Plot

After Malcolm's defeat against Brandon in the first game, Malcolm had been turned into a statue, but after having been struck by lightning, he was liberated from the spell. Malcolm then decides to take his revenge upon Brandon and Kallak, helped by his evil conscience, Gunther. Even though he lost his powerful magic, Malcolm decides to use his malicious wit and cunning to go through with his revenge. He eventually proves his innocence of the murder of Brandon's parents.

According to designer Rick Gush, Malcolm's Revenge was under-marketed by management, as "the brass at Westwood did not care about anything else" besides Command & Conquer. Despite this problem, he estimated the game as a commercial success, with sales above those of Fables and Fiends and Hand of Fate combined. The game's later bundle SKU with its two predecessors contributed "tens of thousands of [additional] copies to the sales totals in the first few months", Gush noted.[6] The Legend of Kyrandia series as a whole, including Malcolm's Revenge, totaled above 250,000 units in sales by August 1996.[7]

Scorpia of Computer Gaming World wrote, "Malcolm's Revenge is a refreshing game in many ways, although frustrating in many others. Definitely not a game for the beginning or impatient player."[8]Malcolm's Revenge won Electronic Entertainment{{'}}s 1994 "Best Adventure Game" award. The editors wrote that the game "offers more of the same, and then some."[9] PC Gamer US nominated Malcolm's Revenge for its 1994 "Best Adventure Game" award, but it lost to System Shock.[10]Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, and stated that "The brilliant visuals, a great sense of humor, and truly challenging puzzles will remind you what a great graphic adventure is all about."[3]
