Gauntlet Arcade Game Tapestries
Description: Gauntlet is a fantasy-themed hack-and-slash arcade game developed and released in 1985 as one of the first multiplayer dungeon crawl games. The core design of Gauntlet comes from 1983 8-bit dungeon crawler, Dandy, and also bears striking resemblance to the action-adventure maze game Time Bandit. The arcade version of Gauntlet was released in November 1985 and was initially available only as a dedicated four-player cabinet and a two-player cabinet variant in June 1986, aimed at operators who didn’t have sufficient space for the four-player version. The game is set within a series of top-down, third-person, orthographic mazes where the object is to find and touch the designated exit in every level.
Description: Are you a retro gamer wanting to let others know what you’re all about? This “You Are Full of Bombs and/or Keys” design featuring Gauntlet’s full inventory message should do the trick and if someone does bite on this particularly obscure bait, befriend and/or date them as they are obviously super cool.
