This was one of my favourite games back in the day, I'm afraid I can't give it much love nowadays as I now see it as nothing more than a Gauntlet ripoff rather than the greatest game of my youth.

Sure pretty nice graphics combined with one of the most impressive tunes on the Spectrum, but its pretty much Gauntlet....and I plain suck at Gauntlet anyway.

This game does bring me a lot of nostalgia but not so much love nowadays I am sorry to say.

Code Masters try their hand at a Gauntlet clone. It's not too bad if you like that sort of thing.

This is Gauntlet and I'm no fan of Gauntlet. However, not only is this Gauntlet but it's a lame attempt of a Gauntlet clone. David Whittaker's in-game music is excellent but it doesn't save this game at all. With the exception of handful few, Codemasters games were beginning to suck at this point, maybe they were beginning to care less.

It's Gauntlet all right, in different clothings and settings, but Gauntlet nonetheless. It's very playable, looks nice and has a few great tunes, but I don't know, the Ninja theme doesn't excite me so much as the fantasy element from the original game. But in the end it's a nice clone, fans will love it.
