Classic coin-op arcade game Gauntlet, which was originally developed in 1985, is set to be released on the Nintendo DS by Eidos Interactive.
According to Robert Lindsey, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Eidos, they will be offering a totally revamped iteration of the classic multiplayer action RPG, originally developed by Midway.
Set in a fantasy-themed universe where evil cloaks the world from the high clouds of Ascendia to the depths of the lava-ridden Abyss, it is a game which can be played by one to four players simultaneously, a unique feature for arcade games of its time.
The aim of the game is for players to choose from one of the four classic heroes Elf, Warrior, Wizard and Valkyrie, which each have their own strengths, weaknesses and special abilities.
Throughout the journey, players have to slash their way through demonic foes and gain up to four power move abilities to aid them in their battle with evil.
Gauntlet, which has been developed by Backbone Entertainment, is scheduled for release on the Nintendo DS this summer.
