An interesting revelation. While some games will only accept a START button press, many other games aren't as strict.
GOG.com

A digital distribution platform that focuses on providing DRM-free computer games, both old and new.
Guest Costume

When a developer begs and pleads and offers to do laundry for even a tiny guest appearance, sometimes those famous characters will still flake on them. At least they still have their laundry.

Havok Physics (Havok) is a physics API developed by Irish company Havok and released in 2000. It is used in video games as a physics engine, allowing for realistic interactions between in-game entities.
Light Bloom

A graphical effect used in video games where an object blocks light and around the edges of the object the light is significantly brighter than normal.
Prince

Son of a monarch.

Giant Bomb Review

Stunning presentation and an engaging open-world reprisal of the series' trademark platforming action make this newly reimagined Prince of Persia easy to recommend.
