Gauntlet Legends is a 3D Action/RPG game based on the original arcade game that everybody played in the late 80's/early 90's.  You have a choice between 4 basic characters; Warrior, Valkyrie, Archer(read “Elf”) and Wizard.  There are bonus characters attainable in the game.  You save your games and characters on the Memory Pak.  The game supports up to 4 people, but the it is completely playable by 1 player.  The game is broken up into 5 "worlds" with several levels in each world.  Your goal is to find obelisks and rune stone use to restore the power of Sumner, so he can defeat the evil demon Skone.  You gain levels by killing things, and with each level your stats improve.

====================
== 3.  Characters ==
====================
*** Warrior ***
Name:          Koric
Basic Weapon:  Axe
Familiar:      Dragonfly
Prime Stat:    Strength
</pre>
The Warrior hits hard, and can take the same punishment back.  It’s a very forgiving character for the beginning player.  His magic is weak, so don’t expect potions to save you every time.  If you get him in a crowd of baddies, he swings his axe with double strokes, and mows stuff down pretty darn quick.

Starting Stats
  Strength:  150
  Speed:    115
  Armor:    120
  Magic:      90
*** Valkyrie ***
Name:          Freya
Basic Weapon:  Sword
Familiar:      Eagle
Prime Stat:    Armor
</pre>
The Valkyrie is the female counterpart to the Warrior.  Her emphasis is more on taking damage, rather than dealing it.  Average speed and magic abilities make her a balanced character, another good choice for a newbie.

Starting Stats
  Strength:  130
  Speed:    130
  Armor:    130
  Magic:    100
*** Archer ***
Name:          Aeowyn
Basic Weapon:  Bow
Familiar:      Butterfly
Prime Stat:    Speed
The Archer (I still think she should be the Elf) is the fastest
7character.  Her bow can be shot at a very fast rate, but in a toe-to-toe
fight, she’s going down.  The Archer is a difficult character to start
out with, because one big rush, and it’s over.  The Archer does make an
excellent backup for the Warrior or Valkyrie in a multiplayer game.
Starting Stats
  Strength:  100
  Speed:    145
  Armor:      80
  Magic:    100
*** Wizard ***
Name:          Siris
Basic Weapon:  Staff
Familiar:      Dragon
Prime Stat:    Magic
The Wizard is your typical scholar.  His distance attacks are the best,
and his magic is above all the rest.  A little easier for a novice
player, because of the good damage from a distance, and the better
effect of potions in a jam.  The wizard will get his mystical butt
kicked in close quarters though, so beware.
Starting Stats
  Strength:  80
  Speed:    120
  Armor:      90
  Magic:    160
*** Bonus Characters ***
    The bonus characters are attainable through the game in bonus
worlds, located in certain levels.  You access the level by standing on
the door with the skull and crossbones on it.  You must gather 50 of the
coins in those levels to unlock those characters.  They're basically all
skins for the base classes.  You really don’t need a guide for each
bonus levels.  If you walk on two legs you’re overqualified to figure
them out.
    The only catch with them is once you switch to a bonus character,
you’re stuck with the bonus characters.  If you’re playing a wizard,
then switch to the Minotaur, you’re gonna have to earn the Jackal to
play as a wizard again.  Your stats themselves don’t change, but you
have to remember to take on the fighting aspects of your new class.
    The up side is that once you have the “basic” 4 bonus characters,
you can essentially switch your class any time you’re not in a level. 
Going into a close quarter melee level?  Grab your Minotaur.  Expecting
more distanced combat?  Tigress to the rescue.
    I’ve been asked, so I’ll address it.  Each player must collect 50
coins to switch to the bonus characters.  Just because one person has
access to them doesn’t mean that anybody who plays with them will have
access to them, but since the newer player will have access to all the
levels the older player has, the older player can take them to the bonus
worlds and let them collect the coins.  Simple as that.
Minotaur (Warrior)
  How to get:  Mountain Cliff
Tigress (Archer)
  How to get:  Town Fields
Falconess (Valkyrie)
  How to get:  Castle Treasury
Jackal (Wizard)
  How to get:  Ice Camp
Sumner (Wizard)
  How to get:  Battlefield Trenches (Not Fortress like I said before,
      Thanks to MATT223344@aol.com for pointing out my mistake.)
