Warzone got you gassed?
Fortnite building your frustration?
Destiny not being what you planned?
Don't you wish you could go back?
When it was you and three friends.
Four controllers on one television.
Countless hours playing together again.
In the new age we live in,
Everything is online,
Which isn't a bad thing,
It's just a disconnecting thing.
From the way it used to be,
The gatherings of technology,
The long hours of gaming,
The glorious end of party feasting.
Those were the good days,
The days I will always cherish,
The ones that make me proud,
The ones I will tell my children about.
But when did it all start?
What caused this infatuation?
It was a simple truth in all reality,
My mom bought a Nintendo for the family.
That's when it took hold,
The thrill of being bold,
The adventures to still unfold,
The stories of ones we controlled.
But above all the rest,
One stood out to be the best,
A game that was multiplayer dressed,
One that I never got a chance to lay to rest.
Gauntlet legends was its name,
A game like any other that's been made,
You could play it solo if you desired to,
But with friends you can fight it through.
My father introduced us to it,
My brother and I took quick to it,
Countless nights spent questing together,
The three of us on a continuous adventure.
Then one day it all came to an ending,
Never once looking for a new beginning,
I can't put my finger on the reason it stopped,
But somewhere along the way we let it drop.
Now we are older and grown,
But we lost one of our own,
It wouldn't be the same without him,
We couldn't take on that old mountain.
I hope that one day it will come back around,
That I can share it with children of my own,
Their heads can fill with adventures abound,
They can grow imagination on safe ground.
Only time will tell if it will be remade,
The creators have long since faded away,
But the people's voice can bring it back to life,
Once more we can share what it was like.
Take me back to the old days,
Take me back to the games we used to play,
Take me back to Nintendo and being young,
Take me back to Gauntlet Legends and the fun.
Please, I will officially beg that the holders of the rights of Gauntlet Legends from Midway studios begin remaking the game as an EXACT recreate of the original Nintendo 64 version for cross play across all major gaming platforms. It has been far too long since it has seen the light of day and the world needs something that isn't stressful, something we can all play, something that is relaxing and enjoyable at the end of the day. Please spread this far and wide across Facebook, Twitter, tumblr,reddit, and everywhere else possible. Do it not only for the future generations, but for those of us who don't have the ones we started playing with. Those that lost our Green Archer and don't get to see our Blue Wizard anymore, do it for the memories, please I'm begging you.
