Stumbling through three Prince of Persia clones

As I alluded to in my last video, if you weren't around when Prince of Persia was released it's difficult to describe just how amazing it looked - as simple as it looks today, there had been nothing that looked that fluid and film-like before. In this video, I explore three attempts that other people made at making these games, and accidentally demonstrate just how hard Prince is to get feeling right - each of them quirk it up in different yet fairly similar ways.
