Game Details
Gauntlet II is the second in Atari's Gauntlet series, followed in the arcades by 1998's Gauntlet Legends. Gameplay is exactly as it was in the original, with some new twists, including:
- the ability to choose any character to play
- new harder-to-kill monsters and smarter old ones
- invisible, moving, and secret walls
- new magic items such as repulsiveness and super shots
- mazes that change orientation
- new floor tiles such as force fields and fake exits
- a secret room with event-generated hints to get into it
- more advanced play techniques
Gauntlet II did not have as successful a run in arcades as its predecessor, but it fared better than most Gauntlet clones (such as Data East's Shackled and Sega's Alien Syndrome, among others). It was far more successful in 16-bit home computer translations than even Gauntlet was, thanks to software publishers US Gold in Europe and Mindscape in North America.
Designed by Ed Logg, now working under contract for Atari Games porting recent titles to Nintendo64.
