The sound is also well above average with the squeals of defeated rats, the bellows of kamikaze ogres and the disturbing mumblings of those buried alive in the Mausoleum. I'd still love to meet Douglas Lawrence, the man who provides the ridiculously macho voice-overs. I swear this man must be an actual wizard or something. All the sound effects are spot-on. Treasure chests open with a creak.
Explosions are thick and convincing.
I'm also a big fan of the background fantasy music. It glides seamlessly in the background without overwhelming the wealth of ambient noise. The game is deep enough that you will not complete this over a weekend unless you have absolutely nothing else to do. Gauntlet is perfect for completing an hour or so at a time. Dark Legacy adds worlds not previously available in the Dreamcast version, including Sky and Dream, while including everything else from Forest, Desert, Mountain, etc.
