Game summary

Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion You're a one-of-a-kind dangerous guy named Dave. Born and raised in the hill country of Backwater, USA, you're quite deft with the shotgun, and afraid of nothing. Then again, you haven't been in the haunted mansion up on the hill. As you hunt for your lost little brother, Delbert, you must enter a house full of zombies, spooks, and bad guys and turn them into hamburger meat, before they make a meal out of you in Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion! Dangerous Dave’s Risky Rescue Unfortunately for our hero, his little brother is afflicted with “always getting kidnapped” syndrome. Dangerous Dave must battle wolves, mummies, ghosts, and other ghastly apparitions on his way to save Delbert from the clutches of the evil Dr. Nemesis. With 11 levels of spine-tingling platforming action, you’ll be shooting up a storm in Dangerous Dave’s Risky Rescue! Dave Goez Nutz! Life is difficult enough without having Dr. Nemesis as your arch-villain. Why does he have to pick on Dave’s little brother, Delbert, so much? Not only does he snatch the already kidnapping-prone Delbert, but he hides him away deep in the bowel of an insane asylum! Crazy nurses wearing purple of all colors wander the halls, cleaver wielding orderlies, and jolts of electricity all stand in Dangerous Dave’s way in Dave Goez Nutz! The Dangerous Dave Pack includes Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion, Dangerous Dave’s Risky Rescue, Dave Goez Nutz! and The Deserted Pirate's Hangout! A wide variety of locations ranging from a haunted house to the insanity of a mental hospital! Over 30 levels combined of side-scrolling, platforming-and-gunning action!

Play Dangerous Dave Pack on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Dangerous Dave Pack on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
