Is this board too young to appreciate this game?

Green wizard has gained a level

>that one spot in game you could farm them for easy levels

I remember playing the fuck out of Gauntlet Legends with my bro on n64. We were super hyped for Dark Legacy, but only ever got to play it at the mall (it still had arcade machines).
Didn't this get a shitty reboot with like, no character unlocks and shit?

Is there anyway to play this game now?
I dont think my ps2 works anymore

WELCOME BACK! RED MINOTAUR!

Gamecube emulation is your best bet. Be warned, it will run at the original 15-30fps

YOU HAVE DEFEATED THE MIGHTY DRAGON AND RECOVERED ITS SHARD.

Dolphin gamecube version

For those asking you can play gauntlet dark legacy online with up to 4 players. You have to use the emulator Dolphin, and utilize netplay. You also have to share the same gamecube memory card file. It's pretty easy, have done it with a few other anons.

My friends and I used to play the shit out of this game. Fun game, many sleepovers were spent playing this with a lot of snacks.

There was a reboot of Gauntlet but it was more based on the original, not anything like Legends/Dark Legacy.

RED DWARF. BLUE KNIGHT. GREEN JESTER. YELLOW TITLADY.

Thank you anons. This thread is comfy nostalgia kino

accidentally discovering the minotaur was a defining moment of my childhood. Today he would be 5 dollar DLC.

Unicorn was a bitch to unlock. Unless you played solo, for every additional player they added an extra 25 tokens to collect for each secret level..

That sounds awesome. Im gonna try this. Thanks.
Is it hard to do all this and set up? I tried downloading an emulator today and it was loaded with shovel ware. Im scared to get a virus

Aye, that 2014 game was actually quite fun, the issue though was that its level & visual design was about as dead and lifeless as a thanksgiving turkey. It's also just named "Gauntlet" for god knows why, furthering confusion.

Agreed. I enjoyed some of it. But it was pretty dumbed down. It played more like a mobile game and only had like 16 levels

The music used in the secret level in question... Just wait till it hits the halfway point...

Not hard at all, download dolphin, a STABLE VERSION, not the most recent, you need stable for good netplay, not the newer stuff that's not supported yet. Finding gauntlet dark legacy shouldn't be too hard, if you have trouble i can link you where to find it though..

>tfw you will never play as them because they're a pain in the ass to get to, there's no cheat to unlock them, and there are no complete save files online

The spider boss in the jungle, you gain minimum 2/3 levels per fight. Even in the 90's

IN ANCIENT TIMES THE EVIL MAGE, user, USING THE POWER OF SHITPOSTS, RELEASED A GREAT EVIL UPON THE LAND
THIS DEMON, BARNEYFAG, BROKE FREE OF user'S CONTROL, CRASHING THE THREAD WITH NO SURVIVORS

at the beggining of one of the ice world levels (the one that started you on a ship) one of the chests on that ship are a guaranteed black death. Pop a halo, drain exp from it, then just restart the level and repeat till max level.

My friend and I found out way back if you buy max inv of magic and go into the spider boss you pretty much kill it by going under the boss and spamming all your magic. Then just finish it off real quick, get tons of gold to buy more magic and you lvl a few times every time

I'm pretty sure you can't just back out of a level, and keep the experience. So unless you do the entire level it's a waste of time. The mountain boss the dragon is great up to say level 40. Then the spider chick in the jungle to 99. Plus the money you get after each fight you can buy your stats to 999 easily, or power-ups to kill said bosses faster for even more exp.

I missed out on this game but I have a friend who loves Legends so I might get a copy and play it with him and some other friends. Anything I should know going in?

Avoid poison food, use combo attacks by alternating your attack buttons. Utilize your turbo when you can, as it regenerates over time and is great to kill a bunch of enemies. Keep an anti death and save it for the BLACK death, as it will grant you a level an experience, otherwise if it touches you, it will drain your exp. RED deaths steal HP, and either death can be slain with magic. But are easy enough to run around and dodge. Hit walls frequently as many items are hidden behind walls that can be destroyed.. Other than that have fun, every character is pretty great so pick what you want to play as.

