Description
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.

The War Continues... After the successful elimination of the terrorists and their missile silo complexes, we have heard through various sources that they have relocated, and have doubled their security! Once again you must invade enemy territory and prevent the missile launching aimed at Washington D.C. and stop the terrorists once and for all! In Counter Measure 2 you must make your way through five different terrains in search of the Depot where you will pick up Fail-Safe clues. One letter in the code, in its correct position, appears in the center of your fuel gauge. The sixth terrain is the most dangerous of all - the missile silo is heavily guarded by all enemies, including a mine field! If you make your way past that, you will have to enter the four-digit hexadecimal code to stop the launch and save the world. Do that, and you will start over in a more difficult environment. Otherwise... The game was originally developed as an unofficial fan sequel to Counter Measure.
