Based on the ITV game show, Run the Gauntlet has you compete in one of many disciplines, including, Off-Road Racing such as Buggys and Speedcats, Aqua-Racing such as Speedboats and Hovers as well as the dreaded Hill. Always was a good game to play back in the day, it probably won't appeal to some but the variety in this game makes this stand out although it can get a bit samey in parts. And I for the life of me can NEVER get up that blooming hill!

If you're lucky enough to remember the show you'd want to give this a go.

Another game based on some TV show no one outside the UK (and maybe Ireland) has never heard of, Run The Gauntlet is in fact a collection of sub-games all featuring some off-the-wall racing competitions.

Technically it's good - clear, colorful graphics and nice sound effects - but in spite of the different parts, there's no much variety there. The game basically boils down to racing around a circuit trying to arrive before the other contestants. There's simply not enough to do to make it hold the player's interest for a long time.

Always found this to be a nuisance as it's hard to control and can be quite repetitive. And The Hill is a nightmare. Not a game I would consider to be a success.
