I beg to disagree. Gauntlet, in general, is a vastly overrated game which is
basically the old 'Zombies' game (you know, nasties that home in on you by
simple X-your X, Y-your Y algorithm) with a bit of shooting and magic potions
thrown in.
   Gauntlet on the Atari ST was a DISASTER. The sound effects were so poorly
digitised that you couldn't tell and the SCROLLING...well, no comment.
Although I think Gauntlet is a complete and utter waste of time, try Garrison
or Garrison II on the Amiga to see what a PROPER conversion should look like
(and even Garrison is extremely boring - not even the Amiga can enliven what
was a dud game concept to start with).
