Warrior is about to die! Elf needs food badly! Eat your food, don’t shoot it! Try this level now!
So many quotable speech samples, none of which appear in the Spectrum version I have here. Tch, eh?
My first memories of Gauntlet are when my cousin Richard came to stay with us, and him and I played Gauntlet for about zleventyfivesix hours non-stop. Both on the same Spectrum keyboard. With the Symbol Shift key sellotaped down because that activated the walk-through-walls cheat.
We played for so long, we ran out of cassette from which to load the next set of levels (ah, the joys of multi-load cassette-based games!) and although we started the tape from the start again and that worked for a bit, somehow, incrementing the level number but repeating the maps, eventually the levels became more and more garbled until we hit one that wasn’t possible to complete. Fantastic!
Keys to select player are 5 and 8, then Space to choose. Keys on options screen are 6 and 7 for up and down, Space to select.
