Original version

Dave's mission is to rescue his brother Delbert, lost in the haunted mansion filled with lots of creatures. To do this, he needs to complete 8 levels, going through the door on each level. A shotgun can be used to fight such monsters as zombies, ghosts, slimes and others. Levels are packed with various traps and shiny diamonds.

"Froggman" version

In 1993 the game was re-released by the short lived publisher Froggman under the name Rooms of Doom. The game is identical, however the story now involves a character named Jake (Dave) entering a haunted mansion to save his friend Mikey (Delbert). This version was released on both 3½ inch and 5¼ inch floppy disks for MS-DOS computers.

Mobile version

Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion was ported to cell phones in 2008.[1] This version of the game was developed in Java and is compatible with the majority of contemporary cellular phones.

gollark: I like the textual UI concept of terminals, but not the horrible mess of in-band signalling.
gollark: It *basically works*, if suboptimally, and I don't want to have to configure it.
gollark: I mostly use VSCode (which *is* highly bloatful, yes) or nano if I have to SSH into a thing.
