Anyone remember that game on the amiga called Prince of persia?

I want to use the technique they used to make 2d animated sprites. What would I need to look at and what software would I need?

I have PSP for editing and a webcam. I am not planning to spend money on extra software.

I tried using windows media encoder to capture video but I had trouble moving to individual frames in the media player. I also tried Virualdub but this does not show live picture and it can not load wmv.

So any suggestions/links/tips?
