we live as we dream. Alone.
The prince of persia
The evil Jaffar has thrown you into a dark dungeon and plans to marry the girl of your dreams within the hour!
Now thats simply not on is it?
You have one hour to escape from the dungeon, take out Jaffar's guards, find your way through the Sultan's palace and defeat Jaffar himself in this fantastic plat former on the Amiga.
Prince of Persia is a platformer with run and jump gameplay. Your hero must avoid deadly traps, solve some simple puzzles and engage in sword fights with the guards. The player has an infinite amount of lives, but has to restart at the beginning of a level each time he dies, and must complete the game within an hour.At the centre of the game is the fluid animation of your character, sparse but detailed graphics and minimal sounds that will stay with you forever!
This is another of the big blockbuster games on the Amiga. A platform game thats simple but perfectly done. This is the beginning of the next level of platform games. The C64 had Karateka (also by the same author) which defined animation on the C64 but this is the next level.Only flashback would better this but that was released later than prince.
version of prince where surprisingly similar on the PC/amiga , the sega megadrive was much improved and as of 2011 Prince has been developed for the C64.
