Gauntlet is an iconic four-player arcade game first released in 1985. It's a top-down hack-and-slash adventure that tasks players with exploring dungeons and battling monsters. Players assume the roles of a warrior, elf, valkyrie, or wizard, and each of these characters has unique abilities and weapons. The goal is to complete a level by taking out all of the enemies, and then advance to the next level.
Gauntlet was revolutionary for its time, as it was the first game to feature cooperative play, allowing four players to join together and conquer dungeons together. It also featured a unique health system that would slowly decrease over time. This health system prevented players from simply running through the level and encouraged them to explore and battle enemies.
Gauntlet is considered to be a genre-defining game, as it became hugely influential in the development of other dungeon-crawling games, including Diablo and The Legend of Zelda. It was one of the most popular arcade games of the 1980s and continues to be a classic to this day. Gauntlet remains a popular classic due to its simple yet intense gameplay, its cooperative multiplayer mode, and its enduring legacy.
