Battle Squadron 2 also called Aviators as a working title, runs in Amiga halfbright mode. Which means +32 extra shaded colors on screen.

This was the sequel in the works to Battle Squadron, i.e. Battle Squadron 2 (with the working title “Aviators”), as it looked on the Amiga back in 1990 when we stopped the work. The game runs in “half-brite” mode with 64 colours. Regarding the game play, we were planning on having two playing-modes, one where you “punch” enemies to allow conservation of their weapons/energy for your own aviator, and one where you shoot as in a conventional shoot ‘em up. Now in 2010, we have revised the game entirely and are starting “anew” (see website for details).
You have a stunning website – very much enjoying browsing the posts but also finding the structure of your site is exceptionally good!! Looking forward to your coming posts! All the best – Tu Korineck in Contagem
You should take part in a contest for one of the best blogs on the web. I will recommend this web site!
Incredible! Your site has a ton readers. How did you get so many people to look at your blog I’m very jealous! I’m still learning all about posting information on the internet. I’m going to click on more articles on your website to get a better idea how to get more visable. Thanks for the assistance!
It’s good too read your blog again buddy, i see some interesting updates here…
I’ve been playing this at different times for over 20 years! Started with the Amiga 500 of course.
Can’t wait to have it on my iPhone. I’ll be able to get all my iPhone gaming friends to buy it as well.
Hi Lance, That is fantastic for us to hear
It is really things like that that keep us going! We will be sure to add Bluetooth ASAP to allow 2-player mode 
It’s great to see companies that are SAS70/SSAE 16 Compliant – it really shows the additional effort put in to make sure they are operating with a great control environment.
Only wanna comment that you have a very nice web site , I enjoy the style and design it actually stands out.
Thanks Byron
The website is under constant update to keep it fresh and in tune.
A little bit off topic here but thought you might like to know that your page looks great on my new IPad. Not joshing, just thought you’d like to know
Yeha whz up? AMIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hi aghnar,
We are extremely happy to hear that you are playing BOTH Hybris and Battle Squadron now 20 years later!! The controls is one of the most important issues in any action game and rest assured that we will spend the time required to make it great in future releases. Before we release “Aviators”, which we will eventually give a new name, there are a few other things we have to finish first… thank you for your patience…
Hi Vollldo
Thanks for your enthusiasm and support
Good news !!!! Every amiga fan will pay for it
I will ! It would be really wonderfull to release it on Amiga platforms 
. Take all the time you need to do a fantastic game on the “new ones” and the the Amiga 
. Every fan is behind you !!! And a big “hello” from France here.
Well Hybris and BS are really one of my fave games. You should release this for the Amiga, I would PAY for this game if it comes out on the Amiga.

Thanks. Very nice to hear you like both games
We are considering re-releasing the games on Amiga platforms, but right now we will focus on “the new”, i.e. the phone platforms. And we’re working very hard to make this a good playing experience as well 
Most of the times i visit a blog i get disappointed. Regarding your blog,I have to say that you have done a good job here.

Hello.
I would really like to see this game on classic amiga/WinUAE and will pay for it. However, i am not at all interested by any Iphone/Android/PC and would not buy it.
PSP would not be bad.
Keep up!
Regards.
Cool!
more vids please
Aviators (Battle Squadron 2) on Youtube.
Fantastic, please finish this Amiga game.
Cool , please release the Amiga version.
Yay, only Amiga!
Heey !cool! way to go. give us 24 bit grfx and smooth game.
new amigas are fast too.
Sure, but I’ll buy it only for the Amiga (AGA? ECS?).
Yes only for Amiga please
13.6.2010 Added post on game change.
Awesome work, loved the original.
Hello! interesting site!
Great, please release the Amiga Version!!!
Great to see that this games is coming out. I can’t wait to see this on my Amiga. Great work! Keep it up!
Can’t wait to see this on my Amiga. Any chance for a little beta-testing?
Yes, but *ONLY* for the Amiga. No other platforms interest me.
That’s a GOOD choice!
ONLYYYYY AMIIIIGAAAAAAA!!!
(makes it possible)
It looks very good. Please do it for AMIGA!
Yes, please release this game for Amiga, other platforms are ( for me personally ) uninteresting !
Hope you will keep up the great playability of the first part, that was what made BS so fantastic !!! I´m playing it regularly until today !
Please leave this game developed for the Amiga!
Yes i want Battle Squadron 2 for Amiga!
Hello i want to see this on my real amiga.Please !!!!!
Greetings thomas
Awesome!!
Please make it real for the Amiga.
yes, please!
This uses EHB? It honestly looks no better than the original game.
I’d still like to see a completed version, though, if only because of the dearth of good shoot-em-ups on the Amiga.
Yes please!!!!!!!! Straight to the Amigaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yes, but only for the classic Amiga, please.
Anything else is passé…

