When i was 11, Prince of Persia was a brutally challenging game and I called could hardly get to level 5.
But sometime later in 2000 I came to possess and old 386 HP desktop, and I tried running Prince on it, and I was surprised how easy it was: I have beaten it easily on the first try and later learned to run through it without dying at all.
- ahartmetz 5y agoI am hoping for a similar result (also didn't finish Prince of Persia at the time). I mean - in the meantime, I got pretty far in Super Meat Boy. Prince of Persia looks like a walk in the park in comparison.
- nolok 5y agoSuper Meat Boy is super responsive. Not once do you think "I pressed jump and it didn't jump". PoP by comparison can be very stiff at time, it's all part of the fun.
- ahartmetz 5y agoMaybe such controls were necessary for animation reasons. You can't jump while both feet are in the air from running, and you can't make doing that look realistic.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoI think, beating Aladdin (1993) on PC did help a lot: it was a more challenging game that required getting used to precise controlling the character. Prince of Persia has rather slow animations, and thus you don't even need a quick reflexes to beat it, just learn the levels and know where you need to move in a certain way.
- nolok 5y agoAnother awesome game that gives this feeling is Another World.
