Game description:

After having recovered the three treasures, King Graham has been crowned king. Now having needing a queen for companionship, Graham searches the land for a maiden, but to no avail, so he turns to the magic mirror for help. The mirror shows him a beautiful girl locked away in a quartz tower in a faraway land of Kolyma, and must find three keys that are used to unlock the door that will lead to her.

King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne is a graphic adventure game. As is typical for Sierra's AGI games, players move Graham around with arrow keys and perform actions by typing commands in the interface, which are usually a verb/noun sequence. Like the first game, a good knowledge of fairy tales is required to solve some puzzles.


What I have to say:

Well, you get FINALLY points, unlike in the Apple II version of King's Quest.
However, there is still no score board like in the Amiga or DOS version.

And in my opinion KQ has more memorable moments than KQ II, like the dragon.

Oh ... and finding Little Red Riding Hood is annoying in my books...she is a real b- to find!

And it has GREENSLEEVES! YESH!!!

Anyways, this is a fun game...even if I prefer KQ a little bit more.
