In the case of "Gauntlet" (1985) there seems to be little disagreement that it is a classic. It has a 7.5/10 score on Moby Games and it's a source of inspiration for many later games.

But... I find it boring, and oddly unsettling. Perhaps it's the lack of music, or the creepy synthesized speech announcements (that pause the game), or something else that I can't quite put my finger on, but I don't like it. 😕

Maybe I'm missing something and need some enlightenment?
