About This Game

Jordan Mechner’s original Prince of Persia set a new standard for character animation when it debuted in 1989. Rotoscoped movement gives every jump, climb and sword strike a lifelike weight as the hero races through palace dungeons to rescue the princess from the vizier Jaffar.

The adventure is built around careful timing rather than constant speed. Players must read the environment, avoid floor spikes and collapsing tiles, defeat guards and discover the safest route before the one-hour limit expires. Its cinematic presentation influenced generations of platform and action-adventure games.
