NES Longplay 042 Prince of Persia

Played By: BimmyLee83 If you haven t played the original Prince of Persia and are curious, try to get hold of the PC or Amiga version instead (or if you can dig up an Apple II and play the original version, that would be good, too). The NES port is inferior to the aforementioned versions, but it isn t without a redeeming factor or two. The sound effects are okay for an NES game. The music I should ve turned it off. The control is inconsistent and a bit problematic at times. You have to be extremely careful while running (as you do in the other ports, but even moreso here) because there seems to be more of a delay between the time you let off of the directional pad and the time Prince stops running, which can land you at the bottom of a fatal drop or in a batch of spikes pretty easily. Creeping is much safer, but much more time consuming. Other times when you re trying to grab onto a ledge after a jump or fall, Prince simply won, 39
