WARNING.

Prevent shock hazard and assure proper game operation. Plug this game into a properly grounded outlet. Do not use a cheater plug to defeat the power cord's grounding pin. Do not cut off the ground pin.

CAUTION.

A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause epileptic seizures or momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are present in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. People who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g. seizures or loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before using any video games.

We recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child experience the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your physician.

CAUTION.

Chapter 3 System

S TA R T I N G U P

Each time the game is first turned on or power is restored, it begins executing code out of the boot ROM.

These self-diagnostic tests automatically verify and report condition of the hardware and the disk drive.

The screen is blank during these tests. If any of the individual tests fails, then an error message will be displayed for each test. The message will be displayed for 30 seconds or until any button is pressed.

• If no buttons are pressed, the system will quickly complete all tests then load and run the game.

• Press and hold the TEST button inside the coin door to skip the boot ROM tests and activate the Menu System.

Once all Power-up tests have been passed, the game goes into Attract Mode. Scenes and sounds from a typical game are alternated with previous high scores in an endless pattern until game play starts.

Insert currency to start game. Play begins after a mission is chosen. The game progresses until time runs out. If no more play is required, the game automatically returns to the "attract mode".

G A M E R U L E S

Play instructions are on information panel between speakers. Up to four players at a time can explore a world, facing hordes of monsters, searching for treasure, avoiding traps, finding and using magic, and adventuring their way to the exits.

Players choose from eight characters (and, later, eight alternate characters) to face the hordes of monsters that have overrun the land of Gauntlet. With more than 100 unique monsters and 10 intimidating boss characters, players have their hands full, defeating each of the eight world bosses and collecting keys before meeting the demon Skorne. Following Skorne’s defeat, players must defeat him yet again in an underworld level, after which they face the evil overlord Garm. Numerous power-up enhancements are scattered throughout the land to help players get to the finish.

Players can save their character with player IDs. One password saves all eight different characters. During game variable selection, players simply enter their initials and their own 3-letter player ID that they choose. The characters, with their experience levels and current ratings for strength, speed, toughness, and magic are automatically saved along with any Rune Stones players find.

To access the alternate characters, players first build characters to level 10. Depending upon which character they have played, they then can choose to play as the Minotaur (Warrior), Falconess (Valkyrie),

Jackal (Wizard), Tigress (Archer), Hyena (Jester), Ogre (Dwarf), Medussa (Sorceress), and Unicorn

(Knight).

To defeat Garm, players must find all 13 Rune Stones and defeat Skorne twice. Three Stones are hidden in each world. Upon finding a Stone, a character is saved permanently with a password.

There are over 35 unique special weapons found throughout the game that will help players in their quest.

These power-ups are found in chests and barrels, in nooks and crannies, and even in plain view and can be bought with gold in the Shop.

VOLUME ADJUSTMENT MENU SCREEN

Use the Player 1 START button to choose Game or Attract volume adjustment. When the selected variable flashes, use the joystick to change the level.

Game volume adjusts from zero to maximum. The game seems more realistic if players experience loud sounds during play. These weapons do not have silencers.

Attract volume is continuously adjustable from Mute (zero) to maximum. For greater profits, make

Attract Mode loud to draw attention to Gauntlet: Dark Legacy.

You adjust Attract and Game volume levels independently, but Attract cannot be louder than Game volume. If you try this, Attract level automatically lowers proportionately. Lowering Attract level does not affect Game setting.

Volume level is represented a bar made of dots. The longer the bar, the higher the volume.

Press the Player 2 START button after making volume adjustments. The Player 1 START button cancels your recent changes and returns both levels to what they were before you touched them.

NOTE: These adjustments affect both the volume of the tests and game play. If the volume levels are set to minimum (zero), there will be no sounds from the speakers during any of the audio tests. Set the volume levels to a moderately high value when checking the game audio components and speakers. Return the levels to their previous settings after completing the tests.

STATISTICS REPORT MENU SCREEN

The illustration shows how the report screen looks after the game is reset or is first turned on. Most statistics increase in value as the game is played. It is normal for some values to remain at zero: for example, the

Aux Coins count will not change unless an additional Currency Acceptor has been installed in the game, and the Error Count will not change if no errors have occurred.

Low counts in both coin and player statistics may suggest the game is too difficult for the skill levels of the players at this location; high continue counts may indicate the game is too easy. Difficulty level and other play characteristics may be adjusted from the Game Options menu.

Record statistics before performing service or making repairs on the game.

Press Player 2 START or service credit button to view system errors, which tell you the status of the hardware. Press Player 2 START again, and you will see user messages. Press Player 2 START again and you will see histograms. Press Player 2 START again to see level histograms.

The CPU and Sound I/O Boards have several hardware variables that can be changed to adapt this assembly to other uses. Jumpers activate circuit paths, and DIP switches select instructions.

S w i t c h e s

There is one pushbutton switch on the CPU Board Assembly. It resets the CPU Board and restarts the game without turning off the power supply. There are two DIP switches on the Sound I/O Assembly at U12 and U13. See Wiring Chapter for further explanation.

J u m p e r s

Jumpers control signals to other components in this game. These signals match production audio amplifiers, speaker system, and video monitors.

Active circuit paths are factory optimized during the board test procedure. Leave jumpers in original positions to avoid program error messages.

E r r o r s

The system detects errors at startup or during diagnostic tests and reports them on screen. The system automatically repairs errors such as minor disk data faults. Fix other errors, such as player control calibration, by manually resetting values in game memory. Gauntlet: Dark Legacy generally continues to operate

(but with reduced performance) after discovering minor errors.

Record error messages before attempting to correct a problem. The USER MESSAGES report may store additional temporary messages (refer to STATISTICS earlier in this chapter).

After recording messages, turn off AC power, wait a few minutes, then turn AC power on. Pay attention to the startup screens and note any error messages during Power On Self Tests. If possible, enter the SELF

TEST MENU SYSTEM and run all tests related to where errors occurred. Record and compare any new messages to the previous ones to determine whether errors are random or chronic.

NOTICE. Do not ignore error messages even if you can start and operate the game. Poor performance caused by playing games with errors may reduce earnings.

LED1 monitors CPU power (+3.3 Volts). If this LED is off or blinking, investigate processor circuits. If other LEDs are off or blinking at the same time, check the +5 Volt circuits or game power supply.

LED2 flashes when hard disk operates during game play. It may light continuously during startup. If this LED lights continuously, there may be a fault with the hard disk drive, which may be locked up.

LED3 initially indicates program start-up stages. It is a seven-segment alphanumeric display device.

Under normal conditions, it displays a lowercase “b” or a sequentially blinking segment in an “O” pattern. During any of the self-test screens, it displays a “bouncing bar” resembling a hyphen (“-”).
