Game Overview

Prince of Persia on the NES is one of those games that feels way ahead of its time. You start off as this scrappy prince trapped in a dungeon, and the first thing you notice is how fluid the animations are—like, the way he stumbles when he stops running or grabs onto ledges with actual weight. It’s all swords, traps, and sneaky jumps, with this weirdly satisfying clunkiness to the controls that makes every leap feel risky.

Oh, and the time limit? Brutal. You’ve got an hour to escape, but between dodging guards and figuring out which floors are secretly fake, it never feels like enough. The Persian palace aesthetic is simple but moody, with these shadowy corridors that make you second-guess every step. Honestly, it’s impressive how much tension they packed into an 8-bit game.

Fun fact: The rotoscoped animations were done by filming the creator’s brother running and jumping in real life. You can totally tell—it moves like nothing else from that era.
