REMEMBER the old Gauntlet? The arcade game in which up to four of you would hack and slash your way through a succession of dungeons?

This update stays true to the spirit, while making the whole thing look a good deal prettier.

Each of you can take different character types, such as knights, jesters, barbarians, wizards and work your way through level after level of foes, collecting keys and crystals as you go.

It's not the most groundbreaking title, but it's certainly fun and one of the best reasons for having a multi-tap adapter which will let four of you wreak havoc.
