Added DiffLines:
It has a sequel, ''Excelsior Phase Two: Errondor'', with much-improved graphics and controls. In it, you are sent to the world of Errondor, tasked with solving a problem that could derail an up-coming peace treaty, and then finding the Fixer who was originally sent to fix it, but has disappeared.
Added DiffLines:
** In Phase Two, your only choice is between whether you want to play as a male or female Human, which has no effect on gameplay. There are only five skills, instead of Phase One's twelve, and the secondary stats have been removed.

Added DiffLines:
** In Phase Two, there's one plotting to [[spoiler: overthrow the Chicken Emperor]]
Added DiffLines:
** Much less present in Phase Two, especially if you deal with the wine problem before doing anything else.
Added DiffLines:
** Phase Two has a journal, but it's organised main quest first, sidequests later, and you can't cycle back through the pages if you overshoot by skipping straight to the last on the assumption that it's in chronological order.
Added DiffLines:
** In Phase Two, it's rather more sensibly mined in a cave. You get to do the mining.
Added DiffLines:
** Again, less present in Phase Two. The sandbox is still there, but it's much smaller, and the main quest is more explicitly spelled out.
