Leave it to Kris to go beyond the level anyone thought was necessary. The vast majority of people would've stopped at the total tally. But no, Kris goes into detail on how to actually get the deadly points by juggling extra lives and points. This is why Kris is special, people. Well played, Kris. Well played.

Gemini, this wasn't pointless. You helped thousands of people learn how important something so breathtakingly irrelevant can be. I don't see how it makes the world a better place, but my gut tells me it does. Bravo! and Thank-you.

When I played this as a kid on DOS, I *definitely* remember it was only possible to play any secret level once. After beating a secret level, it was NOT possible to re-enter it. I don't know if there are other versions of the game where it works differently. You said in the video that a secret level can be re-entered an infinite amount of times, but you said in the description that a secret level could only be entered once in the version you played later. So I wanted to mention that the "no re-entry" rule was present in the old DOS version that I played. (After dying in a secret level, I do not remember for sure if it was possible to re-enter it or not, but I don't think it was.)

+Jomaster The Second Might tackle that one too at some point as that would indeed be a tricky one to figure out for Dave, especially given that enemies don't award points if you kill them by touching them and losing a life yourself, and some enemies, notably in the final level, cannot be passed without defeating them.

14:04 Question, Kris. I remember doing that wall glitch all the time, but I don't know for sure about this - but what I'm wondering is, can't you also get that second crown off to the top left of the first one, by moving slightly left JUST after your final wall jump, then moving back to the right again?

OK I've managed to squeeze 300 additional points from level 9. At 13:38 there's a screenshot of some items that are labeled as invalid points. And there's a place where you can get stuck, but there's a way to get at least one more crown from that place: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGXbXnyeo6qEiKc

@level_6 Go through the door to the top right. Jump over in to the warp zone of level 8 collect everything including the trophy. Kill the a Dave. Now play level 6 and collect everything with another trophy. Finish it. You get a fortune. @level_8 Dont collect the second jetpack. It will be useful to fall into the hole if you get killed on the RHS of the level when you are out of jet pack.
@Pixelmusement
@Pixelmusement 2 ай бұрын
Going through the door without the trophy in Level 6 was unintended behaviour in the DOS port of the game, (even though it was COMPLETELY intended in the original Apple II version of the game), thus why I didn't count that in these calculations. :P

22:27 - I added a 6th digit to the score display for you: a.uguu.se/TjKyBnzMCsNT_DAVE6DGT.7z Untested though because there's no way I'm scoring 100k points in this game. Also I haven't changed anything about the hall of fame screen so that will probably break. edit: fixed a possible buffer overflow
@Pixelmusement
@Pixelmusement 4 жыл бұрын
+jwt27 Yeah, good thing you caught that. The initial download would crash upon crossing into the sixth digit but your new download works fine; six-digit scoring is working! With high scores it simply ignores the sixth digit. I do find it interesting though that your version of the game must be different from mine seeing as mine has some of the data in a separate file from the main executable, whereas yours has it all in a single executable. :o

@@Pixelmusement My copy has EGADAVE.DAV which I didn't include since you probably had that already. That file is only used in EGA video mode however, the VGA and CGA graphics are embedded in the exe. There's also DSCORES.DAV which is just the high score list. About that. I've been looking at the high scores screen, I can see some space to squeeze an extra digit in but there's a ton of code that has to be changed. Would be a lot of work using just IDA's crude assembler, not sure if it's worth the effort.

Not sure exactly which gem you're referring to, but there's only one iffy gem in the warp zone off of Level 5 and as mentioned in the video you CAN get it, but only from the left side with an extremely dangerous jump since to get it from the right you would need to be able to skip the trophy, which is impossible. :P
