Dangerous Dave.  The CGA and VGA graphics are stored in the exe-file so it's harder to view those.  One notable thing about these pictures is the interesting way Dave and his enemies scroll.  (You'll know what I mean once you've used this program. :))

Hints
In Dangerous Dave 1, you can enter warp zones that transport you to bonus zones with lots of goodies and lots of perils.  To enter these you've got to jump off of the upper left or upper right corner of the level.  This can be done on levels 5, 8, 9 and 10.

Dangerous Dave demonstrates dexterity during dangerous deed. Dangerous Dave demonstrates dexterity during dangerous deed.


Level 6 of Dangerous Dave 1 is quite a dangerous and difficult level, but with this little hint it becomes much easier.  In level 6 get the jet pack and the gun, shoot the creature and then go straight to the exit.  Fly with the jet pack through the exit.   Now don't jump off of the upper left corner of this level just like in the hint above, because then the game will crash.  Instead go to the right.  You will now enter the warp zone of level 8.
