This page is for the Atari Jaguar version of game, for other platforms see Zool.

Zool 2 in Japanese (ズール2 - Zulu 2), is a port and the only one for a home console being licensed by Gremlin Graphics Software Limited, developed by Imagitec Design Inc. and published by Atari Corporation (in America and Europe) and Mumin Corp. (in Japan) for the Atari Jaguar in 1994.

This port is the only one that came out for a console in an exclusive way because the division of Atari was of Commodore/Amiga Corp. it was decided to make a port to the console as exclusive, its development was very implemented, many improvements were made in comparison to the versions of computers which executed it half-decent, the sprites were improved and a minivideo rendered to 16 Bits was created as form of presentation and its sound section is all a marvel to be worked in the chip Jerry.

The levels were made minimal changes and added more objects which the previous versions lacked and the speed has been perfected using everything offered by the console base.

The gameplay is half basic bringing 2 characters to choose from with very smooth controls to the pressure, maps were made with a very detailed and very picturesque artistic level with a touch of shading as if it were candy.
