About the game

The Gauntlet is a video game released in 1982 for ZX81. VG90 lists it as a reference record so the title stays discoverable alongside the thousands of other releases that defined the early cartridge-and-arcade boom.

By 1982 the landscape around releases like this was set — the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. Reading The Gauntlet against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the early cartridge-and-arcade boom produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.

Technical notes

Platform on record: ZX81. Release year: 1982. Details are drawn from public catalogue metadata; corrections and additions are welcome through the archive.
