Quest for Glory II's VGA remake is better, in my opinion.
Why?
Because not only is the combat system better (in my opinion), but there's also something there that few would expect.
A pizza elemental.
As in, a giant pizza monster that always takes 1 damage from ALL attacks.
I have never even beaten it, but it's fun!
Also, it's impossible to cheat against it (in terms of max HP), because HP is set to 200 regardless of how high it really is.
