Originally released by Atari Games in 1985 Gauntlet started its entertaining life as a four player arcade game that excelled at multi-player high speed action, with co-operative game play an essential part of survival. It was also famous for its TI speech synthesis chip that narrated the game, Warrior needs food or don’t shoot the food, the Elf shot the food. Spreading to consoles and computers the game quickly became a massive success.
