One year after the first episode, Fairlight II was released, as a more outdoorish adventure, with trees, wolves, a galleon and not much new offer, it was basically a riproposition of the first game with minor changes - but in spite
of that it was probably still the 3d isometric adventure with most features, and you character walking,
jumping, fighting, picking, dropping, farting and smirking. At the centre of it there's loopy maze that can cause you
a really bad headache, because it's got lots of doors bringing you back to previously visited rooms. Anyway, there's lot of stuff to explore and to do, a three channel tune, and in spite of its similarity with the first one, it was and it is still very good. I surely enjoyed it when I snapshotted it until the end, a couple of years ago.

Maybe trying to take advantage of the success that had the first title the authors came out one year after with Fairlight II. There's little novelties in it, besides being a new adventure. The authors decided not to change the game elements much and only added new maps and landscapes. It features lots more scenes outdoor, with trees and animals, and a new big map. It's as good as the first maybe even better, but you can no longer call it original. It deserves however a place of honour amongst Spectrum's best.
