6 Arcade Games You Can’t Escape From (and Don’t Want to)

Gauntlet

RPGs are everywhere today, but Gauntlet was the first to bring the fun nerdy ecstasy of Dungeons and Dragons-style dungeon crawling to the arcade. This top-down rpg allows up-to 4 friends to brave hundreds of levels of skeleton-infested mazes in search of gold and danger. Classic in-game commentary like: “Red Warrior needs food badly!” and “Your life force is running out!” can still be found in modern RPG's paying homage to this pioneering title. Where can the Red Warrior find more food? Gauntlet II (1986) Gauntlet Legends (1998) Gauntlet Dark Legacy (2000)
