I have a question concerning the DOS version of Dangerous Dave that maybe John or someone else can answer. Do the CGA and VGA sprites just use the EGA sprites with a different palette or is the data for those sprites in the executable? I know that they are in the executable, but there seems to be no knowledge of the format they are in.

Four years ago I extracted some VGA tiles of Dangerous Dave. I'm not sure if I still got the program I used to extract those tiles. If I remember correctly, the VGA tiles were run-length encoded. I don't know the format of the CGA sprites.

Yeah, I did my research and read all the information out there, including yours. Thanks though. It'd be nice to be able to figure out the VGA sprites.
