Daredevil Denis

Daredevil Denis is a video game in the action genre and published by Visions (Software Factory) Ltd. originally released in 1984. It is currently playable on BBC Micro, Electron.

Denis makes his debut as a stuntman. He has to impress the director and earn his paycheck by performing stunts. Each screen consists of four platforms that cover the entire screen horizontally. Depending on the scene, Denis uses a motorcycle, jet ski or ski-doo to cross the area from left to right. He leaves the screen from the right and reappears from the left of the lower platform, maintaining his speed. The scene is complete if he manages to exit the screen through the lower platform.

Denis is controlled with three keys. He can accelerate, brake and jump. The stages are full of hazards such as houses, trees, snowmen, spiders, ambulances, helicopters, boats, whales and policemen. Some of them are static, but others move around or up and down. Sometimes there are gaps that can be exploited to immediately descend to a lower platform, using a balloon. When Denis touches a hazard, he is thrown out of the vehicle and has to restart. The director provides three shots. When they run out, Denis is fired.

Six difficulty levels are available from the main menu. They offer variations in the amount of hazards. Vehicles cannot be chosen, they are provided at the beginning of each scene.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
