Oh no, not again! Not
another Gauntlet clone! l can't
take it anymore! Arrrrgghh!
Take my advice and don't you
take it either. Dawnssley tries to
be a straight copy of the big G,
but fails on every count. The
underground levels, the elf, the
warrior, the keys, the monsters,
the boredom are all here in this
cheapie. Unfortunately, so too
are a catalogue of bad programming techniques. There's
a horrible jangly noise when
playing that can't be turned off,
jerky scrolling, mysteriously
vanishing character squares
(including your chap at times!),
no quit keys so you have to
wait ages to be killed before
starting again, no joystick
option. Add to this no loading
screen or title music, and all
but impossible gameplay, and
you have a poor package.
Even at £1.99 it's not worth the
dosh, Tosh. Never mind
Dawnssley, call it Yawnssley
and you're on the right track!
