The History of King's Quest II
King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne is the sequel to Quest for the Crown, and was designed by Roberta Williams in 1985. The game revisited Graham, now King of Daventry, and followed him on his journey through the land of Kolyma. Graham’s ultimate mission this time was to rescue the beautiful maiden, Valanice, from her quartz tower imprisonment and marry his Queen. 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. 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.
Despite this, many people regarded this sequel as being the King’s Quest game most in need of an update. Players were generally discontented, believing the puzzles did not vary widely from the previous game and that the storyline was sparse. Additionally, as with King’s Quest I, the graphics (which were impressive for their time) soon grew painfully outdated.
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. But this time there is also an added storyline, deeper plot, fleshed-out characters, clever puzzles, enhanced artwork, music, atmosphere, depth, culture, and more - basically, the whole nine yards!
Since its initial release in December, 2002, AGDI’s King's Quest II remake has been downloaded over 451,400 times! The original speech add-on pack was downloaded more than172,450 times, and the digital music add-on pack over 202,000 times, again proving that there is still vast interest in the adventure gaming genre!
King's Quest II Remake Release Information
AGDI's King's Quest II remake was released on December 3rd, 2002. This marked the development team’s second completed remake achievement. A few weeks later on December 17th, 2002, an updated version was put out in the form of Version 1.1. This build fixed some small bugs and issues that had been reported in the first public release.
The initial voice pack for Romancing the Stones was released on April 2nd, 2003, alongside another updated version of the game (version 2.0). An April Fools Day “voice pack” announcement, which was made the previous day on our forums, caused much speculation as to whether this announcement was a prank or not. Much to the delight of fans, a real voice pack was actually released the very next day.
Version 3.0 of the King's Quest II remake was released on March 14, 2009. This now includes the music and speech packs as part of the game download, as well as adding a plethora of touch-ups, enhancements, improvements, and many other new features to the game.

An adventure marches on!
Soviet Unterzoegersdorf (pronounced "oon-taa-tsee-gars-doorf") is the last existing client republic of the USSR. The soviet enclave maintains no diplomatic relationship with the surrounding so-called "Republic of Austria" or with the capitalist fortress "European Union".
The downfall of the people's motherland -- the Soviet Union -- in the early 1990s had a devastating effect on the country's intra-economic situation. External reactionary forces threatened the last remaining proletarian paradise.
Party secretary Wladislav Gomulka has been kidnapped and is being held in US-Oberzoegersdorf. We must save comrade Gomulka! Because communism isn't an opinion. It's a promise.
