Double dealing in deadly quest Somewhere towards the end of last year. I walked into one of the nearby arcades and was struck dumb by a machine called Gauntlet. Great hi-res graphics, great sound - but most of all. the fact that it was four player The scenario has up to lour characters (each with different characterisation) in a true D&D type dungeon adventure - each player competing against each other in a battle for points and experience, but needing to cooperate to survive Grat stuff, but I thought it would be quite some time before anything even vaguely similar would be finding its way onto home computers. Enter Storm. Storm is a £1.99 game from Mastertromc. Storm is the nearest thing to Gauntlet available outside an arcade yet. The quest has Prince Storm plus a wizardly sidekick scything their way through the lair of the evil Una, lo rescue the obligatory damsel in distress With control of both characters via keyboard (there is an optional one-player game) this will be a test of the hardware But, delightfully, it's not all mindless violence, with keys to be collected, puzzles to solve in the classic role-playing tradition. I've minor reservations about the length of time this one would hold you. but the combination of price and true two player-bility make this an outstanding program.
