Sequel
A sequel to the arcade version was released the same year as a conversion kit for Gauntlet titled Vindicators Part II. Only approximately 400 units were made. There are only a few minor differences as the gameplay is nearly identical to the first, even keeping 10 of the 14 original stations of the first Vindicators. It even keeps the old graphics, music and sound. Though the in-game voice was changed to a less robotic sounding male, and several tank upgrades were added that are picked up as powerups and expire after a level is finished.
- Speed Up - Double's the tank's movement speed.
- 3-Way Shot - Fires three shots at a time in a spread.
- Invisible Tank - Cloaks the tank, making enemies oblivious to the player's presence.
- Score Doubler - Double's the player's score gained in that level.
One last thing to note is that the player is no longer limited by a slow and controlled firing rate, but may also repeatedly tap the button to fire as many as three bullets at a time.
Vindicators Part II was included in the 2012 compilation Midway Arcade Origins for PS3 & Xbox 360.

Famous quotes containing the word sequel:
“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
