Beat My Prince of Persia Time...I Dare You

[rsnomar05]

The copyright just ran out on my favorite game of all time: Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame.

that means it is legal to download the game, and here is the link: http://www.abandoneer.com/download.php?gameid=42

And here is the link to what you need to play it with:

Anyway, I just beat the game with 30 minutes remaining, and I wanted to challenge everyone here to try and beat that time. For those who don't know, PoP2 was such a hard game because you were only given 75 minutes to rescue the princess and beat it.

And because I am feeling generous, here's a hint: in order to beat the game, you need to find the life extending potion in each level, starting with level three (the first caverns level). There are two in level three, but just one in every other level. Failure to do so will mean you cannot turn into the flame, and you need to do so to beat Jafaar.

I'm going to try and shatter my 30 minutes remaining mark, but until then that is where it stands.

EDIT: This may be in the wrong forum. However, it isn't exactly a new game, and I have seen tons of links for games (like the paper airplane game) that are not new console releases in this forum. So Mods, feel free to move it if you think it is necessary.

Re: Beat My Prince of Persia Time...I Dare You

Post if you need help with any of the levels. Some of them are extremely tricky and require a lot of thought/puzzle solving ability.

Here are the controls, in case you don't know:

NUMBERPAD:

Left: 4
Right: 6
Jump Left: 7
Jump Right: 9
Jump Up/Climb Onto Ledge: 8
Crouch/Put Away Sword: 5
Crouch Walk Left: 1
Crouch Walk Right: 3
Draw Sword: 0
Hang Onto Ledge: SHIFT
Become Shadow: Turn left, then right, repeatedly. You need seven potions to do this, as each turn takes away a potion. The prince will drop to the ground, seemingly dead, and you will be able to control his shadow, who is invisible to all bad guys.
Become Flame: Do the same thing you did to become the Shadow, and if you have 11 potions, you will become the Flame instead. The Flame is like the Shadow, only he can shoot a fireball from his hands. Each fireball takes away a potion, so make sure you shoot them sparingly.
