The [[NES]] version of '''Gauntlet''' is a significant departure from [[Gauntlet|the arcade original]], keeping only the basic game formula and cast of enemies. 100 entirely new levels were constructed for this version, and the quest was given a definite goal: to retrieve a Magic Orb located in the 100th level, which could only be accessed by collecting portions of a password hidden in clue rooms scattered throughout the first 99 levels. The game includes all the items and enemies of the original and adds some of its own to the mix. A password system was also added, allowing the game to be saved. | The [[NES]] version of '''Gauntlet''' is a significant departure from [[Gauntlet|the arcade original]], keeping only the basic game formula and cast of enemies. 100 entirely new levels were constructed for this version, and the quest was given a definite goal: to retrieve a Magic Orb located in the 100th level, which could only be accessed by collecting portions of a password hidden in clue rooms scattered throughout the first 99 levels.

This is one of only three [[Tengen]] titles to be released as officially-licensed [[Nintendo]] cartridges (the others being [[Pac-Man]] and [[RBI Baseball]]). The game later returned to the arcades as a title for Nintendo's PlayChoice-10 hardware. An unlicensed version was later released following Tengen's split from Nintendo; this version was functionally identical but sported a black cartridge (instead of the grey used by licensed games) and came in a gold-trimmed box. | This is one of only three [[Tengen]] titles to be released as officially-licensed [[Nintendo]] cartridges (the others being [[Pac-Man]] and [[RBI Baseball]]).
