The Prince of Persia

Hello peoples. Today I'm writing about The Prince of Persia. Here it goes.

So on my 9th birthday my parents got me a videogame for my Nintendo DS. The game was called The Prince of Persia: The Fallen King.


I absolutely loved the game and played it through at least 3 times, it was probably the game that got me interested in videogames in the first place. Then in 2010 they announced that they would do a movie called Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.


My dad showed me the trailer and I was very excited but still a little disappointed that the prince looked nothing like the prince of Persia in my videogame. My 10 year old brain filled with limitless wisdom jumped to the conclusion that they thought my prince wasn't cool enough and substituted my prince for this bozo. So I went and saw the movie and I still loved it even though the story was also completely different.

A few days ago I started thinking about that videogame again and how much I loved it so I looked up prince of Persia in Google and got on the wiki. To my complete surprise I learned that The Prince of Persia is a game series that started way back in 1989. The prince that I had always known and loved belonged to the third and most recent reincarnation of the series and the prince in the 2010 movie belonged to the second and longest lasting reincarnation of the series.

2nd


And 3rd reincarnation of the series, the prince that was such a big part of my childhood.

So I read through the plots of every game 10 in total. After I had read through the plots of all 10 games spanning across three universes I had an idea. Currently at school I had nothing to do during my free time so I started a project that would link together all 3 universes culminating in a completely fictional 4th reincarnation of the series with all 3 princes in it. It was hard at first to connect all 3 universes but I kept trying and pretty soon puzzle pieces started to fit together very nicely without having to change any plot lines in the games that already existed and or assume to much. Currently I am writing the plots for the next 3 or 4 games.

I highly recommend the Prince of Persia series, remakes of the very first two games are available on smart phones and tablets and all of the other games are available on the playstation store as well as for Xbox. Bye.
