About Gauntlet (PlayChoice-10)
Dungeons filled with enemies serve as the battlefield for up to four players choosing between Thor the Warrior, Thyra the Valkyrie, Merlin the Wizard, or Questor the Elf. Cooperative combat is balanced by competitive scavenging, as players must fight over limited food, treasure, and magic potions to sustain their health and progress through the maze.
Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.
