Game Review (written by Chrissi) Added on: 12/20/2007
A fantasy arcade game with a large amount of fighting would make many gamers right away think of the ever so popular game Gauntlet. With this game you will be able to choose your character out of a selection of four different characters that you will demolish many enemies who are attempting to wreak havoc upon you. You and if you like another player will travel through a hundred different levels all having a large amount of mayhem and magical approaches.
When it comes to your choices of characters you will get to select from these four characters:
• Thor the Warrior who is equipped with a battle axe
• Thyra the Valkyrie who uses a close range sword
• Questor the Elf who uses a long range bow
• Merlin the Wizard who uses magical bolts
Each character is very unique in their many forms of attack allowing you to get a personal feel for each character in itself.

Merlin the Wizard who uses magical bolts
Each character is very unique in their many forms of attack allowing you to get a personal feel for each character in itself. Your characters will be competing against many different enemies such as ghosts, goblins, and those horrible enemies that will drain your health completely. Enemies will be coming from several generators throughout the levels, so by destroying these generators the enemies will stop coming at you.
Throughout the game you will run into many doors that will require a key to open them. You will not only have to find the right key for certain doors, but you will also have to find the doors. Some doors will have many different items behind them such as bonus items, magic potions that could kill all the enemies on your screen, and some not so good poisons that will reduce the level of your energy. There are many different things that you will find throughout the levels, some being good and others being bad so be careful.
The graphical design of the overall game has been done in a third person viewpoint looking from an above viewing. The graphics do have minimal graphical detail, but this is expected for a game coming from the arcade field of gaming.
If you are looking for a great action adventure game that will be very complicated to actually complete then Gauntlet would be a great addition to your gaming collection. There is so much to this game that allows it to become one of the best action adventures that you will ever experience. Medieval fantasy like games with in depth plots like this one will definitely have you addicted in a matter of minutes. Gauntlet will surely be one of the most superb games you will play in the next decade or two.

This was the game that I played over and over for countless hours back in the Commodore-days.

This game was ahead of its time, the perfect combination of an RPG with a real-time hack and slash.
