Play Prince of Persia (Japan) Online

Prince of Persia on SNES is that classic side-scroller where you're constantly racing against the clock—literally. You've got an hour to rescue the princess, but between dodging spikes, avoiding guards, and making those pixel-perfect jumps, it feels way more intense than it sounds. The animation was mind-blowing for its time, and even now, there's something satisfying about how the prince moves, all fluid and weighty.

It's tough as nails, though. One wrong step and you're impaled or tossed into a pit. The sword fights are clunky by today's standards, but there's a weird charm to them—like you're actually dueling instead of button-mashing. And yeah, it spawned a whole franchise, but this one still has that raw, unforgiving vibe modern games rarely pull off. Just don't throw your controller when you miss a jump for the tenth time.
