===''Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon'' (1992)=== In ''Gobliins 2'' the player controls two characters: Fingus (who is well-mannered, intelligent, and shy) and Winkle (who is strong, obnoxious, but dimwitted). They have been sent to rescue the King's son, the Prince Buffoon, who has been kidnapped by the evil Amoniak. Both goblins can pick up and use items, and both generally use an item in different ways. Unlike its predecessor, ''Gobliins 2'' allows (and requires) the player to travel back and forth between rooms. Also, both goblins can be given an order simultaneously, allowing for the inclusion of timing puzzles. A significant difference between this game and its predecessor is that in ''Gobliins 2'' neither playable character can die.<ref name="MobyGamesGobliins2">{{cite web|url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-st/gobliins-2-the-prince-buffoon |title=''Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon'' |access-date=2009-02-12 |publisher=[[MobyGames]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080227191053/http://www.mobygames.com/game/gobliins-2-the-prince-buffoon |archive-date=27 February 2008}}</ref> ====Reception==== ''Gobliins 2'' received generally good reviews, with most game magazines giving it a rating of between 70% and 90%,<ref name="AUIGobliins2Review">{{cite news|title=''Gobliins 2''|date=April 1993|url=http://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_picture.php?src=amiga_user_int/magscans/aui_1993_04_07-04/074.jpg&c=54860&n=1&filesize=409158|work=[[Amiga User International]]|access-date=2009-02-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718101254/http://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_picture.php?src=amiga_user_int%2Fmagscans%2Faui_1993_04_07-04%2F074.jpg&c=54860&n=1&filesize=409158|archive-date=2011-07-18|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="AmigaActionGobliins2Review">{{cite news |first=Huw |last=Melliar-Smith |title=''Gobliins 2'' |date=January 1993 |url=http://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_picture.php?src=amiga_action/magscans/aa40_1993_01/055.jpg&c=54860&n=1&filesize=422777 |work=[[Amiga Action]] |pages=54β55 |access-date=2009-02-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718101303/http://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_picture.php?src=amiga_action%2Fmagscans%2Faa40_1993_01%2F055.jpg&c=54860&n=1&filesize=422777 |archive-date=2011-07-18 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="AmigaComputingGobliins2Review">{{cite news |first=Paul |last=Roundell |title=''Gobliins 2'' |date=February 1993 |publisher=[[Europress]] / [[International Data Group|IDG]] |url=http://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_picture.php?src=amiga_computing/magscans/ac057_1993_02/134.jpg&c=54860&n=1&filesize=394683 |work=[[Amiga Computing]] |access-date=2009-02-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718101316/http://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_picture.php?src=amiga_computing%2Fmagscans%2Fac057_1993_02%2F134.jpg&c=54860&n=1&filesize=394683 |archive-date=2011-07-18 |url-status=live}}</ref> though [[Commodore User|CU Amiga]] scored it at just 40%.<ref name="CUAmigaGobliins2Review">{{cite news |first=Dan |last=Slingsby |title=''Gobliins'' |date=January 1993 |publisher=[[EMAP]] |url=http://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_picture.php?src=cu_amiga/magscans/cu_1993_01/056.jpg&c=54860&n=1&filesize=413324 |work=[[Commodore User|CU Amiga]] |access-date=2009-02-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718101321/http://amr.abime.net/amr_popup_picture.php?src=cu_amiga%2Fmagscans%2Fcu_1993_01%2F056.jpg&c=54860&n=1&filesize=413324 |archive-date=2011-07-18 |url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' in August 1993 praised its "challenging puzzles, sharp-witted entertainment, and enhanced ease of use".<ref name="greenberg199308">{{cite magazine | url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1993&pub=2&id=109 | title=Double Your Puzzling Pleasure in Sierra's Gobliins 2 | magazine=Computer Gaming World | date=August 1993 | access-date=12 July 2014 | author=Greenberg, Allen L. | pages=92}}</ref> In April 1994 the magazine said that the sequel was "no less entertaining than the original", and that the CD version added "much more sound and digitized voice-acting than in the enhanced version of the first game".<ref name="cgw199404"/>
