RE: level 100 being the winning design from a competition.

I would like to see a source for this claim. I just played Gauntlet II (the PS3 port - which is supposedly direct from the arcade version) to level 102.

I can assure you that if Level 100 was the winning design from a competition, there mustn't have been many entries. It was a very boring level - quite plain, without a dragon, many monsters, or anything interesting. It was certainly no prizewinner. I've looked on the net, and the only reference I can see to this supposed competition are other websites that appear to be quoting the wikipedia entry.

Further, I can't see logistically how such a competition would work. This was the days before the internet - the only feasible way to collect the entries would have been on graph paper, with the walls/monster generators etc marked out by hand. That just doesn't seem likely. Especially considering that level 100 isn't the final level.

Seperate bugs section

[edit]

The Ports section sort of bleeds into talking about bugs, and it isn't clear if they're bugs that exist only in the ports! Can someone with more knowledge on the subject split the sections? Srkingdavy (talk) 02:22, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The whole section reads like a blog post. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.94.90.143 (talk) 00:02, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Someone had commented out the entire bug section, but it has no sources anyway, portions of it have been challenged, and it does sound kind of bloggish so I've moved it here into talk for the time being. I think that makes a lot more sense than leaving it as a giant in-article block of non-displayed text. If anyone wants to re-add portions of it at a later time then please feel free, but remember that it needs sourcing. -Thibbs (talk) 11:59, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
