Zool 2 is a sequel to the platform game Zool: Ninja of the Nth Dimension, developed and published by Gremlin Graphics in 1993. The Amiga remained the lead format for the second Zool game, but unlike the first it was not widely ported to the other platforms (only the Atari Jaguar and DOS). The PC version of the game was also re-released as part of the Windows-based compilation CD Best of Gremlin in 2000.
The game has been originally planned to be bundled with the Amiga CD32 by request from Commodore, but when Gremlin Graphics failed to reach the deadline, Zool 2 was bundled with the Amiga 1200's Computer Combat pack in 1994.
