Prince of Persia (プリンス・オブ・ペルシャ) is a cinematic platform game originally developed in 1989 by Brøderbund Software and designed by Jordan Mechner. The game saw many ports, including a version released for the PC-9801 VX in 1990, and a Super CD-ROM² version in 1991.

Story

The game is set in medieval Persia. While the good sultan is fighting a war in a foreign land, his vizier Jaffar, a wizard, seizes power. His only obstacle to the throne is the Sultan's daughter. Jaffar locks her in a tower and orders her to become his wife, or she would die within an hour. The game's unnamed protagonist, whom the Princess loves, is taken prisoner and thrown into the palace dungeons. In order to free her, he must escape the dungeons, get to the palace tower and defeat Jaffar before time runs out. In addition to guards, various traps and dungeons, the protagonist is further hindered by his own doppelgänger, conjured out of a magic mirror.
