About King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne
King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne is an adventure game in the King's Quest series. Players control King Graham, now ruler of Daventry, as he searches for a bride in the land of Kolyma.

Players guide Graham through various locations, solving puzzles and overcoming obstacles using inventory items and interaction with characters.
