Gauntlet

GAUNTLET™ ... the arcade sensation. You will enter a world full of monsters and mazes, follow the paths of mystery and combat searching for the food which allows you to increase your health. Monsters and legions of enemies will bar your way. They are not your only adversaries however, in this search for food, treasure and magic potions — the other players are also searching for the same good bounty.

This is one of the most playfull games of the 80's. But also one of the most money hungry games as well.
A real classic. Especally having the indestructable death, who could only be killed, by magic, or draining 200 health points.
