Developed by Faucet, Gang Garrison II represented the height of 8-bit online multiplayer titles.

Featuring a unique art style and riveting musical score, GG II set the bar for class-based, side-scrolling gameplay. For those feeling nostalgic, fans can still play a fully-functional build of the game, provided here by the developers.

Man, I remember getting online with this.
The 300 baud modem made a huge difference over the 110 with the acoustic couplers.
But if you whistled the right tone into the handset you got full health back and invincibility!

Your vision is our vision... Colecovision.

Great work, but the smoke and fire from the weapons are way too advanced. Those graphical touches would have looked like an otherworldly level of technology back in 1982.

It might be hard to miss because it isn't the big huge link on their post, but this is the latest version:

It's missing a couple things like the engineer can't build anything yet and servers are a little scarce, but it is a fun little distraction.
