   Some time ago, I noted that the old APX (Atari Program Exchange, long
defunct) game DANDY seemed to be the inspiration for Gauntlet, and also
noted that I thought it was available via ANTIC magazine.  Turns out
I was more-or-less right on both counts.
   Atari Games acknowledges a debt to DANDY in their development of 
Gauntlet, but claims theirs was an independent idea that just happened
to end up looking similar.
   DANDY is, indeed, still available through ANTIC magazine, for the
incredible bargain price of $12.95!!  GET THIS GAME!
