Gauntlet Legends is an arcade game released in 1998 by Atari Games. It is a fantasy themed hack and slash styled dungeon crawl game, a sequel to 1985's popular Gauntlet and 1986's Gauntlet II and marks the final game in the series to be produced by Atari Games.

Test Map

Present in the game is an unused test map. To access it, add the following code to gauntleg.xml:

  <cheat desc="Test Map">
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.pq@8014D050=0000000074736574</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

Enable the code at startup and choose the Mountain stage to appear in the test map. The test map contains a few enemy generators along with every collectible in the game. The camera doesn't behave properly, so most of the time your character will be off-screen.

Debug Menu

Present in the service menu is an inaccessible debug menu. To access it, add the following code to gauntleg.xml:

  <cheat desc="Enable Debug Options">
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.pb@80141E98=00</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

Enable the code at startup then access the service menu. Select the invisible option in between STATISTICS and GAME OPTIONS and you'll be in the debug menu. Unfortunately, none of the settings appear to do anything.
