Prince of persia SOT

i can hardly remember the days i started on that "ninja gaidenly" hard, "residently evil"ly scary , 1990 pc game prince of persia.

always too stressed, it was all alone, no one talking , no one helping, only me jumping from side to side on a black background .

well ofcourse there were no saves or checkpoints , you die? YOU DIE. i could never finish it or hear anyone to do so... but anyway it s new prince of persia so i am giving a try ...

day1:

this new one is pleasing, colorful . resembles the "disney" movies with its skin tones and those white loose pants the prince wearing ....

everything goes smooth,animations and mass just feels right , combat is boring alittle as i always abuse the "jump-over-to-its-back and slash+slash...." , guaranteed way...

interesting to see , foe 's attack wilder if i repeat same killer moves , but once i do something new, combat ends dramatically easy...

now i have a dagger , "undo" s any death , frequent checkpoints aswell , even if i waste all my sand boxes, and die again , i dont moan like i used to...

day2:

now inside some enourmous cave, walking jumping off cliffs, there are some wooden blocks, i can hardlly walk over, trying to keep my balance but the BATS! attack me occcasionally, hence they are easy and what i like is, they run away before their whole group gets smashed by my sword.. that s cute , also annoying.!

, hm through the cave , now in water canals of some sort, it s huge ! but all colors of green, so silent with splashes of water for the ambience sounds... amazing stuff, i am almost transported there, dont even notice my real world....

this water canal seems the most impressive yet...

moment of the game**

day3 : after hours of jumping , throuh bloody traps and such, solving a great looking yet easy (easy ,only after solving) puzzles... game is stuck , the girl should pull the lever for me but she cant, she jumps in wrong direction...she is 1 meter away from where she is meant to be... she jumps but the lever is not there...

loaded again , the same problem...and i was not saving on mutliple files.....

have to start again.....ALL OVER AGAIN!

17 years later , things hvnt changed much , have they?
