So my favourite arcade game to play with a bunch of mates, and also at home on the Amiga, was Gauntlet. Sure it's well dated now, but a new version is coming this summer.

Great that a new generation will get the chance to play it, will be awesome on the big screen with the new gen consoles.

My first ever 'big price' game I ever bought. Think it was a tenner, which now sounds like a hell of a lot of money for the mid eighties.

Blue Valkyrie is about to die !

ill be all over this like a tramp on chips.

Will it be any good though?

WB did a good job with Mortal Kombat I guess.

Fingers Crossed.

Bramcot leisure center, the spring of 1985

They swaped out the ghosts and goblins for a stonking 4 player gauntlet cab.

The first time id known pure multiplayer fun, happy days.

Yup, I am in on this...

233 · 17 Mar 2014 at 20:03

Narj · 17 Mar 2014 at 20:12

Will this be online multiplayer? If so I'm all over it like a rash!

Malevolence · 17 Mar 2014 at 20:30

One of the games that defined my teenage years, and still one of my all-time favourites. I'm all over this like stink on ****.

The multiplayer aspect supports local and online play, and the four characters will have specific strengths and weaknesses. Pleasingly, the valkyrie’s weakness isn’t bra-rmour. Quite the opposite in fact.

Looks like you'd better invest in some calamine lotion.
