Play Prince of Persia (Europe) (Beta) (Earlier) Online

Prince of Persia on the Sega Genesis is that classic platformer where you’re a nimble prince dodging traps, sword-fighting guards, and racing against a ticking clock to save the princess. The animation was mind-blowing for its time—still looks smooth today, honestly—and the controls are tight, though some jumps will make you sweat. It’s harder than you’d expect, especially with those instant-death spikes everywhere. The music’s sparse but tense, and the whole thing just oozes that old-school, one-more-try vibe. You can tell why this spawned a whole franchise.
