Prince of Persia is a classic 2D platformer that became a legend. As a nameless prince, the player has 60 minutes to rescue the princess from the evil vizier Jaffar. The game combines precise jumping, sword combat, and logic-based puzzles in a dangerous palace full of deadly traps.
The incredibly smooth animations (achieved using the revolutionary rotoscoping technique), the tense time limit, and the lethal obstacles make Prince of Persia a game that still feels exciting and stylish today. While technically outdated, its gameplay still holds charm.
