PRINCE POPPYCOCK

The graphics are a significant upgrade from the Prince of Persia that was on the Apple computer, but they are not amazing. Players will experience the game on a two dimensional environment (ala Castlevania). You will encounter a myriad of trapped doors, hazardous spikes, and deadly blades. Jumping from platform to platform makes up a great deal of the gameplay (too much for my taste)


Our New York City of the Mind series continues at Newcritics, with the romance of Desperately Seeking Susan. Come over tonight at 9 pm Eastern time and wallow in the 80s, those halcyon days when Danceteria was still open, the East Village was affordable and raffish, and Madonna showed promise as an actress. Feel free to debate those last two points, and indeed whether this movie should be included at all. Bustiers encouraged but not required.
