Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion (aka Dave 2) is a sequel to Dangerous Dave. In this side scrolling action game, you go through a huge mansion with many different levels, fight all kinds of monsters and collect items (mostly bonus points). Here and there you gain another life and here and there at the end of the level you fight with the boss. A shotgun will be available for defense, but wow, only with 8 rounds at a time, in addition, charging will also take some valuable time. With a bit of exaggeration, it can be said that the game lays the groundwork for later survival horror movies, because the weapon is not used to clear the entire level, but only to the necessary placement to the end. An interesting innovation was also that Dave could shoot obliquely (up / down). There are also gems in the game that increase the final score. The task of "Dave" is to save his brother Delbert by breaking through 8 levels.
