Prince of Persia (プリンス・オブ・ペルシャ) is a platform game created by Jordan Mechner for the Apple II computer. It has been ported to loads of platforms over the years, including the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Mega CD, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear. All the Sega ports, bar the Mega CD version were handled by Domark
The game's story is simple. The Grand Vizier Jaffar has thrown you into a dungeon and is forcing the princess of Persia to marry him within the hour. You must escape the dungeon, defeat Jaffar and rescue the princess to become the prince of Persia. The game was revolutionary at the time due to the quality of the animation, and is now considered a classic among gamers. It has also inspired several sequels, starting with Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, and a feature length movie.
Oddly the Mega CD version of the game features simpler graphics than its Mega Drive counterpart, though it does offer a CD audio soundtrack.
