About This Machine

Amazon Hunt II is a 1987 solid-state conversion kit sold only in the European market, released by Premier Technology under the Gottlieb trade name. It reworks Gottlieb's own 1983 original "Amazon Hunt" and runs on the Gottlieb System 80B platform. The game was designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Larry Day, and 781 units were confirmed produced.

By 1987, Gottlieb (as Premier Technology) had used solid-state electronics for nearly a decade, so Amazon Hunt II reflects mature System 80B-era design rather than an early transitional machine. Specific gameplay details beyond its conversion-kit origins are not well documented.

As a Europe-only release built on an established Gottlieb title, Amazon Hunt II offers collectors a glimpse of Gottlieb's late-1980s System 80B output and the company's conversion-kit strategy for overseas markets.
