Gauntlet Legends

Description

As many as four (Expansion Pak required) can band together in an epic quest through seven magical worlds -- three of which are brand-new to the home version -- to defeat the vile Skorne. The nonlinear action begins in a hub, which leads to the worlds, each with two to five levels. You can complete a level in one world, then move to another world, returning later to finish a new level in the first world. Developer Atari Games has delivered four new characters in addition to the four in the arcade version. Each character will have unique special attacks. Controller Pak support will allow players to team their evolving characters. Enemies, bosses, power-ups, music and sound effects are all getting radical makeovers. Atari is busily remapping carryover levels and cooking up devious new puzzles and hiding places for items, so don't even think of cribbing from the coin-op version.

Graphical updates include real-time lighting, which is nowhere to be found in the arcade version. The N64 Expansion Pak pushes plenty of polygon-based enemies onto the screen. The essential action -- team up with others, find keys, magic, runes and other items, and beat the stuffing out of anyone in your way -- remains unchanged from the arcade hit. Atari has delivered a far meatier storyline, though, spiffed up by cinema cut-scenes at the successful conclusion of a world.

Glitches

No Enemies!

Get the item that stops time, there is one on the second level, first stage. Once you get the item, do not quit, but finish the level. Choose the item menu. Go to the Boss, but turn on your time-freezing item right before it kills you. Be sure to continue, not quit. Now, when you come back, and go to a level, everything will be frozen; no damage from anything. This works anywhere except on bosses. This code works until you turn off your console.

Unlimited Shrink Glitch

Have one player go buy or pick up a shrinking potion. Enter any normal stage(no bosses), and let enemies attack you. Do not activate the shrink yet. Make sure the player holding the shrink is the last one alive, and when he/she is at about 30 health, activate the shrink and keep it on until that player dies. Then, exit the level, sell the shrinking potion, go to any stage, and the enemies should be permanently shrunken. If another shrinking potion is activated at any time during the glitch, the glitch will be deactivated.
