Gauntlet and I have a bit of history together.As a mere nipper, I'd heard of Ed Logg's classic arcade dungeon hacker, but I'd never seen it in it's natural habitat. So, you know, like many, I dabbled in the odd home version. But I'll be honest - it just didn't make sense. Playing it alone, it just seemed the most abusively unfair game you could choose to play - as your health constantly fell, you'd find yourself continuously surrounded by enemies you'd never manage to vanquish, spawning endlessly from generators you'd never reach - heading towards.

Towards what?Towards Blackpool, the late eighties. Like any other child of the time, the usual holiday was a trip down to a dismal beach resort that, nonetheless, I'd look forward to with a feverish anticipation - because I knew as soon as I got there, they'd give me a cup full of 10p pieces and set me loose in the amusements. And one day, wandering one of the many arcades that lined Blackpool's seaside strip, my cash reserves dwindling, I finally found a live Gauntlet machine. 10 pence a go.There was a teenager already playing it, faded rock t-shirt and torn leather jacket, a spotty giant, impossibly older and wiser than I. But someone who wouldn't mind me playing, I hoped.

To do unlimited lifes first u need to have two players one is 1P one is 2P.Then either 1P or 2P press start and select.leaves Games.Then at outside of the playing screen select join,load ur.

I slipped my first 10p into the machine.Watching, barely keeping up with this wizard in the game and at the controls, it all started to make sense. The player is running the gauntlet. It's a race against time, it's a race for survival, and the player must cut your swathe through the enemies to the exit as quickly, as efficiently, as possible. And it was fantastic. Due to the frantic but laggy nature of the game, it's likely you won't hear 'WIZARD NEEDS FOOD BADLY' until long after you've died.Until, in one of the most maze-like, twisting levels, I found myself stuck on one side of a wall, and him on another. You see, Gauntlet, had to constrain the players by keeping them together on the same screen. If one got stuck, or left behind, the others couldn't forge ahead.

You had to work together. Betrayal at krondor remake. One for all, and all for one.Unless you're a teenager who, until this point, has been riding a machine on 10p all day, and it strikes you that screaming at an 9 year old to move to the LEFT, NO, WAIT, THE RIGHT, UP, NO, ARE YOU STUPID, is the way to go about things.I don't think I've played Gauntlet since.Upon playing Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows alone for any length of time, it's not unlikely that you'll come to the same conclusions I did of the original Gauntlet - it's boring, and, if you're playing it on anything other than easy, it's hard. With the traditional choice of Warrior, Elf, Valkyrie and Wizard, if you're determined to play your way through the game solo you'll either have to pick the Warrior or be prepared to die repeatedly. Indeed, the Wizard is completely ineffectual on his own, as he relies on his projectile attack, a cute if less than useful nod to the original game's attacks, and his mana blasts, attacks shared by the others, who back them up with a far beefier range of hacks and slashes.

Like many posts I bought and downloaded Gauntlet Seven Sorrows for the XBox 360 S and found it didn't work. To date there is no fix that has worked to get the game to operate.All prior posts attempted fixes and some new information form Support have been tried on my end.

So, if you try to download this game you may run into a problem where it downloads and once you go to play it, you get the message that it won't play and totry and download it again.The usual fixes attempted are to delete the game, clear the cache 4 times, check and remove corrupted files, remove your account and then shutdown and unplug the system for 2 minutes. After that is done start the system, add your account, go to downloadhistory and download it again. Once completely downloaded you should having a working game. In my case,no!Actually I have done a lot of online searching and it seems to be a big problem with this game. Unfortunately Microsoft can't refund your money if it has been more that thirty (30) days since purchase so you are at the mercy of waiting to see if the developerknows anything.

That likely will not occur anytime soon.Last, make sure you have a hard drive in your XBox 360 if it didn't come with one. The S doesn't. And the game won't work at all if you don't have one.So be careful and let me know if anyone found a real fix for this game.

Checked the HD. It is not MS but said it was compatible. Went back to their original Amazon order and it confirmed that it was MS compatible and all the reviews said it worked.With all that said I suppose that because it is not an 'MS' HD then that could be the problem. It may be then that there is truly no fix unless we get the MS HD. In this case I'll let the kids forfeit palying the game a chalk it up to a good $10.79 learningexperience. Sad MS won't allow some kind of download of the firmware to make it work.:-(.
