Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire

Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire is a remake of the earlier game game of the same name. It features 256-color VGA graphics (as opposed to the original's 16-color EGA) and an icon-based interface very similar to that of the third game. All the original locations, dialogues, and gameplay elements have been preserved. Though the interface is mouse-based, the player still has the options of choosing topics during conversations by typing them, along with selecting them from a menu.

The Adventurers' Guild - even as an EGA graphics lover I'll say that this is one of the places which have undergone a lot of improvement. (Windows) from mobygames.com
The apothecary (Windows) from mobygames.com
The streets of Shapeir have also undergone a lot of improvement and are now much more varied. Still, you can't buy anything from these extra merchants. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Aziza the Enchantress (Windows) from mobygames.com
The Moneychanger at night. However, for me night sceneries are an EGA thing. In VGA places lose a lot of color and detail at night - maybe it's realistic, but not so lush... (Windows) from mobygames.com
This happens if you don't defeat the Fire Elemental on time. However, it's a wasted opportunity - VGA offered a possibility to make these fail screens more varied, but they remain very similar. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Another very much improved place - Issur's shop. (Windows) from mobygames.com
A secret only introduced in this VGA remake - the saurus repair shop. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Morning and evening time bars look the best - and just look, "the day is dawning" and Katta merchants are already out with their stands. (Windows) from mobygames.com
A very nice change: you don't sleep or rest in your room automatically, you can also take a look and buy some items to decorate it - even though the Hero will soon be leaving for Tarna... (Windows) from mobygames.com
The Eternal Order of Fighters - wait for my Wizard and Thief screenshots too! :) (Windows) from mobygames.com
The seedy Blue Parrot Inn in Raseir (Windows) from mobygames.com
Meeting Ad Avis (Windows) from mobygames.com
At the entrance to the Forbidden City (Windows) from mobygames.com
This place was already very interesting in the original. Now it's quite similar and yet different because VGA allows orange hues - something quite missing in EGA. (Windows) from mobygames.com
Stopping the summoning ritual (Windows) from mobygames.com
Playing as a Thief - I recall that, apart from the one in Raseir, the houses where you can steal something were relatively dull in the original version... (Windows) from mobygames.com
...Now they are really WOW. However, this particular room is difficult - to gain full points, you need not only high Sneaking and Lockpicking skills, but also Strength. (Windows) from mobygames.com
All character classes can practice and learn tightrope walking, but only the Thief will dearly need this skill and so only he gets points for completing it. (Windows) from mobygames.com
The harem - a colorful room, annoyingly heterosexual girls (and harems were also a haven for secret lesbianism), but don't you get the impression that they are a bit out of proportion? (Windows) from mobygames.com
You need to sneak past the eunuchs - too bad that most of the time part of the room is obscured by the arrows image (because you only press directions with the keyboard or this image). (Windows) from mobygames.com
Over the rooftops of Raseir - it looks very different in this version. A bit of a pity that only the Thief enters the ritual room this way. (Windows) from mobygames.com
The open doorway to WIT now has some more interesting visual effects... (Windows) from mobygames.com
Here's the second magic game, the one you can play with Aziza (after you become a full Wizard). (Windows) from mobygames.com
