Matt Chat 19: Gauntlet

Here it is guys, the long-awaited 19th episode of Matt Chat featuring "Gauntlet" from Atari games. I learned a lot about the game in preparing this video, particularly that it was basically a rip-off of an earlier Atari 8-bit game called "Dandy," which had an almost identical setup.

Apparently Dandy's author was about to sue, but Atari appeased him by giving him a Gauntlet arcade cabinet (ah, those were the good old days!). Anyway, Gauntlet is still one of the best 4-player arcade and "party" games out there, so give it a watch and crank it up with your wife and/or children. Hint: A dual X-arcade is a great way to share gaming with your significant other; try it out and let me know if one game leads to another! :P

Whew! This one took me over 24 hours to film, edit, render, and publish!! Totally insane!! There is some big problems with my setup somewhere, even though Sony Vegas is supposed to be the most stable editing solution out there. Argh!
