Overview
Description

Gauntlet brings back the iconic 4‑player co‑op action of the original arcade, letting you and friends choose from Warrior, Valkyrie, Elf, or Wizard to battle endless monster hordes in a fantasy dungeon. Levels blend handcrafted design with random generation, offering fresh challenges and treasure hunts each run. Play locally or online, solo or with a party, and experience fast‑paced hack‑and‑slash combat while navigating traps set by the evil wizard Morak. The game delivers a nostalgic yet fresh experience for fans of arcade‑style RPG action.

Knights of the Round is a classic Capcom arcade beat‑em‑up that blends hack‑and‑slash combat with RPG‑style heroics. Players control Arthur, Lancelot, or Perceval as they battle through seven stages to overthrow the tyrant Garibaldi and unite England, wielding the legendary Excalibur. The game’s unique blocking mechanic rewards timing and adds a tactical layer to the fast‑paced action, while a desperation attack clears the screen at a health cost. Co‑operative play lets up to three friends team up, making it a perfect arcade experience for both solo and group sessions. Its retro graphics and memorable soundtrack capture the mythic atmosphere of Arthurian legend.
