PRINCE OF PERSIA (SEGA CD) (1992) - Longplay [EU] (uncommented)
11No death walkthrough of Jordan Mechner's classic platformer PRINCE OF PERSIA. The video shows the EU version of the Sega CD port released in 1992.
In my opinion, the original PRINCE OF PERSIA still is one of the greatest, most rewarding and exhilarating platform experiences ever. I must have played through it as a child on my 286 PC a million times without ever getting bored of it. I tried the Sega CD version for the first time for this longplay and I must say that it is a pretty good port. I am especially glad that the framerate and controls are just as good as in the PC version (definitely the most important aspects when playing PRINCE OF PERSIA). The enhanced visuals and the CD audio soundtrack are a nice extra too. Compared to the early computer versions, the Sega CD port also comes with an extended anime intro and outro - something I don't really need but it doesn't hurt much either.
What I found interesting is that sword battles seem a bit tougher compared to the PC version (especially the first enemy in level 8) and that they added a final boss battle on the roof of Jaffar's palace. The original Jaffar from the PC version becomes a regular enemy instead. Other than that, gameplay and level design are similar to the computer versions.
