Ancient DOS Games

King's Quest II (1x49)

Air date: Jun 11, 2011

Ah, text parsers... While text adventures were an interesting breed of games, Sierra came along one day and made them more dynamic by actually placing the player into a graphical world, using the text parser only so far as to determine what actions the player wanted to perform. There's a few reasons why I decided to cover KQ2 first and not KQ1, since I normally go in sequel order for these old DOS games, but the big reason is that I was having trouble getting my copy of the original version working in DOSBox. Got past that problem eventually though.
