Mumsnet collective - searching for retro game

[Skethylita]

Hi, I need your help, please. This is a game I used to play as a child, likely on floppy disk. It was an RPG and you could choose up to 6 characters, among others, a wizard, warrior, rogue, dwarf.

Every frame you moved would re-load into a scene, and whether you encountered enemies seemed random. They'd be strees in between houses, usually, and you could choose to enter most houses.

You could move in any direction, and you could enter bars or taverns (I think for healing?). Dead characters would show up as a skull, but still be in the user bar, which was at the bottom of the game. Each new frame let you choose where to go next or what to do in a fight.

Does anyone have any idea what the game was called? It would have been popular in the late 80s/ early 90s..

It was called Gauntlet and was one of my favourites. I was always Merlin, my brother played as Thor.

I still have gauntlet on Spectrum cassette . Great game .

I found it! It was called Spirit of Adventure! It's on Steam, but now the stupid app won't let me get past Captcha and has now logged me out completely 😩I need a bloody floppy disk driver again!

I'll have to look that one up. I thought at first you might have meant Knightmare.

Can you find an emulator for it so you can play on a PC?

That's why I have a Steam account. I just can't remember my password or get past the bloody Captcha challenge. Do I include the cyclist when it wants me to highlight bicycles? Or an eigth of a car mirror?

It's been a long time since I've last used Steam!
