***Gauntlet: The Deeper Dungeons*** is an expansion pack for the
original ports of Gauntlet with 512 new levels and required the original
program. It was released in 1987 by the British company U.S. Gold in the
UK and Europe, and Mindscape in the USA.
It was released for Amstrad CPC, MSX, Atari ST, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. It was developed by Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd.
Many of its levels were entries in a competition throughout Europe in
which only ten winners were awarded prizes, "A Gauntlet T-Shirt and a
copy of the program for their computers." The contest was announced
in the instructions of many of the ported games: "In early 1987,
U.S. Gold will release an expansion cassette for Gauntlet containing
hundreds of new levels and treasure rooms. You can have the chance to
have your own maze included on this tape!" The levels are presented
randomly and its artwork is the side panel artwork of the arcade cabinet
with only the main characters shown. The enemies were removed from the
image and replaced with a pink background.
Many reviewers noted that the levels were much harder than those in the
original game, although the consensus was that it was not quite as good
as the first game or the (then) newly released arcade sequel
