Gauntlet: The Third Encounter is an arcade-style action game by Atari, that was released on the short-lived Atari Lynx handheld in 1990. The game can be played by one to four players simultaneously. 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.
A year later U.S. Gold and Tengen would release another completely different game called Gauntlet III: The Final Quest.

Famous quotes containing the word encounter:
“A bad end, a sad end, was the last end of Mieze. And why, why, why? What crime had she committed? She came from Bernau into the whirl of Berlin, she was not an innocent girl, certainly not, but her love for him was pure and steadfast; he was her man and she took care of him like a child. She was struck down because she happened by chance to encounter this man; such is life, it’s really inconceivable.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
