Arinielle: Hmm.. I never did try the Prince of Persia games... what can y'all tell me about 'em?

LaPtiteBete: I tried the first "3D" one when it had been released (2003) and found it quite hard... involved speed and dexterity.
Was it an issue with controls or..?

So who all was waiting for a PoP bundle? It's an uncommon occurrence, so they should be informed.

Due to an oversight with my bills this month, I have been counting pennies to get by this week. Hopefully, GOG will repeat all of the bundles (as they are known to do) so I can snag that "Fantasy Quests" bundle after payday. I mean, $8 for 13 games? That's a great deal! It will also bring me ever closer to owning every point-and-click game on GOG. ^_^

LaPtiteBete: I'm not fond of Prince of Persia... (though I love the first one, I used to play it on Apple II :D)
I don't have the King's Quest series either... but I'm not sure I'd play those if I buy them, so... :-|
I have Quest of Glory from a previous sale, and still haven't run it (though it has incredibly good reviews)...
I feel a bit disappointed.

donsanderson: King's Quest 4-7 are great adventure games if that's your taste. Quest For Glory is fantastic, adventure with a bit of RPG thrown in. There are VGA remakes available for those games in this bundle that are still in 16 colors.
Thanks for this review...
I think I'll keep my money for this round.

Yes, as far as I can remember, there are many skills you must learn to use ; that takes some time before you can jump easily all over the walls, and go where you want to.

It is rare. It only shows itself at Christmas, or on special weekend promos when Sinistar wants the trilogy. ;-)

I don't think I worded it correctly. >.< I meant: Are the controls bad? Do they feel clunky and too difficult for what they should be?

What about the life system? What happens when you die? How are the fail states with the games?

Seeing this bundle makes me wish for the original ones from Broderbund.

LaPtiteBete: Prince of Persia !!!
A lot of people were waiting this one...
Indeed! :D Of course, I'm not sure on the 2008 one, but getting Warrior Within, Two Thrones, and reboot(?) is cheaper than WW and TT. 4 stars on the game page, maybe I'll buy it as a gift code and see if I'd want the reboot one in the future.

Sands of Time is actually my favourite from the new trilogy. Very worth the price, this bundle.

Oh that's nice, a Prince of Persia bundle. I'm only missing the 2008 version and it's only 2,49 $. Will take that this evening :)

This will be heresy to many, but I have no real interest in the Quests bundle.

I am lured by the siren's call of the PoP bundle, however. But I'd like too clarify, which of the games has had 'less than stellar reviews'?

By which I mean, The one that is a noxious pile of dung you require a 10 foot pole to handle.

Don't tell Sinistar, but I have never played any of the Prince of Persia games. I have seen them all, but I never played the first ones when they were originally released, or the current ones on GOG don't look like my kind of games.

Why wait for a repeat when you can check your PMs?

As far as I remember everything after Sands of Time weren't received too brilliantly...
