I remember playing side on view game as a knight with armor and three levels of sword attack/defense. legs/body/head. Armor is knocked off in each area after one hit. Two hits to same area wins. If i remember correctly the third opponent was female and she was not wearing much under her armor. Originally I thought this game was called gauntlet but i cannot be sure and my searches come up with the popular gauntlet which I enjoyed but is more modern i think. Any ideas? 🙂

There was a great ‘cheat’ where you could jump up on the castle wall on the third (?) level I think and avoid all those red blobs that came at you at the start of a round. Great game anyway.
