This first sequel to the popular classic was pretty much a game with identical
graphics and sounds though it had more puzzles and music. Sir Graham is now
King Graham and he rules the land of Daventry with an iron hand. The mission of
the game: to seek a queen and to gain an heir to the throne. The story was more
in-depth and there were all-new characters to interact with, some good, others
bad. The success of this game brought more sequels and other new games using
similar graphics engines (Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.). The Magic
Mirror shows King Graham a vision about a beautiful woman, Valanice, imprisoned
on the top of an ivory tower. Being charmed by her, he is teleported to the
world of Kolyma to rescue her. There he must travel through sea, air, and even
death to gain the keys that unlock the three doors to the world where Hagatha
the witch has imprisoned Valanice. The game was first released in 1985 as a
disk that booted on start-up but was re-released in 1987 with EGA support to
run under DOS.
