If you haven't played a King's Quest before then be prepared to meet wicked witches, sneaky dwarves, righteous vampires, fearsome sharks, mermaids, unicorns, little girls dressed in red, and plump orange pumpkins. In addition, the crude graphics of the original version have been revamped bringing this King's Quest 2 into the age of VGA with some colourful and imaginative locations set to make King's Quest fans feel right at home.
