Gauntlet (ガントレット) is a 1985 arcade game by Atari Games. In 1993, subsidiary Tengen published an expanded remake on the Sega Mega Drive, calling it Gauntlet in Japan and Gauntlet IV elsewhere. This remake was developed by M2.
Contents
Quest Mode Storyline
In the game's world, adventurers are people who go out to solve mysteries through adventure, turning the mysteries into legends. One mystery remains, called "The mystery protected by the old castle towers." These towers — representing the elements fire, earth, wind, and water — are enchanted with a curse which you, the adventurer willing to unravel the mystery, must break to enter the castle and find the rumored treasure inside.
Gameplay
shoots your weapon, which will go to the edge of the screen unless it hits something. START will open the pause menu, which cycles between status, equipment, items, and password for continuing later with the D-pad. 
uses a magic potion, collected during the course of the game. Holding 
and pressing START "inserts a coin", adding health to the current player and decreasing the global credit (coin) count (both of which are configurable in the Options screen).
Modes
Gauntlet IV contains the original up-to-four-players arcade mode as well as three new modes:
- Quest Mode: where players fight through five towers full of Gauntlet gimmicks
- Battle Mode: where two or more players compete to survive in either a Normal Battle, Equal Battle, or Password Battle
- Record Mode: where players try to run through the original levels to see who can get through first
These new modes are accompanied by new music composed by Masaharu Iwata and Hitoshi Sakimoto.
