His first memories date back to the very beginning of the 1990s. “I was still a student and I had bought a Macintosh LC II computer to work on but on which I also spent hours playing,” recalls Frédéric, a Parisian father aged 53 years. My keyboard and mouse suffered so much I was tapping on them to jump and avoid the traps in Prince of Persia! » A little over thirty years later, Frédéric could, if he was equipped, immerse himself again in 2024 in this oriental universe which he liked so much. The video game of his youth is still rampant and a new episode, “The Lost Crown”, has just been released this Thursday.
