Gauntlet II: 4 player NES action!
Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2004 11:31 am
I remember the day when I waltzed to Rhino games one early early morning with Hyper Shadow. I found my dear beloved "Wrecking Crew" cart that I'd been searching for my whole life. Along with it, we decided to buy Rampage so that we'd get a free game (Buy 2 get one free). Well, we got Rampage and Wrecking Crew, and the free game that we chose was Gauntlet II.
We got it home, and the game was alright. I mean, nothing too special. You're 2 guys running around trying to get to the highest level possible. There are like a billion levels though. So we said "cool" and kinda shuffled it to the side.
Now, I got some money for getting good grades on my report card. I waltzed back to Rhino yesterday and I saw something very interesting and decided to buy it:
NES "fourscore"
I decided hey, may as well buy another control or so for t3h NES so that we can play 4 player. I got these bad boys as well:
NES "advantage"
and some random controller.
Anyway, I got those things home. My friend Drakor was here. We decided to bust out that Gauntlet game that we sorta brushed to the side. I swear, four player makes all of the difference.
The simple push B to shoot 2 player thing became a 4 player strategy/party game. We could of played that all night long. The game is so long too, so that's hours of fun for 4 people.
I'm amazed. I never thought the NES could actually be fun playing 4 player. I was wrong though, I'd rather play that 4 player than almost any multiplayer game on market. That's just freaking amazing.
Here are some screenz of Gauntlet II just in case you're asking yourself: "WTF?"
It seems as though the poor fool who took these screenshots had no NES fourscore
Yeah, that might look a little lame to the typical, naive mind. But TRUST me, this game is a drug when used four player.
