 Gauntlet Legends Review
To this day on the four player arcade game still racks in the dough, and it was no surprise that Midway would start releasing home conversions.
The PS version of Gauntlet Legends was expected to be released earlier but Midway wasn't happy with the result so they decided to go with a developer switch (Atari to Midway) and that delayed the game for about 4-5 months.
Gauntlet compared to the N64 port needs a lot more polish, the characters are rough around the edges and the visual experience is just awkward.

The 1985 arcade game Gauntlet is a classic that stands out as a terrific early example of multiplayer gaming done right.
Gauntlet lets you take control of one of four characters, each with his or her own strengths and weaknesses.
The game's lack of multiplayer aside, Gauntlet is a great action game that runs better than most similar games on the mobile platform.

The cooperative four-player arcade game was successful at throwing hordes of monsters your way, forcing the four players to fight their way through grunts, ghosts, sorcerers, and, of course, Death himself.
Gauntlet has made its way to what feels like a million different platforms since its original release, and now it's available on your cell phone.
But regardless of the technical limitations, the one thing that made the original game a classic was its four-player capability.

There was even a successful arcade revival several years back with Gauntlet: Legends, which brought the series into 3D and allowed players to "save" their characters on the arcade machine.
Those games, and their fully 3D gameplay, had many of the classic elements: monster generators, keys, food to pick up, and many secrets.
This adds a new element to the cooperative game, where a player who hogs all the health is going to screw over the other players who might need it more.

Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.
This game was also released as a two-player upright whose program code differed in only a few of the EPROMs and used a different slapstick security chip.

Gauntlet is a really poor game when it's on free play.
Yes, it's Gauntlet 4 (no original Gauntlet, 2 or 3 for the system) that has the dragon in it's Quest feature, as there's five castles you have to get through, with a dragon in each castle, and it's port of the original Gauntlet (on the same cartridge) doesn't end.
I've seen people play Gauntlet 2 well into the 100+ levels, some of the mazes are really quite impressive and others can be completed with only about 30% worth of the overall maze traveled.
