Game Over II (known as Phantis in Spain) is a side-scrolling video game developed and published by Dinamic Software in 1987.
Although originally conceived as an independent game under the title Phantis, it was launched in the United Kingdom as the sequel to Game Over. The Atari ST version was never published in Spain and only exists with the Game Over II title.
The story begins after Arkon, the hero of the rebellion, has managed to defeat the evil empress Gremla and free the galaxy from her opressive rule. In the original Spanish version (Phantis), the player controls Major Locke who tries to rescue her boyfriend Arkon, captured by the forces loyal to the vengenful unnamed heir of Gremla (featured in the cover by Luis Royo) and imprisoned on the planet Phantis. In the English-language version, titled Game Over II, it is Arkon's job to rescue Commander Serena. Other than that, the game is the same in both versions.
Game Over II is a mix between a scrolling shoot 'em up game (similar to R-Type) and a platform game (similar to Turrican). There are four "phases" with six levels each. Some versions of the game were split into two parts due to size restrictions.
