Is there any purpose in the “inverting” potion?

Question

In the classic Prince of Persia (1989), at level 9, there is a green potion that inverts the screen, making it harder to control the Prince.
Does it have any purpose other than increasing the difficulty on your first playthrough?

Asked by Kappei

Answer

No. As per Eizaz Azhar's FAQ:

{~ Reversal Potion~}

Turns the whole screen upside down. Controls remain the same, it's only the point of view that changes - turn your monitor upside down to get what I mean. Also comes in a vase like a Life Extension Potion. To differentiate between these, again, look at the bubbles. LEPs have RED bubbles, and other potions in vases have GREEN. To set the screen back, you have to find and drink another Reversal Potion.

First appearance : Level 9

Found in : Level 9

Classification : Joke

It serves no purpose other than to be fun/annoying/challenging. You can just turn your head/monitor and play upside down so it isn't even all that big a deal.

Is there a specific order for completing the Moon Phase rooms in the penultimate level?

Question

In Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on the DS, the penultimate level includes a set of 5 Moon Phase rooms. Is there a specific order in which these rooms have to be completed to allow the player to continue?

Answer

There is indeed a 'right' order for these rooms. If you enter a room in the right order, you'll just get teleported back to the corridor. If you enter a room in the wrong order, you have to get through the room and start the sequence again.

The right sequence is:

• D-shaped half moon
• C-shaped crescent
• Opposite crescent
• Opposite half moon
• Full moon

Which is the easiest game in Prince of Persia series?

Question

At present, I am playing Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. After 69% completion, I find that it is way too difficult, even though I use cheats(meaning infinite sand, infinite power, and infinite walking on walls). It seems impossible for me to go ahead.

Please suggest to me the easiest game in the POP series.

Answer

I am currently enjoying playing the 2008 Prince of Persia game on the Xbox 360 (but its also available on PS3 and PC).

It is relatively easy so far and quite a few reviews for the game suggest this too
