Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge was one of the first two games I played. My primary source of software at that point was a notoriously unreliable person who would promise and promise and rarely show up, but he did introduce me to Sierra.
As a non-native speaker, playing games in English was daunting but dramatically increased my vocabulary with such useful phrases as "gorf breath". Walkthroughs were few and very far between, so I was stuck at the gem puzzle for ages - "hold breath" instead of "dive"? An early introduction to the cruelty of Sierra.
SQ2 remains my favorite Sierra game, and a favorite of all time. Do not under any circumstances play the "remake".
