Stuart,
yes I've played it a couple of times. On a VGA display it has
decent grafx. The background graphics are not so overwhelming
but the animation of the player ...
It's one of the most accurate animations of a running, jumping,
climbing man I've ever seen in a computer game.
Jordan Mechner (the programmer of this game) has proven his talent
some years ago on the Apple ][ and C-64 with a similar game called
Karateka.
The game is fun for a while, but it hasn't too a big addictive
level. You run from left to right and vice versa, climb sometimes
fight with a sword (a rather simple version of a fight) and try
to get to your lady before the hour is over.
There is an Amy version, it looks like the I*M VGA version and has
also joystick control. Of course it isn't PD or Shareware.
Br�derbund is the company which released this product.
Have fun,
Helmut

| Prince of Persia is readily available from any decent software shop, it
costs about 20 quid.

| I've got it. It's impressive graphically but as an earlier reply said,
its gameplay could have been a little better. I'd have liked to have
seen more impressive backdrops too, but then I'm fussy!
Cheers,
Jamie.

| 4725.5 | Its all over | XSTACY::PATTISON | A rolling stone gets the worm | Tue May 21 1991 14:24 | 15 |
| Phew!
Finally got to the end of Prince of Persia.
Now I never want to see that little guy again....
I found this game very addictive up to about the 8th level. After that
I just wanted to get it all over with. You need a good joystick for some
of the later levels, I struggled with my Radio Shack one. Very nice
animation, but the novelty does wear off.
The last level is particularily frustrating.
