Jaffar, the Grand Vizier, has set a curse on the girl you love, and it requires that you either marry him or pass away within the hour. The number of seconds she has left to live is displayed on a massive hourglass. It would appear that all hope is lost now that you, the Prince of Persia, have been cast into the underground dungeons. Find your sword, vanquish the nefarious guards Jaffar has stationed, and rescue your girlfriend from a fate worse than death.
An improved version of Jordan Mechner’s first Prince of Persia video game has been released under Prince of Persia Classic. The graphic style has been enhanced to be similar to that of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and the Prince himself has earned some more moves, such as the ability to roll, backflip, wall jump, and temporarily pause time while engaging in combat. Despite this, the gameplay is fundamentally identical to the first version; your objective is to defeat Jaffar in under an hour while avoiding the numerous traps and defeating the guards you encounter.