The fundamental question is: why one of the player characters is not a woman?
I would suggest considering such option.
We didn’t forget that, so here it is.
Pingback: Battle Squadron II: Aviator.. ¿próximamente?
Screenshots mean there is a demo version right? Mind to share that first?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, please! *bowdown*
AWESOME.
Please finish this game!
If you need any help, I bet the people at eab.abime.net can help.
thanx.
we’re looking into it. We still have alot of ideas and concepts to consider.
YES YES YES PLEASE ! DO IT !
AMIGA of course.
Battle Squadron and Hybris were and remain two of my favorite games on the Amiga.
I will buy two or three copies of Battle Squadron 2 for Amiga when you release it. Cause you guys definitely must release such a gem!
As you can read there’s a growing demand for BS2 and it’s just the beginning!
Yes, very interested in BS2 completion! Many of us love the idea of new software for classic Amiga.
Yes i want Battle Squadron 2 for Amiga!
BattleSquadron2 for Amiga? Yes please!!!
I would pay for a sequel to play it on my good old Classic.
That game was one of my favourites and I still play it today.
Please release that game for Amiga, keep the magic alive!!!
Yes , make it available for the amiga !
Fantastic. Battle Squadron was amongst the “Elite” of Amiga games.
I would definitely pay ££ for a finished Amiga Version of Battle Squadron 2!!
Definitely would NOT buy an iPhone or any other version.
Along with Silk Worm, Swiv and Project-X, Battle Squadron is THE SHOOT’EM UP for little Amiga’s. I look forward with this project…
Thanx.. We are working on it.
Battle Squadron was/IS the best amiga game.
I can’t believe this version 2 has never been heard of before.
this needs to be completed and released for the Amiga.
I would pay for it, if it plays like the first one.
don’t go and release it for the iphone crap. I don’t want to play games on a phone, I use a phone for phone calls not games, I never understood the need for people to play games on phones, how stupid is it having all good games released on stupid phones. !
please finish this and release it on the amiga, and make sure it can run on the emulator aswell, as I use an xbox with winuaex nowadays.
I’d still be willing to pay for it though, because Battlesquadron is still so good even nowadays, its still my favourite shooter.
Yes please! Only on the Amiga if possible. I would definitely pay for the finished product, no question.
Good luck.
Who would make a music? I don’t think Ivo Zoer / Ron Klaren will contribute their fantastic tunes again?
It is worth a try, I think.
Hi,
I want it too !
I remember seeing a picture of the upcoming game after Battle Squadron and the screen looked like SOTB. It was called AFAIK ‘entity’ (working title I suppose, its not the other Amiga game of the same name)
Kamel
Just make the damn thing! I will not hesitate in paying whatever price you ask for it because it will be well worth playing a NEW game on my Amiga once again
Yes, I am interested in an Amiga game for Amigas (!).
I´d pay for it.
Please, finish this game. I was there and played Hybris, i was there and played Battle Squadron (i still do play these!). One amiga-nutta here for the win!
Is there a working demo of Battle Squadron 2 for Amiga?
a final version of Battle Squadron 2 on Amiga would be really interesting as i kept in mind that Hybris and Battle Squadron were 2 of the best Shoot’em up on Amiga !
Interested in seeing it finished? H*ll yeah… On Amiga hardware…
Hi
Looking forward to play Battle Squadron 2 on Minimig
Bye and many thanks, Magic Sam
a finished amiga version would be nice. not interested in iphone games.
iPhone games… touchscreens are the doom of beautiful machines. BUTTONS, we want BUTTONS, is that so hard to understand?! To hell with touchscreens!
Why didn’t you finish Battle Squadron 2?
After you finished BS2 you should have made BS3 AGA 256 color version.
And of course a 16.7 million color BS4 for Natami.
Battle Squadron was always my fave vertical scrolling shootemup.
p.s. I do not buy iphone games, sorry.

Would be really nice to see it finished on Amiga!!!
Battle Squadron is one of the best Amigashooter. I’m happy to see that you are working on Battle Squadron 2.
Please release that game for Amiga,
Thankyou kamelito
your support is greatly appreciated.
best regards
Torben and Martin
Which is why the new development setup, could also include the coming system Amiga X1000 from Hyperion, but no guarantee can be made at this point.
hi, first of all thanks for hybris and battle squadron i’m still playing those nowadays! Could you please add the cd32 joypad button for both, it will make the play much more enjoyable, last things like many amiga fan i’d be very happy to play aviator on my amiga, i’m waiting since 1992.
