    I know that old school Gauntlet is the crowd favourite, but I've been wishing for a remaster of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy for years and years now. The original game is still fun to play, but the unstable ~15 FPS is physically painful for me these days. To see it returned with improved graphics, online multiplayer, and a few of the old systems polished up, I think it could be a grand time.

      I know its not the same for some people, but you can get dark legacy running very smooth on the pcsx2 emulator. That's how my wife and I play it since we go back to it at least once a year and we've had a great experience with it.

      I loved Gauntlet Legends on the N64. It was so fun with 4 players splitscreen! One of the best coop games on the N64 in my opinion.

    But the music is god tier.

    The chromatic twang and deep bass sounds of the FM synth really elevates Sakimoto’s music to a level that I feel his more recent stuff doesn’t really achieve. Those songs are limited by reality while these songs seem only to be limited by his imagination.

    I enjoyed what i've played of Gauntlet: Slayer Edition which is a pretty nice revamp. Surprised there was no mention of it.
