Grade yourself: Your skill in PoP 1 and 2

Post by mk1995 »

I think I asked that on PoPUW already (*sigh* I know... Copying all the stuff done on PoPUW won't get us anywhere), but I'll ask it again: How'd you grade your playing skill of the first two PoP games (for DOS)? Just in case you can't tell from the short description to each letter (but you should be able to): A is the best and F is the worst. Please be honest with your grading - don't claim you're a master at the games even though you can't even get past the first level.

To start with myself, I think I'd give me a rating of... C.
I haven't played PoP in a while, so I'm not sure if I could still apply to what I wrote for the grade B.

Now, on to you.

I give myself a B. I have way more difficulty when it comes to PoP2, though.

I give myself a C. But I do agree that PoP2 is way tougher.

I still have not mastered most tricks in the game, & so I'm not a good puzzle solver.
But I do prefer the sword fighting mechanics of the DOS PoP1 compared to PoP2.
But if you ask me about the SNES version, my sword fighting skills in there are still poor

Great topic!

Here are my honest PoP ratings as of recent:

Prince of Persia 1:
DOS = B
SNES = A
Genesis/Megadrive = C

Prince of Persia 2:
DOS = D (the flying demon heads have ruined my confidence)
SNES = B

D - I'm good but I die often because I'm reckless.

Really? I didn't know you were actually that bad.

But if you were, why don't I see that there's a vote on D...? Were you possibly kidding?

:P Yeah I was kinda kidding, but I do die often due to being reckless and I know advanced tricks. It's complicated.

According to the description, I selected C, but upon reading your comments, I think I would rather be in the D category, which is fine by me - I never had much interest in mastering this game, and I hardly ever play it any more. But I like it still because it brings back memories of the past.
