This is one of those cases where the Master System port easily knocks out the NES one. The music, sound effects, graphics, and everything about this is just better all around. The characters and enemies move a lot smoother as well, so it doesn't look extremely choppy, like the Nintendo games do. This one is pretty addicting, and easily the out of all the 8 bit versions of Gauntlet 1 and 2. Still, they get much better later. This is more so just mindless addicting fun.
