The legend of Dangerous Dave is an interesting one that began back in 1988 on the Apple II. Nine versions of Dave later and still no decent sequel to Dave II in sight!
This is the ad for our Gamer's Edge first issue where we put two games on a sampler disk to show potential subscribers what they would be getting.
John Carmack's game CATACOMB and my game DANGEROUS DAVE were both on the disks (there were two 3.5" disks). I also wrote the menu shell program that you used to choose the game or read articles.
The artwork for Catacomb was alright but the Dangerous Dave cover looked like someone's baby drew it after waking from a nightmare.
My favorite part of the ad is the sentence "Every two months we will send you new, never-before-published games written by the world's best game designers" - that's Softdisk marketing at its finest.
