'''''Prince of Persia''''' is one of the most famous DOS action-adventure games.
+
'''''Prince of Persia''''' is an action-adventure game with strong puzzle elements.  
  
 
The story of this takes place in Persia somewhen in the Middle Ages. The old sultan had a daughter, which were beautiful for the sultan's grand vizier, Jaffar. But the princess loved only one man - nameless Prince, who is the main game character. One day Jaffar captured the throne with his magic. The Prince was imprisoned in the dungeons, and Jaffar put the princess for a choice - to marry him, or to die. And gave her only one real hour to choose. One hour - it's the time you had to unchain yourself to run off the jail and save her. Or game will be over.

Victor Pelevin even write a book "Принц Госплана" ("Prince of Central Planning"), inspired by this game. Very rare example of the really great novel inspired by the game.
+
The interesting feature of this game is the usage of rotoscopy for some game sprites (e.g. for Prince Jordan Mechner used his younger brother). This idea was also used in the game [[Another World (DOS)]], coming 2 years later.

Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia - DOS - USA.jpg
Platform: DOS
Year: 1990
Developer: Brøderbund Software, Inc.
This page is for DOS release. For other games in the series see Prince of Persia.

Prince of Persia is an action-adventure game with strong puzzle elements.

The story of this takes place in Persia somewhen in the Middle Ages. The old sultan had a daughter, which were beautiful for the sultan's grand vizier, Jaffar. But the princess loved only one man - nameless Prince, who is the main game character. One day Jaffar captured the throne with his magic. The Prince was imprisoned in the dungeons, and Jaffar put the princess for a choice - to marry him, or to die. And gave her only one real hour to choose. One hour - it's the time you had to unchain yourself to run off the jail and save her. Or game will be over.

The interesting feature of this game is the usage of rotoscopy for some game sprites (e.g. for Prince Jordan Mechner used his younger brother). This idea was also used in the game Another World (DOS), coming 2 years later.
