Item Description

Gauntlet always belonged to the crowd around the cabinet, four strangers shoulder to shoulder hacking through endless hordes, and Gauntlet Legends brought that party home. Atari Games revived the series in arcades in 1998 with a full 3D dungeon crawler, its last Gauntlet game, and in September 1999 Midway released this Nintendo 64 version, the first home edition of Legends.

The story is classic sword-and-sorcery. The corrupt mage Garm used a set of Runestones to summon the demon Skorne, who promptly crushed him and scattered the stones across four realms. Your party fights through each realm, defeats its end bosses to earn the keys to the desecrated temple, and gathers thirteen Runestones, including one hidden in the battle grounds added for home versions, to chase Skorne into the Underworld for a final reckoning.

Legends was the entry that gave Gauntlet a role-playing backbone. The Warrior, Valkyrie, Wizard and Archer each start strongest in one stat, strength, armor, magic or speed, and level up as they slay monsters and gather treasure, all the way to level 99, with gold buying further stat boosts between stages. The N64 version introduced an inventory system for stocking items and triggering them when you need them, plus Sumner's tower and shop, and characters can be saved to a Controller Pak so a hero you built last weekend is ready for the next session.

Multiplayer is the reason to play. The cartridge supports up to three players on a standard console and all four with the Expansion Pak installed, with Rumble Pak support on top. Reviews were mixed to positive, with GamePro praising it as an impressive port of a polished arcade game and singling out the multiplayer, and Gauntlet Dark Legacy followed in 2000. With a full set of controllers and a few friends it is still the N64's best way to wade into an arcade dungeon crawl together.

About the game

The first console version of Gauntlet Legends, released in September of 1999. This game introduced an inventory system that allowed players to stock and activate items after they were obtained, with a few exceptions (Invulnerability and Anti-Death Halo). This is also the first Gauntlet game to feature Sumner's tower and his shop. Four-player co-op is supported, but only by making use of the Expansion Pak.
