Vintage Game Club - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
August 27, 2010
Back in 2001, Jordan Mechner teamed up with Ubisoft to resurrect his Prince of Persia series, which first appeared on the Apple II in 1989.
Lots of us had doubts about how that game would withstand a "next-gen" treatment, but Mechner proved doubters wrong with the release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, widely considered one of the best action adventure games of all time.
PoP: Sands of Time is the next game up for the Vintage Game Club. If you've never played this game, now is your chance to correct that glaring omission in your gaming vita. If you've already played it, you're welcome to join our conversation and give the game another look.
As I've mentioned before, we use the term "vintage" purposely because its primary definition: "characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal" strikes us as just the right way to describe the games we play together. As far as we're concerned a vintage game can be 20 years old or 2 years old. For our purposes, it doesn't really matter.
We all have busy lives, so the VGC is a no-pressure environment. If you decide to start a game with us, but can't continue it, or if you post a comment but can't return to follow up, no big deal. The club is just a framework for bringing us together. We're here to have fun and broaden our knowledge and awareness of important games. All are welcome!
