The interesting discussions here about Prince of Persia and the sequel made me want to replay the second game, as I was a bit surprised by some of the negative reception.
In the process, I’ve decided to finally record a video walkthrough of the game, and having started this, I went ahead and researched every aspect of the game I could find, including subtle version differences.
You can read the write-up here, with embedded videos:

I hope the videos can convey the grace of the game and show the path-of-least-resistance approach to some of the trickier puzzles.
P.S. I realize this is late, as the club has moved on to the next game, but I only now finished bringing the walkthrough to a state I’m happy with. 😉
