The Prince of Persia

The Prince of Persia in persian is an action-adventure video game series. Through the various titles, the series has had a variety of different developers and publishers. Although originally a side-scrolling platforming game, the series evolved into an action-adventure 3D environment.

The game is set in Ancient Persia. As a child, Jordan Mechner had enjoyed the tales from the The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, and the settings for this game are changed to Persia. The Prince is an orphan, living of the streets of Persia. One day, he scales the palace walls to catch a glimpse of the Princess, whose beauty is like "moonrise in the heavens". His feelings are reciprocated by the Princess as well, commoner though he is.

The game starts with the Sultan of Persia being called away for a war in a foreign land. Sensing opportunity, the evil Vizier Jaffar seizes the throne for himself. The Prince is imprisoned, since Jaffar has designs on the Princess. The Princess is also imprisoned and is given an hour to decide: she would have to either marry Jaffar or else, die. The Prince therefore has 60 minutes to complete the game by saving the Princess and killing Jaffar.

The twist is that the game is played in real time, so the Prince must quickly complete the quest without breaks. On some platforms it is possible to save the game at the start of each level, though the time limit still applies. The only way to lose the game is by letting the time expire. If the Prince is killed, the game will restart from the beginning of the level, or in some levels, at a mid-way checkpoint.

Принц Персии

Prince of Persia (русск. Принц Персии) — компьютерная игра, созданная Джорданом Мехнером (Jordan Mechner) и давшая начало серии игр Prince of Persia.

Выпущена в 1989 году Broderbund Software для Apple II. Позже портирована на множество других платформ.

Помимо большого количества «безликих» стражей, в игре Принц Персии есть четверо уникальных: скелет в конце 3 уровня (c которым лучше не драться); умелый воин в конце 6 уровня; воин в начале 8 уровня с прекрасной реакцией, предпочитающий оборонительную тактику; сам Джаффар в конце 12 уровня. С собственным призраком драться на мечах не нужно, вместо этого необходимо соединиться с ним опять.

Рекорд по прохождению Prince of Persia для PC 14:17.
По замыслу Мехнера, Sands of Time должна быть продолжением Prince of Persia. Но Ubisoft утверждает, что Принц из Sands of Time никак не связан с оригинальным Принцем.
