K, thanks man 

Prince of Persia game pack for 16 €, Forgotten Sands for 10 € today.

$15 for all five in North America.

Having never played a PoP game (didn't even know they'd been released on PC), this is very tempting. Does anyone know if they play well on PC?

It seems that all of them support the Xbox 360 controller and apparently any gamepad with dual analogs. So it can't control any worse than the console versions I guess...

Excellent. I almost always prefer KB/M to a gamepad but I was unsure how platforming would play out.

Thanks.

It sucks dick. Use a gamepad for anything platform-like.

I did finish Mario 64 with keyboard only :D But the fact that it's an amazing game helps, of course. It's also a different kind of platforming than the Prince of Persia games, I guess.

My biggest complaint has always been the fact  I can't make a precise enough movement with the directional key. It infuriates me when I am near a ledge and I need to face a different direction, say 45 degrees to my left,  that isn't at a 90 degree to me. I played the original sands of time, and it really was not that bad either, but I played it on my Gamecube a bit later and it was a big improvement.

Basically, playing platformers on a keyboard is like playing Shooters with dual analogs. It sucks big dick, but it can be shoehorned to "passable" levels.
