    Gauntlet

    Game » consists of 7 releases. Released 1985

    A top-down fantasy action Arcade game from the 80s in which up to four players fended off hordes of enemies while navigating treacherous mazes. Its difficulty is legendary; players can still hear the cry "Wizard needs food, badly!" in their nightmares.

    Hey youuuu guuuuys! 
     
    Does anyone actually have Gauntlet on XBLA?  I know it was removed along with tonnes of other Midway games, but if you grabbed it back in the day you can still download it.  Basically, I'm looking for some people to play it with over Live.  Obviously quick matches/matchmaking is non existent these days, but I barely played it since I got it in an XBLA sale years ago and I don't like it half as much on my own.  As a side-note (not the main reason I want to play online) most of the achievements require online play which means they'll never ever be got now.  Bah. 
     
    Anyway, if you fancy some no-strings-attached, relaxed Gauntlet fun, send me an invite (gamertag = Bibamatt).

    Yeah, it'll still be available if you go through DL history.  I did it last night.  Got a new HDD and managed to still DL Robotron and Gauntlet despite them being de-listed.  So glad you can still get them down - still wish I'd thrown the money down on UMK3 before it got taken down.

    Who knows!  I'd love that.  I should trawl ebay...
