About the game
Gauntlet: The Third Encounter (1990) for Lynx takes its place in the VG90 index as one more thread in the story of the 16-bit golden age, kept here for readers researching the period.
the 16-bit golden age was a period of rapid change for the medium: bigger sprites, richer sound and fierce console rivalries pushed 2D craft to its peak. Placing Gauntlet: The Third Encounter in that timeline shows where it sat as the industry evolved.

Why it matters
The value of a record like this is context: the 16-bit golden age produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and bigger sprites, richer sound and fierce console rivalries pushed 2D craft to its peak. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
