But at least the old games didn’t require you to randomly run around brick hallways until you find what you’re looking for, which gets especially annoying given the total infrequency of save points. Somehow, the developers actually succeeded in taking the problematic aspects of the previous games and making them even more annoying. So someone at Red Orb Entertainment, a former division of Brøderbund, decided to bring the series into the third dimension, and failed miserably at it. Only when Tomb Raider came out in 1996, everyone made the keen observation that it felt just like Prince of Persia, but in 3D. Doom came out and first person shooters became the next big thing, sweeping 2D platformers for the PC under the Persian rug. It’ll be a milestone in computer gaming, a classic, a megahit. Yes, Prince 3 – I know I’m getting close to wrapping something up when I find myself thinking about the sequel. Spent the day studying Spanish verbs and working up a Prince 3 storyline. Before the second game was finished, he had cooked up plans for a third and a fourth one: When Prince of Persia finally became the hit Mechner had hoped for, his plans for the series became quite lofty.
