Intro

Evil plans

I doubt women are allowed to wear such clothes in Persia...

Jaffar with his indiscreet proposal toward the princess

You are thrown into a dungeon

The outfit of the hero is quite different from the one in DOS version

Can't we talk it over?

The door leads to the next level

One of the many ways to die in this game

Some grog won't do damage... or was it just a healing potion?

A pivotal part of Prince of Persia where you crash through a mirror and release a malevolent reflection

Dealing with 2 chompers whilst your reflection steals your potion

Battling against the backdrop of a starry night

Our hero finds himself back in the dungeon; in this segment, he drinks a potion which makes him float gently down during a fall that would normally kill him

The mouse on the far ledge helps out by pressing the switch stone

This may look like the dungeon, but it actually has windows

Title screen

The story cuts between regular static screens...

... and awful (to say the least) anime-styled screens, everything with voice overs every bit as terrible

The prince preparing to do his "constipated tiger" move on the prison bars

The dramatic hourglass scene

Game mode screen.

Graphics are midway between the 8 and 16 bit versions.

Pretty like Master System...

Prince getting his sword, hoping it will serve him better than it did to his last owner

"Is that a good or a bad potion?", the Prince wonders, looking at the fumes

A fight

If the fight was too fast for you, it's possible to slow down fights and how fast the prince moves.

The beginning

A guard is about to shish kabob me

I died

I must reach that potion

Looks like I have taken a wrong step

Fighting a guard

Falling down

Hey, that's me!

I've jumped through the mirror

A very large hall

Confronting with a skeleton

That trap looks dangerous!

A tutorial level

Fighting a guard in a palace level.

A duel with an Amazon guard.

Sometimes there are brief outdoor areas, like this nice moonlit bridge that connects two palace towers.

This guard is excellent at fencing.

The Prince's shadow blocks the way.

In the SNES version, the Prince finds himself in some kind of an underworld after the encounter with the shadow.

The underworld levels have appropriately styled flame traps.

The halls of the palace are exquisitely decorated.

The Princess' mouse comes to the rescue.

This is not a door to the next level, it's a teleporter...

...that will take you to an otherwise unreachable part of the level.

Another part of the palace, another style of decoration. The red carpet doesn't exactly mask the spike traps here.

These heavily armoured guards are either high-ranking officers or some sort of Jaffar's personal elite guard.

The famous time limit...

Hey, wait! I don't have a sword yet!

Typical situation: the Prince is dead
