Gauntlet The Deeper Dungeons C64

Description

Gauntlet The Deeper Dungeons C64

Gauntlet: The Deeper Dungeons is an expansion pack for the original computer ports of Gauntlet with 512 new levels. The player requires the original game to play the expansion. Available player characters are Merlin the wizard, Thor the warrior, Thyra the valkyrie, and Questor the elf. The pack significantly increases the amount of enemies to fight. The blue flashing traps appear right from the beginning of the game; these traps remove the walls holding back the enemies. There are also more Deaths to be encountered.

Invisibility amulets and healing potions are more common than in the original game, as is poisoned cider. There is a limit on item inventory, so if players pick up too many potions they will not have enough room for the keys they need. It was released in 1987 by the British company U.S. Gold in the UK and Europe, and Mindscape in the United States for the Amstrad CPC, MSX, Atari ST, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum ports of Gauntlet. It was developed by Gremlin Graphics.

Many of its levels were entries in a competition throughout Europe in which ten winners were awarded prizes, a Gauntlet T-shirt and a copy of the program for their computers. The contest was announced in the instructions of many of the ported games. The levels are presented randomly and its artwork is the side panel artwork of the arcade cabinet with only the main characters shown. The enemies were removed from the image and replaced with a pink background.
