So, Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame—yeah, the Genesis version that never actually made it to store shelves. This is the prototype ROM, which means it’s rough, unfinished, and kinda fascinating if you’re into lost gaming relics.

You’ve got the same acrobatic swordplay and trap-dodging as the original, but with that classic Genesis color palette and chunky sprites. Some animations feel stiff compared to the SNES or DOS versions, and there are definitely quirks—like weird collision detection or missing sound effects. But hey, it’s a glimpse of what could’ve been.

If you’re a hardcore PoP fan or just love digging into unreleased games, this is a weird little time capsule. Just don’t expect a polished experience.
