A Top-5 game ever.
|
Prince of Persia 1 is for me one of the absolute classics of computer games history. When I saw it in 1990 or 91 for a first time I was about nine and it was a great win for me to get to the sword. Of course it was absolutely impossible to beat that perfectly fighting top-class turk in the first level. I remember how impressed I was when I finally once beated him and got to Level 2 (with about 7 minutes left), and how I was surprised that there are MORE levels, and that after first Level I do not free the princess. Ah, nice times those were. Now I am 20 and it is no problem for me to rescue the princess in less then half hour, but I love the game still the same. Now the years of experience pay back, when I am a big hero to my 5-years old brother, who doesnt get even to that sword, hihi. Prince of Persia is surely one of the top 5 games I know next to such pieces like Civilization. Sadly, the old classic pieces were usually much more funny then those new games with bombastic visual effects, but no new ideas...

You're damn right about that! I think Pop1 is the best game ever. I was that young too when i played it for the first time and it was just as great as you telling it! |

Exactly. Now the chilren grow on action games full of blood and only rarely get to this old good game, just because it IS old. Come on Jordan Mechner, give us the new and fine Prince of Persia 2000, better then the 3D one, which will give to another generation a sense of life (to save a princess)! |
