I think Gauntlet for NES has 100 Rooms. I think I have read it somewhere, but not sure anymore. :)
And don't know if this is the same as the Arcade Version. :?

I was on level 40 and I came to post this letter and when I went back I accidentaly hit the escape key on the keyboard hooked up to my mame cabinet (instead of the P for pause). . I could of hit any other key and been Ok but the escape key shuts down the game.

An Hour and a half and 1,2000,000+ points down the tubes. :x :x :x :sad: :sad: :sad: :|

I stayed up all night and made it past level 250 and gave up(on my computer). I watched it being at a local arcade when it first came out and the group was past level 100.

Probably 255 levels (8 bit adress space). Like pacman. But there are about two ways to test that theory:

1) play the game up until that level and finish it
2) de-assemble the roms and figure it out.

And personally i think that 2) is going to take a lot more time than 1), but i might be mistaken.

Google is your friend. A quick search revealed this page which has several Gauntlet FAQs. Here is a quote from the Gauntlet I FAQ:

Q:  Does Gauntlet I have an ending?
A:  No.  I have played Gauntlet I to level 999 and beyond.  After level 999,  
the next level is level 8 (it wraps around).

They're not all unique levels, though. Aren't there something like 15 levels after the first 6 that just keep repeating?

Seems to me I played the game to like LVL60+ and dont recall repeating levels. I might have been playing Gauntlet 2 tho. Hmmmm You can save a game in MAME cant you? I've always wanted to play through Gauntlet
