Description
1 player, 2 players, 3 players, or 4 players simultaneously.
Original Gauntlet, added quest mode, and battle modes. The quest mode includes character development and item collecting. Cannot be 100% completed unless you have 2 or more players. (one player can awkwardly control two characters with two controllers in order to complete the floors that need two or more players). Also introduces a password system for resuming games or transferring characters between games. This features can also be used to change character class. This is THE greatest ever Gauntlet port. In fact it even rivals the original arcade because of its password resuming and the dramatic ending of Quest mode. It has full sound and voices.
