We’re diving deep into the dungeon to celebrate 40 years of Gauntlet, the legendary arcade game that changed the way we played together. Four players, endless enemies, and that unforgettable voice: “Wizard needs food… badly.” We explore the origins of Gauntlet, the factors that led to its critical and financial success, and how it helped pave the way for the co-op games we love today. So grab a potion, steer clear of Death, and let’s journey back to 1985. Gauntlet turns 40 – and it still rules the dungeon!
