Today, on LCD Longplay, we play through the 1988 Tiger Electronics release of Gauntlet.

The player can choose between fighting as either Thor the Warrior or Thyra the Valkyrie.

CONTROLS:
Besides the directional buttons, the handheld has four other action buttons for use in the game: one to attack, one to pick up, one to use a key, and one to use a bomb.

The Gauntlet Story

The black clouds swirled over the heads of the chosen ones. Four had come this far, but only two could continue. The portal to their deadly challenge awaited. Foreboding screams rose up from the Gauntlet.
Morak the Evil one cackled in glee as he watched the intrepid warriors prepare to end their most terrible Gauntlet. He knew they would never reach their goal. The Sacred Orb would remain forever imprisoned at the lowest level of the Gauntlet. Without the Sacred Orb, Morak knew the mortals that inhabited Rendar would be helpless against his evil magic.
Morak had plundered the lands and hidden his booty in the Gauntlet. He garrisoned his henchmen in the Gauntlet to guard it. There were ghosts, grunts, demons, sorcerers, and even incarnations of Death himself.
But, could the Sacred orb be in the Gauntlet? No mortal knows for sure. If nothing else, the warriors could retrieve the treasures of Rendar that Morak had plundered and stored in the Gauntlet. If only all four warriors could all continue on this, the last leg of their quest. Alas, the portal only allowed passage of two mortals. The warriors need your help. Choose the warrior that shall continue: Become Thor the Warrior or Thyra the Valkyrie.
The fate of Rendar is in your hands.
