Gauntlet-Style DOS Dungeon Games

This collection brings together older dungeon-action games with monsters, keys and routes to uncover. It covers DOS alternatives rather than a playable edition of Gauntlet itself. Compare the spells, equipment and character choices below; each entry explains its own controls and starting setup.

A few places to start

  • Catacomb

    Explore ten levels as a magician, breaking some walls with spells. This is the original two-dimensional Gamer's Edge sampler game, not Catacomb 3-D.

  • Firefall

    Find colored potions, matching keys and a flashing skull exit. On a fresh start, close the hardware-settings screen with Done before choosing Play.

  • The Black Orb

    Choose a character with different health, attack and movement values. Gather keys and keep amulets for groups of nearby monsters.
