And this is where Tierra Entertainment stepped in. It received an EGA counterpart, which still had a parser interface, which by now looks very dated as well. This honour befell King's Quest as well, but a lot sooner than the aforementioned series. Sierra has always been aware of this problem, and has released revamped versions of most of its long-running series. By now most, if not all adventure gamers have grown used to an icon-based interface, and colorful SVGA backgrounds. Nowadays, due to the heavy changes in computer hardware, the games look dreadfully dated, and only the great gameplay remains. This is because each King's Quest game was both a technical masterpiece, and a masterpiece of gameplay. The King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones remake follows in the tradition of AGDI's King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown remake, containing updated graphics and the familiar Sierra Point-and-Click interface system.Sierra's King's Quest series is most definitely one of the best known, and most loved adventure game series ever. Additionally, as with King’s Quest I, the graphics (which were impressive for their time) soon grew painfully outdated. Players were generally discontented, believing the puzzles did not vary widely from the previous game and that the storyline was sparse. Due to the commercial failure of Sierra On-Line’s official SCI remake of King’s Quest I, no plans were ever made to upgrade King's Quest II in the same fashion.ĭespite this, many people regarded this sequel as being the King’s Quest game most in need of an update. King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne was made with Sierra On-Line’s AGI engine and featured the same 16-color CGA graphics and text parser as its predecessor. Graham’s ultimate mission this time was to rescue the beautiful maiden, Valanice, from her quartz tower imprisonment and marry his Queen. The game revisited Graham, now King of Daventry, and followed him on his journey through the land of Kolyma. King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne is the sequel to King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown, and was designed by Roberta Williams in 1985.
