# he has all of the things
that would make any self-respecting bully want to nick his lunch money.
Heck, even I want to punch him now and I'll be 44 this year ;)

# Worse.
it looks like a lab coat from the science department.

edit:// or even worse. A stagehand's coat from the Drama department!

# lab coats the collars on lab coats are typically different...
Drama department nerd? I think we need introduce his pathetic excuse for jewels to a nice leather boot.

My lab coat had metal in it. It was like owning an official tin foil hat.

The others are Wizard, Elf and Barbarian in whatever order you wish ;)

# No
She was the Valkyrie. The "barbarian" was the Warrior.
At least in the arcade version, anyway.

# You must have played computer games
of some type or other just imagine your favourite games character(s) in a real-life situation which would contradict the murder/death/cull/kill you are allowed to get away with in computer games.

# i've never played a computer game
the only ones i ever played cost 10p a go, bloody great machines you could balance a cup of tea and a fag on top of back in the early 80's, i was crap at them then and have steered well clear since. don't suppose windows free cell counts.

# Yup I remember those too
The original Space Invaders, Q-bert, Commando, the one with the roller ball thing to stop the bombs dropping on the city (its actually name), Tank Command, Asteroids - loved them all.

# asteroids rings a bell
and i played space invaders, i saw sonic the hedgehog once at a friends house many, many years ago and witnessed my first wii game of bowls about a fortnight ago, needless to say on neither occasion did i participate, they hold no appeal at all, i just don't get it.

# Escapism really
it does waste of a lot of time especially if you have a busy life so I can fully understand why you might have by-passed computer games in your life.

# busy no
but i find plenty of other distractions, mostly without annoying soundtracks.

# WIZARD IS ABOUT TO DIE!
I once played that all the way to the 1000th level (on MAME) to see what would happen, as it only has room for 3 digits.
It just went back to (I think) level 8, which is the first non-training level. Bah.

# Yep Googled for Hampton Court Maze
it's the only one I've heard of, I know there are more but I anticipated more search results from this and found this weird image which suited my idea very well.

# Memories!
Hoya!

Back in 1987-88, I had an ultra groovy CPC 464 and so did some friends of mine. One week-end, I ended up at a friend's for two days of great fun. We played Gauntlet II.

Remember the big dragon on the bow, right? We wanted to kick his mighty arse badly.

We started to play before dinner. When dinner arrived, we paused the game, ate (my friend being a proficient eater, the wait was unbearable!) then want back to playing.

Cue the 99 levels of the game. We thought, ace! This is the ultimate level, we're going to fight to big lizard and thus separate boys from men.
The computer being a CPC it asked us to rewind the tape to 000.
"Weird", thought we. After all, does it make sense to put the final boss at the very beginning of the tape (or so, because the game, after loading, asked to zero in the tape counter, if I remember correctly). Nevertheless, we complied.

Then the FINAL LEVEL started!

Wot??? Where is the dragon? Maybe he is too afraid to face us? OK, let's play another couple of levels just to be sure...

Fucksocks!!! After plaing, like, ten levels, we had to admit it. There was NO 100th level, NO blooody dragon to fight and NO princess to gang-bang! It was a lie!
We were so disgusted that we resetted the machine, played another game and hardly played Gauntled II after...

Years later, thanks to MAME, I discovered that the arcade version generates RANDOM mazes ad lib... The CPC not being powerful enough had to restart from the beginning... ;-)

Those were the times!
