The original? Well, it's the weakest if you don't count MoE (aka "Why did they slap the KQ name on this?!"). Lots of creepy ways to get yourself killed, too.

The fan-done remake, though? Absolute jaw-dropper that does everything a fan project is supposed to do and then some, integrating elements from every game in the series, expanding the plot and characters, and still keeping it recognizable.

Hey everyone,
I am looking for Kings Quest II. I know it's really old, but i played when I was younger and would really like to find it. I know its on ebay , i would love the collection but they are so expensive. Does anyone have it on disk and would be willing to copy it for me? Thanks for any help.

Reading from various sources, I have seen with interest that KQII has been given rather poor reviews in comparison to the other King's Quests games. While I would agree with most reviewers' comments, for me there is another dimension not mentioned that has made KQII my favorite out of the King's Quest series since I played it upon its release. At 25 years of age, I still love KQII above the others because the whole idea of the magic doors enthralls me. The magic inherent to this game; the idea of doors opening to new worlds, the concept of a great burning desire allowing one to traverse time and space...these elements hold me. The puzzles and storyline may be simplistic, I agree, but upon completing this game years ago I took with me a vision of the ideal and magic that the game encompasses, causing KQII to remain my favorite.
