Analog Addiction writes: "Rebooting a franchise that’s been around for roughly 30 years is no easy task, but that’s exactly what Arrowhead Game Studios has set out to do with their upcoming PC release of Gauntlet. Fans of the later titles in the series such as Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet Dark Legacy will remember all of the secret characters, the ability to kill Death with a potion, countless power-ups you could purchase for next to nothing, and the hours of fun you could have with your friends hacking and slashing through hordes of enemies. All of the aforementioned features save the last one are gone. Gauntlet truly is a nod to the original titles, giving players the choice of a mere four characters, each with their own individual strengths, and forcing them to run away from Death when he appears."
Games Asylum: "Apologies if you were expecting to see ten entries spread out below. The official UK software sales chart didn’t begin until 1984, giving us just six games to cover."
Great read. Wow what a time that was. The contrast compared to today's crazy video game world.
