Gauntlet on the NES. A buddy and I wanted to see of there was an ending. Started Friday night, finished Monday morning. Apparently there isn't an ending in the NES version. I don't think I touched the NES for nearly three months after that.
Good luck.
I had this nice two part post but I lost it. Oh well.
In a nut shell. That video looks kind of dark and unrefined. Definitely not the way I remember it. I remember being it somewhat brighter and the tiles seemed to be a tad larger/detailed. I'm 100% certain there is no ending to the Gauntlet I own/played. After thinking about it, I thought maybe I did get it mixed up with something like Dark Chambers (which is similar and definitely does not end). So I pulled out my NES box and dug around until I found what I was looking for.
I have Gauntlet
II. To double check, I checked a couple of Walkthrus specific to GII NES. Though none of the writers went past level 200 (I'm pretty sure I reached way beyond that) they all believe the game never ends.
So there you go, I own and played Gauntlet II, not Gauntlet. Odd that Gauntlet II (NES) isn't even mentioned on Wikipedia yet the Gauntlet version is.
