The map from Hero's Quest II/Quest For Glory II: Trial by Fire.

Hastily renamed due to a blatantly unfair trademark dispute from MB Games, QFG2 has one of the loveliest in-box maps you'll ever see. Shapeir remains a bit of a 'mare to navigate in-game.

The Coles were ahead of their time when it came to even-handed representation of non-European-inspired cultures, but I do wonder how the game would stand up to a play-through via Edward Said.

@MightyOwlbear It's one of my favorite Sierra games. And the maps we made ourselves with grid paper. :D

@trinsec I first encountered it as a bootleg (there was no copyright law in my country). I don't remember if a copy of the map was even included (I'll have to check the box), but as a kid I was quite bewildered by the city's layout!

I later got hold of a boxed copy of my own, I'm pleased to say.
