"GAUNTLET"/"THE THIRD ENCOUNTER" PA2024 Atari Lynx New Sealed in Damaged Box. Cartridge and Manual are not damaged. A tari Games' Gauntlet is an arcade classic. The Lynx got a very special episode of the never-ending battle between warriors and evil ghosts, warlocks and other monsters.
Some maybe confused by all the Gauntlet
versions. First there was Gauntlet
which was an arcade game and then later ported to the ST and XL. Gauntlet II
was the successor and is regarded as one of the best arcade conversions ever made for the Atari ST. It was also one of the few games that supported the four player adapter and it even featured digitized speech.
Then there was Gauntlet III
. This game only appeared on home computers and used isometric pseudo 3D graphics. Gauntlet III
was an average game and couldn't compete with the first and second part. The Lynx- Gauntlet III
has nothing to do with the other Gauntlet III
. It was developed by Epyx and one of the first Lynx games.
Once you switch on your Lynx you will see that Gauntlet III
is one of those games that require you to rotate your Lynx. After pressing a button the character selection appears. If you have played the successors you will know that they had only four different characters (Elf, Valkyrie, Wizard, Warrior). Only the Valkyrie and Wizard remained of the original crew but there are new characters: Pirate, Gunfighter, Samurai, Android, Nerd (!) and Punkrocker (!). Don't be too enthusiastic about the latter one - there is no punk rock in Gauntlet III
. Every character differs from the other in terms of speed, strength and number of missiles.
The character appears inside a labyrinth. Although Gauntlet III
always featured a few RPG elements your main task is to shoot monsters and collect items. Your health is constantly decreasing even if you avoid any battle but you can regain health by collecting food. Other items are keys to unlock doors and potions. The monsters are coming from everywhere but this time there are no monster generators to worry about. The first enemies are scorpions, ghosts are introduced in stage two. Your character can only carry a limited amount of items.
The game's graphics are sharp and good...... http://www.ataritimes.com/index.php?ArticleIDX=203 "If you do not understand something about an auction then PLEASE contact us and get an answer you understand before purchasing.
