AceHart Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 ... ..Al Any idea when we can get the Gauntlet cart from the AA store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDS Games Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 We did a bit of rights checking and realized that there's an active trademark on Gauntlet that would likely be an issue. I'm not interested in giving Al any headaches in that respect, so while we're still putting together a full cartridge release for the store (including box & manual), it won't be a Gauntlet arcade conversion.

Arenafoot Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) I believe that's the plan to offer it in the store, yes, although Al would be the one to ask. I guess you figured out the potions....yeah, it's a bit of a pain unfortunately. But I'm not sure what else can be done without a special controller that not everyone will have. I have a CBS Booster Grip in my collection and was wondering if there would be a way to create a ROM version where the potion/magic could be changed from the double click of the fire button to the 2nd button of the Booster Grip? (to use on a Harmony cart) and/or Something similar to Spiceware's Stay Frosty 2 where it can be played with the standard joystick or the Sega Genesis gamepad (uses 2 of the 3 buttons). is this possible CDS?

I did an anagram of Gaunlet, and unfortunately, there's nothing that really sticks out as far as analternate title there. http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=Gauntlet&t=1000&a=n Did some synonyms. There's a couple in here that sound promising... http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/gauntlet?s=t Have some fun. I'm really looking forward to this.

(to use on a Harmony cart) I haven't had time to really dig into the code, but making a new ROM for a 2-button option would probably be fairly straightforward. It'd be tougher to make room for multiple read options on a single ROM. I will post an update if I get around to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally thinking of just renaming it "Mantlet", after the medieval siege armor. "Alliance" was another idea. But then I realized that the artwork would have to be totally replaced as well. Nuts. So I pulled an old idea off the shelf for an RPG based on "The Golden Legend" by Jacob de Voragine, which isn't known much anymore but was a bestseller in the Middle Ages and a huge inspiration for Western Art for centuries. If you've heard the legend of St. George and the Dragon, that's where it comes from. Anyway, using saints as the heroes allowed me to use stained glass images for the characters, and it all sorta fell into place from there. Here are a couple of screenshots. The hellmouths function like the generators in Gauntlet. Enemies will be demons, skeletons...you know, just your average run-of-the-mill army of the damned. Al will be debuting Golden Legends at Portland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hizzy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Does the name "Gauntlet" refer to an actual piece of armor or does it refer to the running of the gauntlet, as in the number of enemies and levels you encounter? If so, Onslaught would be a cool name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, Onslaught would be a cool name! Ed Logg mentioned in his talk that he thought the name worked well because "running of the Gauntlet" was pretty much what the game was all about. I'm guessing the armor also factored in though. Onslaught would be a nice name. For some reason though I tend to be a purist about the names of arcade translations, so I'd rather just leave this as Gauntlet and do a separate spinoff with different branding.

CDS Games Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Is Golden Legends based on the Gauntlet game? Yep. Same engine and gameplay. It's basically a graphics hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yep. Same engine and gameplay. It's basically a graphics hack. So the ROM on 12-31-15 is the same as the final one for the "soon to be released" Golden Legends" except for the graphic changes? Is there any way to get the "Gauntlet 2600" cart and label made (into the AA store)? Or is there a copyright infringement on it? Or I'm guessing a one-off cart could be made by Al??

DracIsBack Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Cauntlet The a is silent. Wouldn't be the first time something like this has been done!

CDS Games Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Gauntlet can't be made commercially available through the store because of the active trademark. But I will update the cart label with a higher-res version for those who want to assemble one-off carts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I've only seen it as a 'coming soon' item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay has been changing the controls on ROMs to other buttons for the AFP, and I figured I'd ask. I keep using the potion as I get it by accident each time.
