Ever play Gauntlet IV on the Genesis? Actually a pretty cool game. It had two modes, one was classic Gauntlet with endless levels and another was more of an RPGish mode with four main labyrinths to go through with a dragon boss at the end of each one. Also was one of the very few four player games on the system.

Wizard or Elf because their projectile weapons made sense. I threw a fit, pissed myself, then ran home if anyone picked Warrior or Valkyrie because they ruined my immersion

playstation Gauntlet was so fun. Jester or minotaur best class

Not to mention a kickass soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakimoto (who later went on to score Quest games, Final Fantasy Tactics and so on). It was fucking awesome.

I've always had a soft spot for Legends and Dark Legacy -
Legends I played on both an actual arcade machine and the N64 console, Dark Legacy I played on PS2.
I still think that the "auto attack arc" thing was clever - Warrior could maul enemies at like 160 degrees in front of him, BUT enemies beyond your main arc you could hit with stronger "side melee" attacks, which made this version of the archer REALLY good at melee since you constantly got your attacks upgraded to side attacks due to your narrow arc (there was also "back melee" attacks but that was just impractable). The arcade version unfairly favored wizard because the magic stat had a second function of affecting power-up duration //
Arcade is WORTH the effort of throwing up MAME - game is very different with actual timed health, not carrying a giant stack of toggle-able powerups, and level design changes (mostly cutting down the infamous switch puzzles). Also arcade has an exclusive glitch that makes the power-ups interact with your turbo attacks - this includes the 3 way and 5 way shot.

Usually Elf, sometimes Wizard
I played both the arcade & Megadrive version a fair bit & will pop it in the "Revisiting Old Games" thread when I get round to it. I always loved the idea of gauntlet, but the bland as fuck maps were offputting, and I wanted more RPG aspects & less action ones too.
I love how boz-eyed the characters are on this pic though......
