 |  Re: Prince of Persia - another 8Bit conversion (sadly only for the 64 + Easyflash)
Question: why a C=64 version should be choppy and slow?
I played a lot with Myth (and some time with PoP on PC and Amiga), and the only difference I see is that Prince of Persia has much less attractive background (eg. Greek or Egyptian level) and much less spites at the same time on screen than Myth. Maybe a little bigger sprites, and slightly smoother animation (what about Impossible mission2?), but nothing else.
Sorry for being so straight, but I never understood the hype on PoP. It is a nicely polished game, and welcomed the Plus/4 version very much. But there are many-many more complex and more polished games on 8bit with lot of creative ideas, than this. I would call it a simple platformer.
If anyone would create GODS on C=64 or Plus/4, I would be the first to nod. But THAT one is hard or near impossible, while PoP is a nice code, but nothing extraordinary.
