King’s Quest II: Romancing the Throne Overview
King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne is a graphic adventure where players control King Graham. His objective is to locate a queen, a quest initiated after a magic mirror reveals a woman imprisoned in a distant quartz tower within the land of Kolyma.
The gameplay involves navigating this expansive, interconnected world using arrow keys. Player input is primarily through typed text commands, which combine verbs and nouns to interact with the environment. Kolyma presents a larger and more populated setting than the previous game's kingdom, featuring numerous screens and points of interest.
Progress depends on solving puzzles, which often reference common fairy tales. The design rewards intricate solutions with higher scores, though some obstacles can be overcome through simpler, less point rewarding methods. The core structure and control scheme remain consistent with the first title in the series.
