Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame is the sequel to the 1989 game Prince of Persia. It was released for DOS in 1993, with ports to Apple Macintosh in 1994 and the Super Nintendo in 1995. The sequel is more action-based than the original, with less emphasis on dungeon mazes and puzzle solving.
A port to the Sega Mega Drive was planned for a 1996 release, but ultimately cancelled. Development of this port was handled by Microïds, and the game was to be published by Psygnosis. A prototype was dumped and released on 11 August 2006 by drx of Hidden-Palace.org, which dates back to 20 February 1995. [1] Though more graphically accurate to the DOS original than the SNES port, it has poorer sound quality and various bugs. There is also less time to complete the game (75 minutes) and the HUD uses different colours.