EYEM SO HAPPY FOR U

Pojo, has gained a level!

potions get rid of reapers
Red one is the scarier one, he drains your exp

if you have the halo item, you can steal exp from him though

Is that yours? How much did it cost?

Also, if you miss a runestone, one of the key items to progressing the story, at the end of the level you'll hear the antagonist cry out. "You'll never find all of my runestones! ahahaha!" or something similar. When you hear that, it means there was a runestone in that specific level, and missed it, sort of giving you a hint to go back and get it if you don't know where they all are.

I dont own any Gauntlet games but they are tied to good memories.

I played Legends on Dreamcast with the third guy my mom was fucking it was good times.

At the local arcade when I was like 10 (that I ended up managing about a decade later) the Gregor incarnate owner loaded up Gauntlet Dark Legacy with a loads of credit and we played for hours.

I played a lot of Gauntlet Seven Sorrows, as shit as it was, online alot with my friend on his PS2.

I only finished Seven Sorrows I guess.

I don't remember that at all, and I know we missed a lot quite often.

Yeah it's a thing. Also once you finish all the levels besides the rune portal one you get hints and guides to finding the runestones when you backtrack. It will also let you know when a runestone is near, which doesn't happen till you reach that last world.

when i was 14 me and a few guys would ride our bikes to the bowling alley to play arcade Gauntlet Legends. We were so poor, we would save lunch money to play it, and the guys who worked there would give us hotdogs free (so we would go there after school for dinner). thinking about this makes me sad but also fills me with heavy longing. one of the his went to jail last year for killing a girl, cutting her up and trying to use Lyft to carry the pieces in a large tote. another guy od'd.

More like classic Gauntlet than Legends/Dark Legacy.

It was okay. But it was too short and not enough variety in levels or enemies. And the artstyle was bad

I used to bug my parents into taking my brother, my friend, and I to the mall a half hour away instead of our local ones just because it was the only one whose arcade had CarnEvil and Gauntlet Dark Legacy. I was about to wax nostalgic about it to an user who posted that same mall in a mall thread on Yea Forums the other day (small world, because it's just some bumfuck suburb mall, nothing famous), but it got deleted before I could post.

This just reminds me of the days I actually had 3 other friends I played this with many years ago.

Only ever got the minotaur. Vidya rental stores died before I could ever play it again.

i would buy the newish one if it had cool unlockable characters

One user recommended a game called Forced
I played victor vran with a friend and enjoyed it quite a bit. Probably wouldnt be as fun solo though

nearly 20 yrs I didn't know. I should text my friend that I used to play with and let him know too.

You should user. Go play with ur friend. I wish i could still play this game

This game is solely meant to played co-op. I actually recently played it again for the first time in years a week ago along with Gauntlet Legends(N64 version) and it was way too boring.
It just feels like it goes on forever and is basically just the same set of levels across 8.5 worlds, with a different coat of paint for each one. The regular levels give fuck all for treasure compared to the much faster and repeatable bosses.
There's plenty of variety but its all cosmetic, its great to have all of the different characters in this one compared to Legends, but at the end of the day there are only 4 actual classes split between the 17 characters.
Warrior/Minotaur/Dwarf/Ogre, Archer/Tigress/Jester/Hyena, Valkyrie/Falconess/Knight/Unicorn, and Wizard/Jackal/Sorceress/Medusa/Sumner
The special boss items are weirdly spread out. For instance, you get the burning scroll for the yeti in the first world, but you don't actually fight him until the 7th world. Then you don't find the holy book for the 1st world's boss until the 4th world, by which point you should've already been strong enough to slap that boss' shit without it.
It probably goes without saying that this game is best enjoyed in co-op, when you're constantly trying to out-jew your group for treasure.
The Sumner announcer and the character Voice Lines are all top tier though.

