Reviews for Gauntlet: The Deeper Dungeons (#1994)

Review by Digital Prawn on 15 Sep 2012 (Rating: 5)

This is not a sequel to Gauntlet (That would be Gauntlet II), rather it's a "data tape" add-on for the first, excellent Gauntlet game. Its existence no doubt owed to the runaway success of the original game.

As such, this can only be awarded a score of five too, since the levels are just as imaginative (if not more so) than the originals. Apparently, some of the levels were the result of a competition, where the best user-designed levels were selected for inclusion in this pack. It's also noticeable that the levels are generally more difficult, so it's recommended to have played at least some of the original Gauntlet game first, all though by no means essential.

Not every hardware platform had this expansion ported to it. Luckily we do have it on the speccy though, much to my eternal gratitude. Back in the day, my friends and I probably spent more time on this expansion than on the original game itself.
