Prince Of Persia Online!
Just found a flash game called Prince Of Persia Special Edition which seems to be a promo for a new Prince Of Persia game.
This flash game plays just like the original but has a whole new layout, check it out if you are a PoP fan! http://www.gamespot.com/promos/princ...ia-game/flash/ |

There are a few features missing though. I didn't really like it.

Nice graphics (looks like Prince of Persia 2 on the PC) but the sound sucks.
And I drank a red potion : it removed 1 hp instead of giving one ; at least, in the Amiga game, poisoned potions were dark blue instead of red ! I don't like this remake ! |

I just found some of the controls lacking in comparison to the original. It's been a while since I played it now but I believe there was some of the moves that you just couldn't perform anymore.

I thought the PC and Amiga graphics of Prince of persia 1 was quite nice, even if simple I really liked the movement of the sprite.
POP 2 (and POP 1 for the MAC?) just looked too cartoony to fit with the backgrounds of POP1. |

WHOO!
What an addictive one! Thanks guys! [edit] completed it in 5:04 minutes! AND THE GAME IS NOW IN STORES!!! BTW, this new character animation might also attract *female* gamers, who will agree with me that the Prince has gotten a nice slinky ass meanwhile [see screenshot :P] (worlds apart from the "slightly mitigated" Amiga version btw ) (our meega-grrl might want to give some sorta valuation, too) Last edited by andreas; 26 November 2003 at 05:33. |

out of curiosity: the tecnique used to make the sprite here is not rotoscopy right?
i like it enough anyway but i think that it loose something (that i can't tell ) from the amiga version. that make me think that the amiga PoP had a different and catching visual feeling from its contemporary and i did'nt noticed back then! |

The technique is called "rotoscoping". This is the process of producing handrawn animation by tracing images in frames of film footage.

I have New Prince of Persia sands of time on Xbox it's F'ing stunning keeps the idea of the original intact and blends
it with a bit of Matrix type effects all in loverly 3d. Also includes elements of max payne 2 (time rewind etc) and even a dash of soul reaver/legacy of kain sucking in souls etc great game but i am stuck at the moment! It also has the Original prince of persia to play as an option in menu when u done 33% of game (if i remeber right!) (You have to beat your way thru some wall or sumat to find it ) |

I'm planning on throwing the new POP onto my wishlist. Good to hear you think it lives up to the original.
