Topic | Finally getting into Prince of Persia (DOS, 1989) |
Robot2600 04/24/24 9:12:22 PM #1 | This was one of the first games I ever played, and it's always seemed really daunting.
I remember one random day in high school I got in the zone and got really far on the NES version, which isn't easier as far as i know, but I have so many memories of playing the DOS version on an IBM 386. Figuring this shit out is a lot of fun. Even getting just a little further feels very rewarding. This game was awesome for letting you explore in any direction, and not just being a left-to-right kind of game. Every screen feels like a new mini-level. The deaths are bloody and don't fuck around. I always thought the deaths were awesome, plus you have infinite lives, so it never feels that bad. Tomb Raider obviously takes a lot of inspiration from this game. If you can appreciate the original Tomb Raider then I think you'd like the DOS Prince of Persia. Pitfall!, A Boy and His Blob, Another World, Black Thorne (SNES), Tomb Raider, are all kind of similar games. Also the 1 hour time limit was always like "o so ill never beat the game." seemed impossible. There's a savefile, basically a savestate that will only work at the start of the level, so im sure beating the game is very do-able. But do I have the mental fortitude? Anyone else like this game? --- April 15, 2024: The Day the Internet Died |

Robot2600 04/24/24 3:12:09 PM #15 | ill give you guys an example.
im salaried, and given the option to pick up "extra" work duties, but they only pay me at the contract-worker rate for those overloads. im already at 40 hours so extra work means 50 hours, at least. if they paid me 1.5 my normal rate id probably do it, but they pay like 60% of my normal rate for "overtime" so, obviously, i don't take on the extra duties because they pay worse than my job, but many colleagues are forced to take them, or need money, and so they get exploited. --- April 15, 2024: The Day the Internet Died |

idk how you can say with a straight fucking face shes "not breaking records" or whatever the fuck. we can talk about how fame is more important than talent, sure. but she's not operating under some different laws of physics or reality--if it's so easy then why didn't drake or lil wayne or whoever the fuck do it? cause they are trying, and they can't. it's that simple. i don't care if you like the album, her music, or her. but a high score is a high score, and you all look extremely petty by saying the person who got that high score doesn't deserve it, even though she's just playing the fucking game. --- April 15, 2024: The Day the Internet Died |

Robot2600 04/23/24 5:24:44 PM #31 | idk what yall are on about, i totally get where the creator is coming from.
he's just expressing his perspective, it's not like he's actively mad at other people, just disappointed at the overall reaction, which seems perfectly reasonable. also he's not wrong, braid as a game is alright. sort of. but it is interesting as a psychological text. the time travel mechanic is used well, like Life is Strange, to tackle the concept that even if we could change the past it wouldnt change the present all that much. or at the very least it doesn't make anything easier--and it might make everything harder. --- April 15, 2024: The Day the Internet Died |
