In this case, similar to the previous one, the PI2 extension file is a bitmap graphics format used by DEGAS, an image editor for Atari ST systems.

DEGAS (Design & Entertainment Graphic Arts System) is a bitmap graphics editor for the Atari ST which, in turn, is a line of personal computers from Atari Corporation and the successor to the Atari 8-bit family.

Here, the PI2 file is a medium resolution (640x200) 4-color compatible version that can be opened with DEGAS software on Atari systems or with various image viewing programs for Mac and PC.
