Play Gauntlet Iv (usa, Europe) (en,ja) (september 1993) Online

Gauntlet IV came out for the Sega Genesis in 1993, published by Tengen. It was a home console version of the arcade game, arriving at a time when translating that kind of multiplayer action to a living room was still a notable challenge.

You pick one of four characters, the Warrior, Valkyrie, Wizard, or Elf, and venture through a series of maze-like dungeons. Your main goal is to survive screen by screen, fighting off endless spawns of ghosts, grunts, and demons while hunting for the exit. You are constantly managing three resources: health ticks down steadily, ammunition for your projectile attacks is limited, and you need keys to open certain doors. The pace is relentless; you are always moving, shooting, and searching for the next food item to keep your life bar from emptying. It feels like a tense, cooperative scramble against the game's clock and your own supplies.
