Dangerous Dave In Copyright Infringement | Unreleased Prototype

[roxasfruit]

this is the 1st side scrolling game to ever exist on computers

it proved that, what is widely thought of as impossible, is just quite possible

and the success of that would eventually bring upon the very existence of first person shooters

[3GenGames]

@roxasfruit I didn't know in 1990 the first computer was built. There were computers that had scrolling way before this, lol.

[KOICrowz]

@3GenGames Scrolling, yes; but not this type, and not this smooth.

[DGMRuadeil]

copyright john romero? Oh that's nice, carmack writes it and romero puts his name on it? euhhh k?

[00sven00sven00]

Im currently reading the book Masters of Doom about the chaps that made this , fascinating read!

[CostaRicaDentist]

Nice channel!

[ecchibanzaii]

1:03 Yay he's playing level 7:1

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT SCROLLS!" -John Romero

[metabog]

Where did you get the actual game? I never imagined it ever got outside Softdisk.

[iannerd97]

i listened to this with dark side of the moon over and over again...

Thoroughly creepy.

[brandonwild11]

i sean this on playvalue

[hackwriter]

I will later explain to the arresting officer that I watched the entire video from beginning to end because I was entranced by the glory of DOS.

[soadfan676]

the pink blocks should be white

[Tigrou7777]

ID software have become famous not because of theses scrolling 2D games but mostly because john carmack created the most impressive 3d engines of all times (wolf, doom and later quake series)

[Evilmonkey66699]

@Tigrou7777 mhm, and those same engines were licensed out and ran alot of non iD classics to bad that's no longer going to be the case now that Bethesda owns Id and the new Id tech 6(or was it 7) engine and now have the gaul of telling developers if they want to use the new engine they HAVE to let there game be published by Bethesda. God more and more Bethesda just finds new ways of pissing me off and to think they used to be cool.

[AkkiWare]

@Evilmonkey66699 Thats because Bethesda now owns ID software it is there property. ID use to self-publish games so the engines were their decision of who can use them. Its like say you invented this awesome machine and others want to use it. Would you let them use it for free with no credit to you? No you probably wouldn't. Its a buisness world and we got to make money.

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Well damn, I had no idea that this demo was ever released in any form. Good video!

[MrGerolf]

they made SMB3 on the PC, nintendo wouldnt take it, even after all the hard work.

[stalepieonceagain]

and then they made Doom 3

[Lhern1]

then it was Doom 1!!!

[Foebane72]

@stalepieonceagain Doom 3 is a great game!

[AnangoMagic]

cool, I was really interested in seeing this after reading Masters of Doom, thanks for uploading it.

[bat7j]

This is essentially the KEEN# engine, isn't it?

[DdlyHeadshot]

@bat7j No, this is the Keen engine's predecessor - it exists only for itself as a demo of the technology that was later used in Keen.

[Soyawannabeamasta]

That was four minutes of my life gone forever. Bye...life...

[Triundi]

Dangerous Dave was so kickass. I played it for hours back in the day.

[LaughingMan008]

Hey, howd you get to the 2nd level?

It keeps crashing on me when I try to go there.

[Kittyslasher69]

I becha John Carmack took a big dump on his desk chair when he came up with a supreme idea for ID software!!!

[leviathin5]

this is flippin sweet lol.. dude is it just me or does the little sound when he jumps make u want 2 shit ur pants laughing lmao. also does the sound get higher and higher, then lower or is it just me who is high lol

[lurkerrekrul]

Wow! They managed to do on IBM clones, what the C64 had been doing for years in only 64K!

[dtfageet]

Yes. It was the beginning of the end for Commodore 64s and Amigas.

[Jagguarek]

old games are better than new super graphic games

[michalt441]

I agree in a part.

Today's games actually are pretty nice and fun, but nothing can beat the simple good old DOS games. :)

[ColourTheSkyGames]

@michalt441

Go and play some flash games

[Lumpytoast]

True that.

[antho3001]

@Jagguarek i may say some old games are better than most of the nuew super graphics games cuz the graphics doesnt make a game, game play do

[Guzzle90]

@Jagguarek

So true! :D

[spitball123]

@Jagguarek That's why you're playing them and not watching videos for nostalgia, right?

[ShowToddSomeLove]

@Jagguarek

Nostalgia goggles. They aren't really. Often they used cheap tactics to lengthen the game and were more frustrating than fun.

[poppybasers]

Where can i GET THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[poppybasers]

I found it...

[adabrowski]

Where?...

[bogosmurf]

According to "Masters of Doom" id sent the demo to Nintendo with the intent to secure a deal to make a PC port, hoping Nintendo would be impressed by the smooth scrolling technique that (according to the book) many thought was not possible on the PC at that time.

Nintendo was apparently not interested in the PC market, perhaps viewing it as competition for it's console.

[DXZDSnakeEater]

they would of got in alot of trouble for this, thx for the vid

[fleetwoodsucks]

they never planned to release it

[DXZDSnakeEater]

well i know but they would of if they did release it

[Fragmeat666]

I read about this in the book "Masters of Doom" Great to find an actual vid of it!

[Peter5k]

yepp... that is how id start started. pretty amazing :D

[j1mmyd33]

Very cool, I had not found footage of copyright infringement until this youtube.

[Prizm4]

Far out, I had no idea they pioneered side-scrolling on PCs. I used to play Dangerous Dave all those years ago.

[RapidFury90]

Keep posting the videos! :D

[Decaptor2]

Pretty cool as always Cutefloor, good work!
