King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne (1985)
Good but it gets better
The original version of this game was OK for 1985, but it is seriously dated now in 2004. The plot was very simple and quite frustrating at times, and this sequel was little more than a fast and dirty rehash of Quest for the crown with new background screens. The plot elements were contrived and taken from various fairy tales rather then being original creations invented by the author. However, I recently had the pleasure of playing through the AGDI remake of King's Quest 2 which contains new graphics, music, and even a tidied up story line. Characters and events have more of a purpose and place in the AGDI remake release. These guys have done a marvelous job at bringing Kings Quest 2 up to the same level as King's Quest 6. Could swear it was something released by Sierra in their heyday. I recommend everyone give it a try.
