(lemmy.world) submitted 2 months ago by Guitar@lemmy.world to c/retrogaming@lemmy.world 54 comments fedilink hide all child comments I've been playing a lot of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy lately and it seems like it has a number of improvements over the arcade release. I'm curious what other ports people find particularly good.
