Dangerous Dave: Risky Rescue manual
^C^I* About the game *
Dave is a one-of-a-kind dangerous guy, when he wants to be. Born
and raised in the hill country of Backwater, USA, Dave is quite deft
with the shotgun, and afraid of nothing.
The evil Nemesis has got Dave's little brother Delbert, and this time
he's hidden him in a mental hospital! Dave must comb every floor to
find Delbert while watching out for hypodermic-armed zombies and
other hospital hazards.
