Atari Lynx Gauntlet: The Third Encounter
Want to hear something funny? I've been told this game doesn't exist!
Some people are of the opinion that Guantlet was never released, and
exists only as screenshots on the back of Lynx boxes. I've seen it
advertised for sale for years, though, so naturally I don't believe
it.
Gauntlet is one of the few Lynx games designed to be played with
the longer axis of the Lynx held vertically. Another is Klax.
Solving the plant problem in the last level (Level 40):
- Take the first plant in the second group of plants.
It will spit you out of another plant.
- Escape from this plant and take the top plant of the four.
This will spit you out between two more plants.
- Take the left-most plant and get the Star Gem!
Immediately give it to Noj and all the robots turn to gold.
To Select Levels
- Choose your character.
- Start the game, but DO NOT move your character.
- Press the OPTION 1 button, this will take you to Level 5.
- Repeat this to go to Levels 10, 15, and 20.
