Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire (1990)
Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire is a 1990 role-playing (rpg) video game made by Sierra On-Line.
Fresh from proving himself a hero, your adventurer arrives in Shapeir, a desert city of bazaars and blowing sand modeled on the medieval Middle East. Elemental spirits have been stirring trouble, and someone stands behind the unrest. Between meeting the city's traders, guards, and mages, you carry over your Fighter, Magic User, or Thief from the first game, or roll a fresh one. Sierra's second Quest for Glory keeps the mix that defined the series: adventure-game puzzles, a dash of combat, and stat growth. Warm, curious, and happy to let you wander.
