Prince of Persia...

Okay while Prince of Persia was super cool for doing all the rotoscoping business, the game is... kinda weird if you don't practice/know what you're doing.
As seen below...

So the puzzles are all fine, but could never figure out the proper controls? Like... I felt pushed into a game almost? With faulty controls?? Like I would be like "alright prince man I just want you to jump on this ledge over here okay NO STOP WHY WOULD YOU JUST JUMP DOWN LIKE THAT I WAS HOLDING THE JUMP BUTTON" and etc.
So please enjoy me falling in the same spot for a good 3 minutes.
Also, there was a guy with a sword but I'm not sure how to fight him?? So I just ran away haha.
