    Default Favorite Classic Gauntlet Hero

    Many of us old school gamers have a favorite character from this classic multiplayer game. Mine would be the Elf (aka Questor). Sorry, this a poll for the characters of the first arcade game only. :P

    Valkyrie. Dunno why. Then again I almost always play "the chick".

    Although I played the Lynx version the other day and was amazed and happy that it had a PIRATE class! Any of the newer ones have pirates in them?

    The warrior. Because he always needs food.

    Yea, I liked the Valkyrie too. She was nicely balanced.

    I also liked some of the Lynx characters. Just like the previous Rampage poll . I loved watching the Nerd throw those textbooks.

    The Elf -- that way I can outrun Warrior when we find food.

    Valkyrie all the way. Good speed and power, plus decent magic makes here my hero of choice.

    Well, I'll go with...oh hell, they're all pretty awesome. I'll probably choose the Valkyrie though :)

    I'm a big fan of the elf. He is lightning fast and the arrows are deadly. On the NES version he is the only one that I ever use. Though, the valkyrie is awesome as well. I used to be a big warrior fan until I realized just how slow he is :/

    Warrior, but lately Im more partial to the Elf, he's quick and can escape out of danger asap
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    I've always used the wizard. No reason really,I just think wizards look cool.

    Well....I played the other Gauntlets before I bought the NES game....so I just naturally gravitated towards the 8-bit version of my Red Warrior.

    I see that I've been mistaken. I'm gonna try that Elf!!

    Definitely the Valkyrie. The warrior is WAY too slow, the elf's arrows are too weak and the wizard is weak in general because of his high magic. Valkyrie is the only person I don't get killed with after a few levels.

    A three way tie between the warrior, valkyrie, and elf so far. I wonder why no one appreciates the wizard as much. He has the most power when he uses the magic potion.

    I've always used the warrior. I think his physical power makes up for his relative lack of speed and low magical abilities.

    As a kid, I always played as the warrior or the elf. As I grew older I came to appreciate the valkyrie's awesome balance of power and speed.

    Hmm...this makes me want to play Gauntlet again!
