We've just come across a hot news story via the Plus/4 world website, that the all time classic platformer of 'Prince of Persia'; a game which was released for many different systems back in 1989 by Broderbund. As well as a more recent homebrew port for both the Atari XL/XE, Commodore Vic-20, and Sega Mega Drive. Has been converted over to the Commodore Plus/4 by Csabo, TCFS and Unreal.
In my opinion Prince of Persia is a truly fantastic game on any system! Not only does it feature lots of well designed platforming levels which are filled extreme danger. But you must be careful not to fall through loose floors, get hit by sword wielding guards, crushed by gates or at worst skewered in blood on deadly spikes. If you've never played this game before especially if you have a Commodore Plus/4 at home, then you really should be loading it up right now.

Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteTypo error on my part sorry all. Just writing too much . I've changed VIC 20 - Plus/4 in the write up.
ReplyDeleteImpressive, but the controls and movement are far too weird and different (not being able to hang on ledges, not being able to turn around or stop at platform edge while shift-stepping etc). Been playing this game since its release, and this is the first time ever when I gave up in frustration before finishing the first level.
ReplyDeleteYou are able to make the same actions (hanging, turning, etc), but sometimes in slightly different way
Deleteruns really smooth!
