|  "Prince of Persia Flash level (Sands ad/promo)"
, posted Sun 5 Oct 11:16:
It's essentially an ad/promo off of Gamespot for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, but I found it cool nonetheless. It's essentially a high-res original level in the style of the original PC version of Prince of Persia.
Prince of Persia "Special Edition"
It feels slower than the original engine -- but all the subtle tricks are there: crouching to inch forward, not needing to be exactly below a tile to grab onto it, etc. Though, here are the deviations from the original that I found:
- Unlike the original, time also resets whenever you restart. Of course, that's intentional.
- UPDATED: Unless my positioning is off, falling a long distance on a loose tile doesn't cause you to break through the tile.
- Spacebar is only for when you're standing still -- it doesn't work while you're running.
- A tile falling on you doesn't actually hurt you.
- You can't activate a tile by hanging from it -- you have to stand on it.
- Though the battle system is true to the original, the enemies seem much easier to defeat.
As for viewing the game -- the game is at 640x480, so get your monitor to that resolution, click the link, and then go full screen. (To me, it seems to look best on Opera 6.05, i.e. no scrollbars or menu bars. Maybe the later versions do just as well -- I haven't upgraded yet.)
A few other notes:
- If you're using WinXP, turn off StickyKeys. Press SHIFT 5 times right now and disable in settings .
- The room with the three blades is possible: you need to figure out room positions to move and ways of maneuvering.
I clocked 3:50 the first time I was able to complete it (after dying several times trying to figure out how to complete the stage) -- the second time through, I was able to get 3:32.
