Gauntlet Legends is a 1998 hack and slash video game developed and published by Atari Games for arcades. It is a sequel to 1985's Gauntlet and 1986's Gauntlet II, and the final game in the Gauntlet series to be produced by Atari Games. It has many unusual features for an arcade game, including passwords and characters that can be saved, enabling players to play over the course of a long period.
The game was later ported to the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, and Dreamcast. In 2000, it was followed by Gauntlet Dark Legacy, which featured new characters and levels.

What the critics said
In another GamePro review, Ash said, "Die-hard fans of Gauntlet will especially want to own this game, but it's also a great one for gamers who love the idea of intense multiplayer action. It doesn't get much better than wasting line after line of grunts with a group of friends."
— GamePro, 1999
Dan Elektro said in one GamePro review, "With all the hidden stuff and the reworked sections, Gauntlet Legends on the Dreamcast feels as fresh as a newly minted quarter."
— GamePro, 2000
In another GamePro review, The D-Pad Destroyer said, "If you like mindless action, gather some friends and play Gauntlet Legends for a day or two. As long as you're not looking for depth, you'll enjoy walking thigh-deep in bad guys and knocking over barrels in a desperate quest for food."
— GamePro, 2000
