This is named Dandy-like instead of Gauntlet-like for two reasons. 1) Dandy was the first game to have it. 2) Gauntlet series has not kept with the gameplay, thus using Gauntlet-like would be confusing to those who've only played the later ones.
Atari converted and published Dandy as Dark Chambers for several of their own PCs and Consoles.
