Just reading "Prince of Persia" and in my head starts playing the oriental background music (by pc speaker! No sound card back then, at least for me).

Also, the steps, the gates and all other sound FXs.

Most people are/were fascinated by the fluid animations, but this game was perfect from every angle.

I actually rewired my internal PC speaker to a big external speaker just so that I could hear the music/sfx of the game in all its glory.

And that awesome intro animation too - never seen anything like it at the time, like simply seeing realistic human faces being drawn in a DOS game was just mind blowing.
