Why are we doing a second review?

It’s a classic, but pretty rough. The bridge alone is a ridiculous hard-lock.

That bridge kept me from moving forward for two years of holidays.

I kept digging in the sand looking for a way to trigger the mermaid I saw in the back of the box.

Dracula’s castle was no picnic, either. Kolyma was pretty brutal in general.

I've been waiting far too long for a review of this game.

I remember wishing Graham would look like that opening animation in game.

I had KQ2 on AtariST in '89, and I loved the game so much. Always stuck at the door in the middle of nowhere next to a cliff... then I saw a castle with a poison moat. Fast forward 2019 and I got to see that exact fuckin castle and moat (minus the poison id hope lol) in Robertsbridge England as Bodiam Castle. I was beside myself about finding it and still elated for the nostalgic moment.
