Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame

Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame is a platform game released by Brøderbund in 1994.
From a gameplay viewpoint, it is strongly similar to the first Prince of Persia. The character explorers various deadly areas by running, jumping, crawling, avoiding traps, solving puzzles and collecting magic potions. The amount of combat is increased (while the first game occasionally had one enemy in a screen, the record for the second is twenty in one screen) though the need for thought is not neglected. The trick is still in completing the game under a strict time limit that's in real time, not game time. Lives are unlimited but time cannot be regained.
In other areas, more significant improvements have been made. The graphics are far more complex than the simple look of the game's predecessor, the areas explored are larger, and as perhaps the most welcomed addition, the player can now save and load a game.
