Gauntlet II, like its predecessor, is a fantasy-themed hack and slash. Gauntlet II was ported to many home video game systems, but found the most popularity on home computers. The ports have very few differences except their two known box arts, the ports were released in the USA by Mindscape and Europe by U.S. Gold. Among the console versions of the game, a ZX Spectrum version and a 1992 Game Boy version were released; 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. The port for the Nintendo Entertainment System was among the first NES games to support 4-player mode. The Game Boy version was praised by the German Play Time magazine for its technical implementation (including 8-directional scrolling), faithful recreation of graphics, and for evoking nostalgic feelings with similar sound effects, however this version was criticized for difficult-to-recognize sprites and its technically weak theme music. The Spectrum version of the game was not received quite as well as the original, however, Sinclair User said it was "A corker. Fast action and superb gameplay make Gauntlet II probably the first sequel worth the cash". Your Sinclair said it was "A 'must have' for all of you who asked for Gauntlet on your Desert Island Disks." Both YS and Crash gave the main weaknesses as the sound and the over-similarity to the original. Source:[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_II)
