De-Frag: "If you speak to me for more than 5 minutes about games, you'll know that there is no game I'm more hyped up for this winter than the new Prince of Persia. So when I got the chance to play it earlier today, I was like a kid in a candy shop.
Getting into the new Prince of Persia on my first playthrough was a bit of a disorientating moment. The gameplay principles are the same, but there are a few small tweaks made to the formula here and there that took some getting used to. For instance, hitting the jump button once does that double jump up a wall that has been shown in so many videos, me not knowing this resulted in many jumps OFF the wall and down a cliff face. However, once I settled into it, I found a game that was highly enjoyable and really difficult for me to drag myself away from."
The mind behind Prince of Persia shares his family’s life story as well as his own as a videogame developer in an emotional and very personal book.
With the release of The Lost Crown this week, let's take a look at every Prince of Persia game released since the series debuted.
If you’re a gamer “of a certain age”, you may vaguely remember the moment when games went from a grueling gauntlet requiring all your skill and concentration to tackle to a casual, checkpoint-containing, cruise control-encouraging walk in the park.
I beat Jurassic Park multiple times!
Jurassic Park had no save system, so I would leave the console running while I went to school, took breaks. It's not that it's hard, it's just tedious. But I was a Jurassic Park obsessed kid (around 13 when this hit), so I would obsessively scower ever inch of the maps (both 2D and 3D) until I had them memorized.
The Star Wars trilogy, I only beat w the cheat codes.
Sounds just like me. I mapped out the indoor areas on paper, leaving the SNES on for days at a time. But I never finished the game. I collected all the raptor eggs except one. So close !
oh god, I remember beating JP on SNES and like you said, it was all in one shot.
I dunno about this list though, I beat all the Star Wars games and while some levels were tough, it was easy to get powerups and extra lives and stuff. Maybe set to the hardest settings it was tough. I also beat Contra 3, loved that game to death.
with the exception of Jurassic Park and Prince of Persia, I've beaten every other one of those. It just takes practice and time. Something I had way more of when I was younger.
