===== What is this game? =====
|
|
King's Quest II VGA is, as it sounds, the VGA sequel to King's Quest I VGA.
|
|
This game takes place in a completely new realm in the game world: Kolyma.
|
|
Kolyma is a HUGE place, over three times as large as Daventry. Besides this,
|
|
there are many more characters, as well as much more dialogue than in KQI. The
|
|
events of this game take place a few years after the events of KQI. To back up
|
|
the gigantic size of the game, you now must get a stunning 185 points, a task
|
|
which I hope this guide will help you take and achieve. As with the first game,
|
|
this can be downloaded from Tierra/ADG Interactive's website (just Google it).
|
|
All in all, KQII is a huge sequal, sporting longer gameplay, a bigger story,
|
|
more dialogue, more puzzles, and more adventure. I know you will agree.
|
|
|
|
===== How is it different from the original? =====
|
|
Besides the title of the game having been changed, most of the puzzles in the
|
|
game have been altered ever so slightly. Many of the otherwise generic
|
|
characters from the original game have been spiced up and given backstories and
|
|
personalities. Of course, the graphics have been completely overhauled from the
|
|
original version released by Sierra, sporting the same pre-rendered backgrounds
|
|
of the first game as well as even more detailed sprite designs. A completely
|
|
new section of the game (the Sharkee Realm) has been added. Another part of the
|
|
game that has been changed is the story, which has also been given a complete
|
|
overhaul. More backstories, characters, and cutscenes have been changed from
|
|
the original game. All in all, anybody who has played the original should enjoy
|
|
this one and still find it fairly challenging.
|
|
|
|
===== Control Runthrough =====
|
|
When you move the cursor to the top of the screen, a toolbar will come down
|
|
which allows you to change what you are having the character (Sir Graham) do.
|
|
Clicking on a cursor will change the cursor, and the function of clicking on
|
|
items with it.
|
|
|
|
The cursor that looks like Graham is what you use to walk.
|
|
The cursor of an eye allows you to closer inspect items you click on.
|
|
The cursor of a hand allows you to pick up and interact with items.
|
|
The cursor of a speech bubble allows you to talk with things you click.
|
|
|
|
Now, about the inventory menus.
|
|
|
|
The item box (it will either show an item you have, or will be blank at the
|
|
start of the game) shows what item you are about to use. To use the item,
|
|
select the item in that box and click on something to use it on. You know you
|
|
have an item in the box when your cursor looks like the item you wish to use.
|
|
|
|
The inventory box (that looks like a satchel) shows what items you have with
|
|
you. To put an item in the item box, select it and click "OK". You can also
|
|
pick up and inspect items through this box.
|
|
|
|
The box with a tab on it allows you to change different aspects about the game
|
|
(ex. sound/music volume) as well as save and load games.
|
|
|
|
The box with the question mark repeats everything above concerning controls.
|
|
Congratulations on wasting a minute or two of your life.

===== Closing Statement =====
|
|
This is my favorite point-and-click game to date, and writing the walkthrough
|
|
was a joy. I hope you get at least some use out of this on where to go and how
|
|
to get all 185 points in the game. Most importantly, I hope this walkthrough
|
|
helps you to enjoy the game as much as I did. Keep on questing, and good luck
|
|
to you when Romancing The Stones.
