About Dangerous Dave

Dangerous Dave in the Deserted Pirate's Hideout is a platforming game where the player character must navigate through a series of levels to recover stolen trophies. The setting is an abandoned pirate lair, which provides the backdrop for the action.

Its design is noted for being more challenging than typical for the genre, partly due to a condensed structure of only ten stages. The gameplay involves standard running and jumping mechanics to progress.

On the Apple II, the DOS version utilizes a 16-color double-res display mode. This iteration is functionally identical to an earlier high-resolution release for the same computer under the same title.
