    I used to love this game at the arcade when I was a kid, now not so much. It's great fun on LIve, but unless the others are die hard fans, it can be annoying to play with others.

    same original arcade goodness. its fun to play this and then look at more modern dungeon crawlers and see how far this genre has come. Gauntlet still reigns as the best and original, however. the only downfall this game has is the unlimited coin thing. you can infinitely hit the Y button and add on enough health to survive a nuclear fall out. its just not fun when you have 900000+ health.

    An OK game that could be a LOT better. Needs to be updated desperately. I don't know what the characters have done but they've annoyed a lot of baddies - not enough potions, treasure, health, rewards, good things - it seems all bad bad bad.

    Visually and aurally the game is pretty much the same as before. Of course, running the game on an HD set will make it sharper, but this game still looks and sounds much like it did in 1985.
  2. The worst part is, you can basically hit a button to get more and more health, as opposed to adding quarters in the arcades back in the day.
  3. Four-player online support makes the Xbox Live Arcade version of this fantasy arcade classic a worthwhile, inexpensive indulgence for nostalgic fans of the good old days of gaming.
