Gauntlet 1 Atari ST instructions/controls for player selection?

Need a bit of help, I do have this but it is in storage with all my retro gear while I am moving house but fancied a quick blast on STeem with this.

 

I can't get the player selection keys detailed on the title page to do bugger all except [insert] key which conjures up the warrior player with joystick 1 (default start option when you load the game).

 

The title screen says cursor controls and F1-F2 and F9-F10 to select character but they don't do anything and "joystick 1" stays firmly under the warrior character. The only key that doesn't do nothing is the insert key but I can't get a second player into the game at all or change the start character.

 

Help please :)

SETTING FORTH:
--------------
When the game has loaded to the Gauntlet title screen press any key to
leave it.
On the game screen you may select the hero you want to control by using the
cursor up/down keys. Press the INSERT or the ENTER key on the numerical
keypad to invoke your hero. You may also just press INSERT or ENTER to
play the default hero, the Warrior.
If you want to play a two player game use cursor keys up/down again and
press INSERT/ENTER when you're satisfied with your choice. This can be done
at any time in the game.
Please note that you MUST have a joystick plugged into the mouse port for
the two players game to work.

Thanks for the link/write up :)#

 

I am using it with STeem emulator (SSE 3.0 I think) so having two joystick settings active should simulate two joysticks plugged in right?

 

Any way I can't even change from the warrior character using cursor keys, only key that does anything is [iNSERT]

 

Maybe I should try older versions of TOS ROMs in STeem

Holy hell you made me download the Guantlet 1 image and figure it out for myself, and you are correct! It's a pain in the ass.

  1. OK, Start up the game.
  2. Make sure your Scroll Lock light on your keyboard is >OFF<
  3. Use Arrow keys to select character (Up/Down) and Joystick 0/1 (Left/Right)
  4. Press Insert
  5. NOW press scroll lock to enable joystick mode for your keyboard.
  6. Play game.

If you want to choose another character, turn OFF scroll lock again, use keyboard arrows to select other character, press Insert then turn on scroll lock again.

 

Or download Gauntlet 2.
