DescriptionSimilar to the previous games in this series. The designers have made each of the eight realms extremely deep and complex. Each realm has its unique challenges, from fire-breathing dragons to fang-toothed goblins to maniacal boss monsters.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationMidway West, formally Atari Games, made a custom cabinet for the game and later released a JAMMA conversion kit for Gauntlet Legends and other cabinets.Game IntroductionThis game is very similar to the previous game Gauntlet Legends except the players can each choose to be up to eight different characters instead of just four although the game can only have up to four players.Besides the Warrior, the Valkyrie, the Wizard and the Archer, the four newest player characters include the Knight, the Sorceress, the Dwarf and the Jester. Each of the new characters have distinct characteristics and fighting styles. The Knight uses a sword like the Valkyrie, the Sorceress uses magic like the Wizard, the Dwarf is a hammer-flinging fiend with awesome strength and the Jester can strategically lob bombs at his enemies. This variety adds new strategic elements to the game, especially when players are working together to play off each other's strengths. There are even special unified attack combo moves that players can activate by working together. The unified attack capabilities, combined with a full arsenal of unique weapons, dozens of secret codes and passwords that access alternate characters and effects, provide for an incredible variety of intense attack options during critical battles. MiscellaneousThere's even a bonus Battlefield realm for advanced players.Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Common - There are 30 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 21 of them are original dedicated machines, 5 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 4 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 5 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - There are 4 VAPS members currently looking for this game. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TriviaThe fourth game in the Gauntlet series carries the Midway "M" logo since the former Atari Games company is now known as Midway Games West.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Gauntlet Dark Legacy Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Midway.
