>>714739752 (OP) I used to play this game with my mom, dad, and brother as a kid on ps2. Recently played through it again with my best friend over netplay. Still just as fun. Champions of Norrath and RTA on pc when..
>>714744949 Well the rights are owned by WB Games, perhaps the single most retarded publisher in the entire industry, so there you go.

>>714739752 (OP) BLUE WARRIOR Been playing the NES gauntlet lately, honestly like it more than the arcade original for the music and the fact that you can melee attack spawners. What an awesome series
>>714739752 (OP) I wish they would scrap all the shit that came after with 7 Sorrows and go back to this. Arcade style with basic RPG hybrid mechanics, linear stages with a hub. They could use Diablo 3's arcade feel and scaling difficulty. But goddamn it's sad the series absolutely fell on its face after DL.
>>714739752 (OP) First game i remember playing til dawn with a friend.

I never thought about how much fucking work actually went into these games with how little actual asset re-use there is between levels other than the enemies per world.

>>714745246 >all the Yellow characters were black I always thought this was a bit limiting in terms of palettes
I didn't know until recently that there was an arcade version of Dark Legacy I only ever saw Legends cabinets. The levels in that version are in a way different order than the console version too, you're fighintg the final area enemies on like the second level of the Sorceress' realm.

Good times playing this game with my sister.. We would cheat and use "invuln" for our names for invulnerability and beat the game that way.

>>714744949 Its very โarcadeyโ a big no-no in the modern era of Soulsborne, moviegames, Fortnite, COD, gacha, mobile and Nintendo.
This song used to pop into my head every so often and I could never remember what it was from. It felt like winning a legitimate mental battle when I finally tracked the song down a couple of years ago.
>>714747734 I'm more autistic I get specific sounds from the game stuck in my head sometimes like Death dying, or the sound of picking up a crystal, or the FUCKING MENU SCROLLING
>>714747734 As muchas I loved Dark Legacy always bummed me out it was missing Castle Courtyard track from Legends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzi8mzjHNTs

>>714745364 It's due to giving them high contrast with their skin tone and a unified thematic. They're all egyptian-esque, and all black. WE
What a coincidence, I'm actually flying out of state to meet up with two of my best friends from the corps this weekend. We're gonna play all the way through this game and watch Jet Li's The One
>>714750125 Man, keep your military friends close. When I got out of the army, everyone went to the other different corners of the nation, and we never see each other. Some of them fell off the map, and I don't even know WHERE they're at since they don't answer texts. >marine You guys are my favorite cult. Never change.
>>714745309 it's fucked up that no one's even tried an indie homage, but i guess the era of couch and local co-op is so completely dead that games like this just can't really work anymore, not in the intended way anyway. netplay just isn't the same
>>714751003 I mean, shit like Helldivers 1 was good enough and i know there's been other top down, coop shooters/hack'n'slashes even if they failed Its a different mood for sure but the arcade days are simply gone now, not much you can do about it

>>714739752 (OP) Gauntlet Legends on Dreamcast was better than Gauntlet Dark Legacy on PS2, and I'll defend that statement as much as I need to.
>>714739752 (OP) Green Warrior so I can toss my teammates around. Sometimes they get pissy which is extra funny. 2nd choice is dwarf so I can ride niggas. Too bad all the other classes' team turbos kinda suck

>>714760898 How and why? The game is an unfinished mess that's 2h long and even le man of balance, Josh Sawyer had his name removed from it out of shame for working on it.
>>714761073 my mom liked seven sorrows more than dark legacy growing up and the rest of my family thought she was a fucking retard for it. but she also played clerics in champions of norrath so that was kind of a given.

what is everyone's opinion on gauntlet slayers edition on steam? I want to play it multiplayer. are servers still running? is it better than it was on release? is it more fun compared to dark legacy or is it crap compared to it?
>>714761073 I just like it. Played through it with some brothers, had fun making up what the characters shouted during their d-pad attacks, and so on. Idk what else there is to say. I still chuckle to myself every now and again when the Valkyrie voice line I decided sounds like "Eat my shit" pops into my head.

>>714761212 It's more of a remake of the original NES era Gauntlet. Its an ok game on its own but absolutely does not compare to Legends and Dark Legacy.
seven sorrows had some goofy extra costumes. like a 4chan anonymous for jester, and sailor moon school uniform and bdsm getup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwnOXADbhJI&t=82s

>>714761438 >nes gauntlet >that second level with lots of doors and each giving you one key to unlock the next one but you have to be careful which door to open to not get locked out of all the loot >miss one door with loot so close
