What is that game called?

Tower of Druaga, perhaps?

Or even more likely: Magic Sword? My bet is on this one.

OMFG That might be it! I’ll have to play it to be sure. Also, I still think it was 4-player, but really it’s all just a blur.

Was one of the players a valkerie? If so, I used to play that with three friends at a pizza parlor in Campbell, CA…but I think that was 1987 and I wouldn’t call the graphics “sweet.” So we’re probably not talking about the same thing. But it makes me wonder what that games was called….nevermind.

You’re probably thinking of Gauntlet. The graphics were sweet in the SNES era.

Yes. Gauntlet. I love you for saving me from thinking about that all night long.

It’s Magic Sword. I was probably thinking it was 4-players because you have a little buddy following you. F YEAH

Gauntlet was top-down. I think you’re looking for Golden Axe, but that only has three players

What I can offer:

Gauntlet was four player, top-down… Gauntlet Legends was four player in 3D.

Golden Axe was side-scrolling, 2D for 3 Players.

Magic Sword – Heroic Fantasy was sidescrolling, 2D for 2 Players.

Dungeon Magic was isometric 2D for 2 Players.

Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara was Sidescrolling, 2D for 2 Players, however…

Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom was for Four Players… and is likely the game you were thinking of.

Also, for MAME games… I’ve got a neat membership over at Emuasylum. I could nab whatever you like and Rapidshare it or something.

NOTE: If it’s also similar to your tastes, I’d recommend Knights of the Round. Badass game, but I believe it was for 2 players

Golden Axe was AWESOME.
