SDLPoP  author2014The ubiquitous original Prince of Persia ported to SDL and modern systems with . This port is modable (total conversions). It also has the option of individually turning on or off, any feature, quirk, or bug that ever existed for any port of the game. Time limit can be set and optionally count cut-scene/music time. Adds force-feedback, haptic feedback. Sensible features like guards break your fall if you land on them, slamming into a wall will shake nearby loose tiles (so you don't have to step on them or jump up into them) and Iaido strikes (draw and strike in a single stroke). Finally, there are built-in cheats. You can, for example, play with more time, less time, or infinite time.

A young foreign prince is in love with the Princess. This is a threat to Grand Visir Jaffar who illegally controls the throne in the Sultan's absence and intends to legitimize his rule through marriage. Jaffar kidnaps the foreign prince and locks him in the dungeon. In 1 hour, the Princess must marry the Jaffar or be killed. Play as the foreign prince. Solve puzzles, find items, find a sword, fight guards, escape and save the Princess.

Super Win The Game Minor Key Games;IndieBox (Minor Key Games)2014Zelda II, Metroid, and Super Mario without swords or any weapons, epic music, extra lives, boss battles, life meter, destroyable enemies, cutting edge 8-bit graphics, or magic. What does it add for the things it lacks?

Optionally, it can be experienced in CRT mode. CRT mode is everything bad about playing on old style TVs. Fuzzy moire hexagonal screen pixels, color bleeding, curved screen distortion, invisible overscan and rounded off image corners, motion blur/phosphor burn, reflections on the CRT frame. Even rolling screen, RF interference, and static make an appearance. But it's nostalgic... I think this might well be the only Linux game that has "action safe" and "title safe" design (google it). CRT mode is also tunable to better match the old TV players used when they had no other choice. Personally, I found CRT mode to be worth 15 seconds of enjoyment, then I switched it off. But, that's just my personal preference. Turning off CRT mode does not result in 'modern' graphics. Without the CRT mode, this game is about gameplay only.

It also ads some sort of quasi-bonus, playable dream segments. Same gameplay but confusing transdimensional level design and dialog I cannot make any sense of. The author admits that the dream segments are about something deeply personal. With that, I expect few would understand. This is OK, the dream segments don't require the player do do anything except progress through them and the author hasn't decided to leave the gaming industry or threaten to (like some others have after their deeply personal game designing when uninterpreted).

All sorts of game mechanics make up the game. Double-jumping, wall clinging, wall jumping, invisible structures, switch-on platforms, etc... Each one needs to be earned. Each new ability opens more areas to explore and more places to discover when revisiting. And to make 100% completion, full expert use of each mechanic will be required.

There are no map spoilers. The in-game mapping falls somewhere between Metroid and Super Metroid. There is no in-game map item to reveal areas you've missed. Get out your oldskol grid paper and start making checklists if you want to do a 100% completion of the game. Once again, this seems a deliberate feature to invoke nostalgia.

Speedruns are also added to the mix. Complete with online leader boards.

Finally, death is instant, likley frequet, but not costly. Everything kills the player without HP, shield, or mercy. The player cannot eliminate enemies at all, only earn better methods to avoid them. In contrast, pretty much every door is a retry point.

In short, I you like(d) NES games, SWTG is for you. If you've never played NES games and are curious, SWTG is for you.
