About this game
Dangerous Dave searches a deserted pirate hideout for ten trophies hidden by his rival Clyde Cooper. Each stage asks you to collect its trophy and reach the door alive. Fire, water, plants and the hideout's inhabitants turn a short route into a movement puzzle. Treasure is worth collecting, but the trophy is what makes the exit useful.
This entry uses the original DOS game supplied on the Gamer's Edge sampler. Its DAVE.TXT calls the adventure Trophy Trouble and describes the keyboard layout used here. It is a separate game from the later Dangerous Dave sequels.
Move with Left and Right and jump with Up. Ctrl fires when Dave has a gun; Alt operates a collected jetpack. The manual warns that jetpack fuel is limited, so choose a landing place before flying into an otherwise unreachable area. F2 opens the game's control panel if you need to choose keyboard input or adjust the original sound setting.
