'''Gauntlet Legends''' is a three-dimensional [[dungeon crawler]] arcade game that was released by [[Atari Games]] in [[1998]], based on their classic [[:Category:Gauntlet|Gauntlet series]]. It runs on that company's Vegas hardware (an MIPS R5000 that runs at 200 MHz, with an Analog Devices ADSP-2104 that runs at 16 MHz), and the players have a choice between four basic [[Gauntlet Legends/Characters|characters]] of Warrior, Valkyrie, Wizard and Archer (elf), but there are also several bonus characters. The game is divided into five worlds with several levels each and the players' goal is to find obelisks and rune stones which shall restore the power of Sumner (this game's protagonist aside from the players) so he can defeat the evil demon Skorne. The players gain levels by killing enemies, and with every level their statistics improve. The success of the game led to an expansion of sorts, [[Gauntlet Dark Legacy]], in [[1999]] (the same year this game was converted to the [[Nintendo 64]] console by [[Midway Games]]), which featured new characters and worlds as well as those from this game. In [[2000]], the game was also converted to the [[Sony PlayStation]] and [[Sega Dreamcast]].

==Story==
==Story==
''This is taken from the backs of the ports' boxes, the fronts of which are displayed in the gallery below:''
In ages past, a corrupt mage named Garm used a set of Runestones to summon a demon named Skorne (It is not stated what Garm intended to use Skorne for; however, as Gauntlet Legends introduces Garm as a "greedy young mage", it can be assumed he wanted Skorne for his own personal gain.) However, Skorne crushed Garm and imprisoned his soul in the Underworld. Skorne, fearing the power of the Runestones, scattered them throughout the four realms, so that they could never be used against him. The player(s) must defeat the end bosses of each of the four realms to obtain the four keys which allow access to Skorne's temple. While traveling through each realm, he/she/they must also collect the Thirteen Runestones from where they have been scattered. The complete set of Runestones allows him/her/them to pursue Skorne to the Underworld in order to finally destroy him.

;What does "Outed" mean?: Outed is actually how I heard "is it."  After consulting somebody with better hearing than me, I changed it.  It means all the enemies will go after you first.  Useless in 1 player, but can be used as a strategy device in multi (make everything attack the warrior instead of the archer)

===Star Wars Sighting===
There are four debatable Star Wars references in game:
* The tentacles from the Castle Courtyard - similar to the creature from the garbage compactor on the Death Star.
* The Ricochet noise sounds like a blaster.
* The Ice Yeti looks a lot like the Hoth Ice Creature
* The scream of the suiciders sounds like the Tie Fighter fly-by, lowered in pitch.
