Gameplay

Navigate a vertical playfield in Enigma II, a two-player shooter released by Zilec Electronics under license from Game Plan in 1981. Players control spacecraft and maneuver them using two-way joysticks to target and destroy approaching formations of enemies. The game presents a gallery-style shooting experience, demanding precision as you eliminate threats across the screen. Two players can cooperate or compete while battling through waves of adversaries, relying on their reflexes to dodge incoming fire. Enigma II utilizes a limited palette of eight colors within a 224x240 resolution display and is powered by two Zilog Z80 processors alongside a General Instrument AY8910 sound chip, creating a distinct audio experience for the era. The game builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, Phantoms II, offering a familiar yet fresh challenge to arcade enthusiasts.
