“This new digital version of Gauntlet innovates on past titles while staying true to the brand’s legendary four-player format,” said David Haddad, Executive Vice President, Publishing Operations, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Multiplayer gameplay is at the core of Gauntlet’s appeal and now gamers have the option to play with friends and family locally and online.”
Players select from four classic fantasy-based characters: Warrior, Wizard, Valkyrie, or Elf. Each character has its own distinctive play style and unique strengths and weaknesses. Upon selecting a playable character, the gameplay is set within dungeons where the object is to fight through the chambers slaying evil creatures and completing challenges. An assortment of special items can be located in each dungeon that can restore the player’s health, unlock doors, and shift the odds in the player’s favor with magical relics which can aid the player in surviving longer in the Gauntlet. The enemies are a vast assortment of fantasy-based monsters, including ghosts, grunts, demons, spiders, sorcerers and skeleton warriors.
Players can improve their heroes’ abilities and powers by unlocking achievements called “perks.” Multiple difficulty settings add to the game’s replayability.

I thought gold was shared, gathering it first only seems to influence the level end score totals.
It is shared. and your right, it only matters for the tallies at the end.

People are complaining that many standard PC game 16:10 resolutions are not supported. For example 1080p or 1920x1200. Mouse and keyboard is not re-bindable either. Can someone confirm?

My daughter and the twins would play this game for hours on end, all three of them at one keyboard. I think I still have the old 5 1/4 disk stuffed around somewhere with the DOS version on it.

Great, now let's get Golden Axe, Magic Sword and Gain Ground modernized and released.
Then you can add T-Mek(!) and the vector graphic Star Wars and everything old will be new again!
We already have most of the top pinball tables available ... we just need those cabinet games.
