Go To

  • Franchise Killer: Seven Sorrows, which was released as an Obvious Beta with all of the touted new features conspicuously missing, as well as most series staples from previous games, such as Bomb Potions and all power-ups.
  • He Also Did: Gauntlet IV is the very first work of M2, a team known nowadays for their high-quality ports of SEGA games and Shoot 'Em Ups.
  • Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition: The Nintendo 64 version of Gauntlet Legends came with a Warrior miniature.
  • Screwed by the Lawyers: All home ports of the game remove references to original developer Atari Games, due to Warner Bros. not wanting to pay royalties for use of the Atari name.
  • What Could Have Been: Seven Sorrows had a very prestigious team at first, with the likes of John Romero and Josh Sawyer attached to it, and was aimed as an extremely ambitious franchise resurrection. Sadly, the original devs left and the project collapsed into abject mediocrity. Because of all the flaws that were in Seven Sorrows, most fans ignore it completely and instead believe that the franchise went out in a blaze of glory with Dark Legacy.
