What We Said Then
Jaz: Gauntlet has appeared on virtually every home computer system on Earth and I'm glad to say that the Sega version tops the lot for sheer addictive playability.
Matt: I was flabbergasted by this game - it's fast, furious and above all, faithful to the coin-op.What We Say Now
Jaz: Another top-notch conversion whose marks are just as right now as they were then.
Rich: This is still a brilliant coin-op conversion that's just as fresh and exciting as it was the day we first plugged it into the Master System, I wouldn't tinker with any of the marks, they're all fine.
