On Reflection

We’re old enough to remember getting to level 100 on the ZX Spectrum version of this game. It was about then that we realised that the levels don’t in fact end and are just randomly generated. Pants. Utter pants; knock that down to a four.

The Score

When Gauntlet came out 20 years ago, it was hailed for its fast and furious gameplay. Now? It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. You’ll have about as much fun playing Gauntlet as you did reading this review.
