Gauntlet II is a 1986 arcade game released by Atari Games and the first sequel to the game Gauntlet. The biggest difference from the original game is that players can choose identical classes, instead of being limited to a particular one for each joystick; each player is differentiated by color. In addition to the new "class" system, new level designs were added, including the possibility of encountering them in altered ways by having the play-field turned in steps of 90°. Another challenge in the game is the possibility to find a "secret room". Gauntlet II was ported to many home video game systems, but found the most popularity on home computers.[citation needed] The ports have very few differences except their two known box arts, the ports were released in the United States by Mindscape and Europe by U.S. Among the console versions of the game, a 1992 Game Boy version was released, and on May 3, 2007, a PlayStation 3 port became available for download, but that version has since been removed from the PS3's online store.
