* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: Defeating a [[Mook]] or drinking a potion gives a nice, satisfying sound. Same for leaving for the next level.
* [[Narm Charm]]: The opening movie in the Sega CD version is this, mostly thanks to Jaffar's voice sounding really good, contrary to the Princess and the Prince. Especially the Prince.
* [[Polished Port]]: The [[SNES]] versionand ofPC-98 theversions originalare game.graphically Needlessimproved toand say,have thiswonderful portmusic. wasThe bySNES a completely different developer from the one who did theversion porteven ofadds itsmore sequellevels.
* [[Porting Disaster]]: ''Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame'' on the SNES. as one comment on a YouTube video put it:
{{quote|This isn't [[Obvious Beta|a game with bugs, this is a giant bug with bits of game]].}}
** Fun fact: Thethe game was made by [[Titus Software]], who would later go on to make [[Sarcasm Mode|classics]] like ''[[Superman 64]]'' and ''[[Carmageddon]] [[Porting Disaster|64]]''.
* [[That One Boss]]:
* [[That One Boss]]:* Well, he's not really a boss, but the first guard in level 8 is tougher than other guards, since he always waits for the Prince to close in, forcing the player to expose themselves first.
** The Shiva boss in the SNES version also counts. All your swordplay skills are meaningless here. You have to dodge unblockable falling rocks while approaching the boss, and he likes to jump around. Woe betide you if you have been speeding through the game by not collecting the life extension potions, figuring your parry skill will carry you through the game.

And after that, Jaffar will seriously test your knowledge of the combat system. If you haven't figured out the delayed strike trick above, you will NEVER beat him.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: ''[[Video Game Remake|Prince of Persia Classic]]'' replaced the [[Fat Bastard|fat guard]] in level 6 with an ogre-like creature. Fans were NOT pleased.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: The game got a lot of acclaim for its incredibly smooth animation, even more impressive on the Apple IIe.
