Prince of Persia classic

[Psycho Ned]

Anyone getting this tomorrow off XBL arcade? It's looks quality! Anyone who's never heard of it it's an updated version of the original POP platform game but with modern graphics:

800 points as well so not too expensive.

It looks really good but you have to complete it in 60 minutes and thats really it for longevity. I may get this not sure yet.

Nope.

I cant wait to get this!!!!

Played way way back. Would love to play updated version. Don't think I ever completed it in time though.

bugga...woulda loved to have got this...they should have some way for non live users to access this XBL stuff.

I refuse to buy anything off of marketplace now after the DRM issues I had with replacing my console. I think my second one is ready to go, it keeps making weird noises, scratching disks and it has frozen a few times. I don't want to go through all of it again so I'm waiting until my points have been refunded on my account and will purchase stuff after Microsoft get rid of their current stock and finally release consoles that are stable.

This does look pretty good though, my favourite titles on XBLA are still Geometry Wars and Lumines. Bomberman later this year is looking tempting though.

That looks brilliant. I would buy it immediately if the **** at Microsoft used better payment methods. Why they don't allow maestro is beyond me, as a result I find it much easier to purchase straight from the PSN.

 

[squiffy]

Want it on PC though. That's what format it was released on first I think?

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I used to have this on an old Mac. played it all the time but the 60 mins thing always meant I never completed it.

 

[skullman]

Had the original on my ST. New version looks ace. Cant wait

Used to love this on the Amiga, didnt know they polished it up for live.
Always remeber the cool animation.

Came out on the Apple II first.

I shall give this a whirl but I'm more looking forward to SWOS and Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe in August.

 

[Hencore]

It was announced yesterday that the release date will be in August.

As much as i like Speedball 2 and SWOS, i'd rather have the Chaos Engine.

Back to the OP, i'll be downloading PoP : Classic as soon as i get home

 

[Reeve]

this is a bit ot but anyone who likes strategy games should try catan (another xbl game)

its pretty damn addictive even though games can drag on for quite a while

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Has anyone played it yet?

I'll try it when I get home and probably buy the full version.

Seconded, i would pay a high price for an updated chaos engine
