Gauntlet: The Third Encounter is an arcade-style action game by Atari, that was released on the short-lived Atari Lynx handheld in 1990. A year later U.S. Gold and Tengen would release another completely different game called Gauntlet III: The Final Quest. It introduced new character classes like “Nerd” or “Punkrocker” and was one of a few games that used the “vertical mode” of the Atari Lynx, another being the port of Klax. The story: A crystal falls from the sky and lands in a castle and it must be retrieved from within its 40 mazes type area.[1]