Agreed! Its a co op must
But everyone already knows that user

I played this with a multitap with my step dad, mom, and half brother. They all died to Garm and I just barely beat him on my valkyrie. We had spent months playing the game together and finally finished it. Then we ordered pizza.

I even remember who played what.
Stepdad was Green Warrior
Mom was Red Valkyrie
Brother was Yellow Archer
I was Blue Valkyrie

Fuck what happened to time. They got divorced and I barely even talk to my brother anymore.

>Go play with ur friend
he lives far away now, but we talk a couple times a year and every once in a while I send something that takes me back to when we would just spend entire weekends playing together. I sent him this a few months back
youtube.com/watch?v=-ZQk3ig-i_s
come to think of it we played a lot of midway games.
it's a shame they went under and WB is just sitting on all those IPs

was this on gamecube? I vaguely remember playing it but it might've been the n64 one instead.

>psi-ops
this game is really underrated

I wish retarded 16 year old me hadn't sold my Gamecube copy to FUCKING GAMESTOP back in the day, I loved that game and I wish I could play it again.

Thanks I'm going to post that as a spoiler in the future.

It's isometric like the original Gauntlet, so it's not very similar to Legends and Dark Legacy. But yeah, it's pretty fun in its own right.

if you love this gauntlet, you should definitely try the quest mode of Gauntlet 4 on the genesis

its top down, like classic gauntlet, but in addition to the 'leveling' that dark legacy has, it also has equipment, and special items that give you abilities like bouncing shots, floating, healing, etc

its basically more of a puzzle game than classic gauntlet is, because any time you trigger a glowing tile that alters the level, that change is permanent, so you have to travel back and forth between levels to open the path all the way to the bottom of the 5 dungeons, its fantastic, easily the best gauntlet

>ended on a cliffhanger and the the series died
a damn swift kick in the nuts, but it's such a fun game. I don't think I've even seen someone say they didn't enjoy it, but I don't think it got a lot of attention. even the coop which sounds like a terrible idea is a blast with a friend.

I heard the new one on PC actually was good though. Redpill me on why it supposedly wasn't.

Legends was on N64 and Dreamcast and Dark Legacy was on Gamecube/PS2/XBOX

dark legacy was literally gauntlet legends but with added shit

the 2014 one? I didn't think the level design was all that great, but honestly I don't remember a whole lot about it. it was still enjoyable with a group.

For the most part, but there were some slight differences.
In the N64 version of Legends you can toggle powerups and bring them between levels as well as see how much time you have left on them.
In Legends you don't need to collect crystals/gold beast items to progress through worlds.
I'm not sure if its actually different in Dark Legacy because I didn't notice it, but in Legends you get more XP for melee attacks/kills than you get with ranged.

Does this game and Legends still run like shit in MAME? I heard the arcade versions have exclusive content.

items work that way in dark legacy as well, except for the timer afaik. crystals and gold beast parts are literally a non-issue. More levels, characters, and items in dark legacy

Basically it was just okay. Its really short and doesnt have much level or enemy variety. Bosses are lackluster as well and look cartoonish rather than menacing.
Also. Thats 5 years ago! Time for a new one

You can't toggle items in Dark Legacy iirc. I didn't really mean that the crystals/beast parts were an issue, but since we're on the subject, they did feel more tedious than the obelisks in Legends.
You're more or less required to full clear every level in a world in order to meet the requirements to unlock the next world by the time you finish the current one. Occasionally you'll find secret areas in early worlds with 1 or 2 crystals for much later worlds, but they're ultimately meaningless at that point because you need over 200 of them, and the world right before it will have plenty of them. Also most of the new levels are as long as the longer end game levels in Legends so full clearing all of them is a chore. Not to mention if you're a couple crystals short and you're forced to go through a level just to get them.

you absolutely can toggle items in dark legacy, with the exception of a few of them (like turbo)

I just looked it up, and apparently the PS2 version didn't have toggling items, but the other ports(or at least the xbox one) apparently did.
