It doesn\'t look that bad. It looks quite good actually, but that\'s all it\'s getting from me: quite good.

What\'s the matter with u people?? It looks pretty good!

Racer: Tomb raider rip off?? FYI, prince of persia was conceived way before any Lara Croft games even exist.

Dude, the original rocked. I miss that game. I need to go get it again out of my vault.

An original?

Hmmmm.... did it go by the same title. I cant find linkage for some reason. ??????

I had the original from about 10 years ago on the Amiga. It rocked.

Uff, what a change of look! Graphics are okay, but we\'ll have to check if the magic of the original Princes is still there.

I think a big part of PoP one and two was it\'s 2D sidescrolling charm... I\'m weary of these new FPS engine remakes of older games, because often, they loose a key \'simplicity\' that goes along with a limited 2 direction system.

Of course, having finished the first two, I\'m looking forward to this one, if just for the story!

Remember when you fight yourself at the end of #1, and the only way to win is to sheath your sword, and jump through the mirror? It took me a while to figure that one out

God I wonder how many classes I skipped in college from playing POP. That game rocked. I still have it on 5.25 inch disks, but I\'d have to install a drive. Bah...

Actually it\'s probably public domain by now. Anyone know if it\'s out there for free yet? I forget that site that has all of the old games on it.

I had it on the Amiga, I guess some emulation sites will have it for download.

« **Reply #12 on:** May 04, 2003, 09:27:02 PM »

Ya, it\'s hard to find good public-domain game sites these days... if anyone knows any hook me up. Even the ones who never posted still-buyable games got shutdown by the game-corp-syndicates. We really ought to be able to just download games so old you CAN\'T easily buy them anymore.

Anecdote follows:
I spent forever trying to get starcon2, even though the only way (eventually) I found to get it was either to pirate it, or buy it mail-order for 30 bucks US from some little company who had current distro rights to it. Now of course, it\'s avaiable again

Get the Original Prince of Persia Here
It\'s not piracy sense the game is freeware.

I\'ve tested it on my machine (WinxpPro) and it runs fine. Old internal speaker sound.

if i install VDMsound i\'m sure i\'d get normal speaker sound.
