History YMMV / KingsQuestIIRomancingTheThrone

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In both versions of the game, the Batmobile occasionally appears outside Hagatha's cave. In the remake, it crashes against a cliff offscreen.
* CompleteMonster: The Father in the FanRemake starts off merely as an EvilChancellor who sets Graham up to head to Kolyma. Two of his lieutenants have taken up residence there (one of which had been holding Valanice captive out of petty spite and had killed other women who had aroused her ire). Graham, being Graham, is able to dodge their traps [[spoiler: and helps convince one to leave]]. After returning home with Valanice, Graham exposes the EvilChancellor who abruptly goes OneWingedAngel, levels a deadly curse, and vanishes. The flash-forward scene during the Air Gem test has his showing up at Graham's darkest hour to gloat, the {{Fanon}} dialogue indicating that he had another of his mooks kidnap and enslave Graham's kid for sixteen years, set the three-headed dragon on Daventry to ruin it, and then forced Graham to sacrifice his remaining child to it. The next part of the curse drops Graham with heart failure at a moment of triumph, and the last gets a ProphecyTwist, thankfully. Thing is, he really doesn't have it in for Graham per se. Graham just happens to be standing between him and some leftover power from Daventry's first king.
* GeniusBonus: Some of the {{Shout Out}}s and {{Continuity Nod}}s in the FanRemake are really, '''''really''''' obscure.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: The FanRemake does this for the original.

* TakeThatScrappy: During the Cloud Spirit test in the remake, if you pass the first two questions you can choose an optional answer where Graham asks Connor to free the kingdom from a dreaded beast... revealed to be [[VideoGame/KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder Cedric the Owl]], and then he draws his blade [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments and chases the damned owl himself]].

* MostAnnoyingSound: Possum's voice in the fan remake sounds like a squirrel on helium.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Command line: [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Kill Dracula]], *enter*
** In the remake, [[spoiler: Batman!]] shows up at your wedding.
** Another from the remake, after whipping up the AntiMagic emerald, the sorcerer comes back and tries to kill or transmogrify Graham. Graham's trinket pulls a NoSell on the wizard. Graham then pulls his sword and tells that enchanter to get lost and ''never'' come back.
** A third from the remake. After finding out what Gervain ''really'' is, and had set up the whole adventure to get him killed, Graham answers his oily greeting with [[TalkToTheFist a right hook]] in front of everyone and loudly tells the whole court what kind of snake they have in their midst.

* FunnyMoments:
** The 1960s [[Series/{{Batman}} Batmobile]] randomly shows up.
** In the AGD remake, picking the wrong destination on the Door of Destiny will lead Graham into another Sierra adventure game. Seeing Graham trapped inside ''VideoGame/PoliceQuest'' or ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' (complete with him wearing an appropriate outfit, but retaining his NiceHat) are some of the [[HaveANiceDeath more amusing "deaths" in the game]].

* HilariousInHindsight: In the original game, killing the monk is something so horrible that the game kicks you out. In the remake, [[spoiler: you "have to" kill the monk to beat the game]]

** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: The FanRemake does this for the original.

* {{Sequelitis}}: The game isn't as good as ''VideoGame/KingsQuestIQuestForTheCrown'', but it is important to later games and did help launch the series.

* SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced: Maybe "rejoiced" is too big a word, but it was pretty cool when ADG got Richard Aronson to voice Cedric again for the FanRemake...
** What about getting Josh Mandel back as Graham?

* ExcusePlot: Much like in KQI, there are very few plot elements. The game plays more like a loose collection of unrelated puzzles. The FanRemake has a more coherent plotline.
