The Thousand Savegames and a Savegame
I picked up Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for the PS2 this weekend, and it lives up to the hype. The plot of the game begs a question, though: In all of Middle Eastern literature, has there ever been such a creature as a good vizier?
Maybe it's the "Z" in the middle of the word -- just makes you wicked or something.
Both Zorro and I resent your implication that Z is in some way a wicked letter.
As for the evil of vizier's in literature, not being especially fluent in any of the literatures of the various nations that would generally have them in their stories, I can only say that I don't think there has been a particularly good portrayal of a vizier. They are to their tradition what eunuchs are to China.
