The Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color and GameCube versions are also classic versions of the original game, but they lack many new levels, like what's present in the PC port. The PlayStation version is a slightly different version of the original game, which has new features, namely the player can now control the Behemoth, and the level select menu has been replaced by a main menu with a level select option.
The Prince of Persia series has a number of playable characters, including the eponymous Prince of Persia and three other companions with the original game. There are two characters with The Two Thrones expansion: Prince Olimar and Princess Badr, a.k.a. Olimar's little sister. And there are three new characters: Prince Aras, Princess Aya and Prince Gawain. The PC version of Prince of Persia is based upon the original Apple II version, and includes all three new characters from The Two Thrones.
Development
The developers of The Two Thrones, Pacific Coast Computer Corporation, described their version as a version for "newcomers to the Prince of Persia series". They also described it as being "true to the origins of the original PC version". The game was a remake of Prince of Persia, and was inspired by the success of the original game.
In an interview with Topless Robot, the developers stated that they had decided to create a remake for the original Prince of Persia, because they had heard many people asking "If they make a remake of this game, will they make a remake of the first one?" They had created it because they liked the idea of a classic game that could be ported to different platforms (consoles, tablets and smartphones) with minimal changes. They said that they had received many requests to create a remake of The Two Thrones on platforms other than the SNES, but had not taken the time to do so.
Gameplay
The Two Thrones is a remake of the classic game, Prince of Persia. However, the gameplay in this version is very different from that of the original. The remake does not have many new features, including a new set of enemies, but it has some new moves. For example, the player can now jump on the head of an enemy Behemoth to attack and destroy it. The "attacks" performed by the Behemoth have been replaced by physical attacks performed by the player. The Behemoth itself also has a different set of attacks, and the game contains a minigame called "Breath of the God"
