Putty Squad is a 1994 video game developed by System 3 and published by Maximum Games and Ocean Software.[1] It was originally developed for the Amiga 1200, but that version was not released until the end of 2013; prior to that date the SNES version was the only one to be released. Sega Mega Drive and MS-DOS ports also existed, but were cancelled.[2][3][4] It is the sequel to Putty (1992). In December 2013, the Amiga version was released as a Christmas gift on System 3's website.[5] In October 2015, the Mega Drive version was also released by a Sega-16 user who got a hold of a working prototype.[6]

A remake was released in November 2013 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Xbox Live Arcade, and Microsoft Windows. In November 2017, Super Putty Squad was released for Nintendo Switch.

Overall, while the original versions received positive reviews, the 2013 remake received mixed reception from critics.
