Game Overview

Prince of Persia on the NES came out in 1992, published by Brøderbund. It was one of those games that stood out on the system for its realistic animation and methodical pacing, a contrast to the faster platformers and action titles that were common at the time.

You control the prince, navigating a labyrinthine dungeon screen by screen. Your goal is to rescue the princess within a strict 60-minute time limit. The gameplay is built on precise, weighty jumps over spike pits and bottomless chasms, along with tense one-on-one sword fights where timing your thrusts and parries is everything. The difficulty is punishing; a single mistake often sends you back to the start of a room or worse. It feels deliberate and tense, a constant test of patience and precision.
