Ok, I've been trying to figure this out for a few weeks. Do any of you recall an arcade game from at least pre-1998 which was a sidescrolling 4 player console that was hack/slash dnd style. You had a choice of 4 different characters to choose from: one was a wizard, another archer, some sword/ axe guy and another I can't recall. It sounds exactly like gaunltet, but this was a sidescroller and not a top-down version. It also had a feature where you would get to the end of the level and you would kill the big boss (Generally some sort of dragon) and you'd get a treasure chest with a better weapon in it. Let me know if you know what I'm talking about.
