I remember we played Price of Persia without soundcard and one day my father came to tell me he saw the game in someone’s else computer and he could listen the steps and the junp.. we got a Sound Blaster 16 for that Christmas which came in a huge box. Bigger than a laptop today Edit: maybe it wasn’t prince of persia, I am confused now.

The Prince of Persia had such iconic footsteps. I think in part it was the rhythm. You could never go more than one screen-width before the steps would pause as the next screen appeared, so even when you were zooming through well-known territory, there was a start-stop rhythm. If I close my eyes, I think I could even work out the width of the screen in steps. I think around 10 or 11.

  Yes, and the double-step sound when he stopped!

  The rattling tile sound for me is the most iconic sound in that game. But it really was a masterpiece.

Sound Blaster 16. Wow, brings back memories. Mostly of wrangling DOS & Win 95!
