      I was amazed at environment, levels, and enemy variety of Prince of Persia 2. It even has a my little pony.

      Fun fact: when my highschool library was switching over from a physical card catalog to digital, two friends and I took it upon ourselves to install this classic on the kiosk/podium interfaces that replaced the file cabinets. With only a few secret keystrokes, one could go from “looking to something for class” to hunting that gawdamned vizier that tried to have us killed! 🤘🏼

    Shit… this just made me think that every skeleton I ever fought in a game was really just the remains of a hero who fought so hard that even in death their body continued to fight and challenge the world.

    This reminded me of a super-interesting video i caught a while back about Prince of Persia. The creator, Jordan Mechner figured out some really clever tricks to make the game…the shadow-Prince probably being the most impressive. I highly recommend giving this a watch if you’re a fan of the OG Prince of Persia:
