Good conversion and very faithful to the arcade original and even had the option for 4 players if you had the necessary add on to use extra joysticks. Good audio, graphics and music at the start.
All in all a great wee game

Quite a good conversion. I liked this one quite a lot. Good game, this was.

Know what you mean Squap - I still find myself saying "Blue Warrior shot the food!" though perhaps less frequently than previously.

Too difficult (well, that seems to be natural for an arcade game). I recall it being a bit too hectic and intimitating for me, but it was good.

'Elf needs food, BADLY' - I still find myself say that when I'm hungry. People look at me like I'm an insane person. Playable and addictive game - well ported from the coin-op to the Amiga.

I felt this was something great when I was a kid. Though, the game with endless levels seems to be a bit pointless. Nice game anyway. Lots of different tiles and enemies.

Used to have great laugh playing this with my bro as the speech and sound effects became distorted sometimes! As a game it's just typical Gauntlet which I played out completely on the C64 so the Amiga's was nothing new.

This is a game for 2 players at least. And then it's a action packed winner. Great conversion.

I cant recall playing this game once without developing a massive headache. Was it the graphics, the end that never came, the boredom, the cancer? I don't know.

A spot on conversion of one of the biggest games in the arcades at the time. I remember playing it with a parallel port adapter and four people in front of my parents' big TV. It was one of those rare, uncanny, 'just like the arcades but at home' experiences.
With less than four people it was pretty dull, and like the arcade the appeal was short-lived either way - there were literally hundreds of levels, and with infinite credits you could just plough through them until everyone got tired and you switched it off. I can't imagine anyone being able to get through them all. But it was still great fun, and one of the best arcade conversions on the Amiga. 9/10.

If you enjoyed the arcade game you'll like this, especially with a mutliadaptor and 3 friends.
But it really is Avergae with a capital A - doesn't date very well at all and I still cannot fathom today why many got hooked on the arcade game back then.
Oh yes, cause back then this was "Wow".
