Gameplay

In the NES game, the player controls Gizmo through various levels in the building, armed with weapons ranging from the genetically modified super tomato in the laboratory to the new matchstick-firing bow in the later sections. The goal of the game is to reach the Gremlin Control Center to wipe out all Gremlins inside. The Game Boy version was a side-scroller also featuring Gizmo.

Other versions

The Spanish company Topo Soft and Motivetime developed a sidescrolling Gremlins 2: The New Batch video game for Amiga,[1] Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, MSX, Amstrad CPC[2] and the ZX Spectrum,[3] distributed by Erbe Software and Topo Soft in Spain and by Elite abroad, being the first time a Spanish videogame company got an exclusive license from a Hollywood movie to make a videogame. The game had featured Billy Peltzer using a wide variety of weapons (flashlights, tomatoes, Frisbees and the like) to dispatch of Gremlin adversaries. The goal in each of the five levels is to locate a specific item required to see the game's good ending.

Hi Tech Expressions also released a DOS game[4] in 1991, but it was poorly received.
