Romero > The Apple II UpTime version of Dangerous Dave, the ORIGINAL version, was published with an article you read in the UpTime shell.  And here it is - beware, it's long.

Romero > The double-res version of the legendary PC version's title screen.

Now ITS OWN legend of legends in legend-land.
Romero > Thanks for renaming my game, Tom!  It was originally "Double Dangerous Dave" but I think Tom wanted to add his own little bit of alliteration to the title instead of letting me reach the next amazing level of game-naming with a TRIPLE alliteration!

The fucker.  Oh, hi Tom! I love you!
Romero > Here's the cover page of Softdisk 115 where Double Dangerous Dave was published.

This art was created by Kevin Cloud (of id Software).  Yes, Kevin worked at Softdisk, too!
Romero > Nice little high score screen.

Oh, look, I got two high scores!
Romero > Here's the end of level two and you can see that I changed the "PCR" letters (which stood for PCRcade) to "ID".  John C. and I were officially at id when we did our double-res games then sold them to Softdisk.
Romero > Second level and you can see that I changed the graphics of some of the items from the PC version.
Romero > Here's the first level - you can see how I followed the design of the PC version.  Kinda funny that the double-res Apple II version isn't a port of the Apple II original version but a port of the PC version.  That was the basis of our contest - port the PC version of the game, not the Apple II version.

So now you know that Catacombs was an Apple II, Apple II double-res and a PC game as well!
Romero > This is the ProDOS disk directory of files for Dangerous Dave (Apple II).  Ignore the FINDER.DATA file, please.  

Please.
