.KINGS QUEST 2: Romancing the Throne (1985)
V2.2
1992

This game needed a keydisk, could not be successfully backed up,
and had trouble with smartdrv.

STORY:

Sir Graham is now King Graham, inheritor of the Daventry throne. But he
is a king without a queen, and his subjects fear the heirless fate which
befell his predecessor. Until the day when Graham beholds a dreadful
sight in the magic Mirror - a beautiful woman held captive in a secret
tower! Smitten, the king vows to release her. His search for three
magical keys will lead him to an enchanted land on the other side of the
world. To claim his future bride, Graham must explore underground caverns,
eerie towers, and ocean wonderlands; ride flying carpets; and meet and
mingle with legendary characters like King Neptune and Count Dracula!

The remainder of this file contains information about the original
version, but most of it also applies to later versions.

Cracked! A new KQ2.COM was supplied from Rawcopy, the original required a keydisk and
had a problem with smartdrv.  The keydisk can be copied with COPYIIPC, but the result
won't work.

Read the book for the story. It doesn't have any hints though.
If you go into the neat thatch cottage watch out for the wolf. Find the trident
north of starting position. Keep out of the poison lake.
