Prince of Persia – The two thrones taught me a lot in the areas of patience and skill. It was perhaps the first game I actually felt I was growing on as a player. After much practice, my skill with the gamepad improved, I knew how to move, what to do. A marked improvement from the previous button-masher I was. Nowadays, I know that in order to extract the best juice from a game, I have to be patient. Of course, some games are just plain too hard, but i tend not to buy them.
Skill and patience, I was saying. Certain levels, such as the final boss and especially the fight against the Axe and Sword brothers, I repeated many, many times. Still, the game is so well done I never despaired, never actually got frustrated. I just knew it was a simple matter of playing until I got better.
What is, then, the game that has taught you most?
