I was amazed at environment, levels, and enemy variety of Prince of Persia 2. It even has a my little pony.
The fluidity of the character movement was pretty neat too
Fun fact: when my highschool library was switching over from a physical card catalog to digital, two friends and I took it upon ourselves to install this classic on the kiosk/podium interfaces that replaced the file cabinets. With only a few secret keystrokes, one could go from "looking to something for class" to hunting that gawdamned vizier that tried to have us killed! 🤘🏼
Shit... this just made me think that every skeleton I ever fought in a game was really just the remains of a hero who fought so hard that even in death their body continued to fight and challenge the world.
This brings me back to my childhood! Thank you
This reminded me of a super-interesting video i caught a while back about Prince of Persia. The creator, Jordan Mechner figured out some really clever tricks to make the game...the shadow-Prince probably being the most impressive. I highly recommend giving this a watch if you're a fan of the OG Prince of Persia:
