Preppie II is a maze-action game developed by Russ Wetmore and published by Adventure International for Atari 8-bit computers in 1983. It is the sequel to the original Preppie!, continuing the adventures of protagonist Wadsworth Overcash.

The game features three interconnected maze-like levels with unique layouts and obstacles. The player’s objective is to change the color of all floor tiles by moving over them while avoiding enemies such as radioactive frogs, golf carts, and lawn mowers. The levels include rotating doors that alter maze pathways, adding complexity to navigation. A temporary invisibility cloak power-up allows the player to pass through enemies and doors without triggering them.

Preppie II supports one-player gameplay with joystick controls and was released on both cassette and diskette formats. The game was programmed in machine language, with graphics and sound created by the developer.
