Run and Gun II is a basketball video game developed and published by Konami as an arcade video game in 1996.
It is the sequel to Konami's 1993 arcade video game Run and Gun. [2] The original game had earned $1,500,000 (equivalent to $3,200,000 in 2023) from European advance orders prior to release (mostly from Spain and Italy), [3] and was America's top-grossing upright arcade cabinet in December 1993. [4]
Run and Gun II is a sequel that adds maneuvers like alley oops, spins, and defensive moves such as block outs. [5]
In Japan, Game Machine listed Run and Gun II on their May 1, 1996 issue as being the seventh most-successful arcade game of the month. [6]
Hyper reviewed the arcade game, rating it 4½ out of 5 stars and calling it "an excellent game" that is "far superior" to its predecessor. [7] Next Generation rated it three stars out of five, giving the praise to its multiplayer. [5]
