The player's character has been sent back in time to defeat six Mad Sorcerers before they can create the Book of Magic featured in the original game.

Reception

Questron II outsold its predecessor by about 16,000 copies.[4] Scorpia described the game as very similar to, but not as good as, the original.[5][6][7] Questron II was reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #138 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[8]

Phantasie I, Phantasie III, and Questron II were later re-released together, and reviewed in 1994 in Dragon #203 by Sandy Petersen in the "Eye of the Monitor" column. Petersen gave the compilation 2 out of 5 stars.[9]
