Crossroads II: Pandemonium is a shoot 'em up computer game from 1988 created by Steve Harter exclusively for the Commodore 64. It was originally published as a type-in listing in COMPUTE!'s Gazette magazine.

Crossroads II is a follow-up to the Crossroads game. Changes in the sequel include: twelve new monsters added to four of the original ones, two new 'power up' spars, and a pet dog who assists the player with beating each level. All the other game elements are the same aside from general updates like new mazes.[2]

Like Crossroads, Crossroads II was offered as hex formatted Commodore 64 machine code in COMPUTE!'s Gazette. A subscriber could type the hex into a program named MLX that would save the machine code as an executable, as well as verify the typed in data line by line.

A clone was released in 2014 in Adobe Flash.[3]
