GAMES: From 'Prince of Persia' to 'RiME'
Couldn't help noticing the distance video games have crossed in the last 20/30 years.
However, it's not just about distance, but the nature of the gameplay. What makes a video game truly great, within the limitations of its technological time? I guess it just manages to tick all the boxes. The 15 minute rule for instant captivation that then... engrosses. Let me illustrate.
This is a screenshot from 'Prince of Persia', by the legendary Jordan Mechner.
You can still play the game classic HERE. You play with the arrow keys on a PC. To hang on to a ledge you hold Shift.
Moving forwards, here is one of my recent captures from 'RiME' on PS4. Enjoy!
Both games are great for feeding to your kids (above 5 years old+ at least), and you'll be sharing their excitement, wonder and exhilaration. The power of games.

LOL, I remember playing game on my 386 back in the day for hours, or was the 286? Damn that's old....sad
This game was awesome, I used to love finding the potions with 3 dots. Thank you for this post. I have to go check out the game again.
i don't think it's sad! we appreciate technology more than others do! Glad you got to appreciate the game as much as I did. Games are not as hard nowadays, as they used to be!
