Counter Measure 2

Counter Measure 2 was originally developed as an unofficial fan sequel to the Atari 5200 game Counter Measure. When AtariAge decided to publish the game, they changed the name to Failsafe due to licensing issues. In 2025, Atari published a new edition of the game and restored its original name, Counter Measure 2, and made it an official licensed sequel to Counter Measure.
