His way to the throne lies through the Sultan's lovely daughter. Jaffar kidnaps her and threatens to kill her if she refuses to marry him. Meanwhile, the man the Princess loves is thrown into the dungeon. He has only one hour to escape from his prison, defeat the guards on his way, and stop Jaffar before the terrible marriage takes place.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrince of Persia\u003c\/em\u003e is a 2D platformer that is commonly regarded as a progenitor of the cinematic platformer genre. Rather than following the more common jump-and-run mechanics, it focuses on careful advancement through fairly complex levels, emphasizing the protagonist's vulnerability and survival aspect. Rotoscoping technique is used to give more realism to the animation of the characters' movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe protagonist must avoid deadly traps, solve some simple jumping and environmental puzzles (such as stepping on pressure plates to raise portcullis), and engage in sword fights with the guards. The player character has an infinite amount of lives, but has to restart at the beginning of a level each time he dies, and must complete the game within an hour. The hero starts with three units of health, which can be replenished with small health potions or permanently increased with large jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Game Boy Color and SNES versions of the game feature additional levels and new enemies. The Genesis version has a new intro, an altered set of graphics and four new levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGame Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eClassic Game Gear gameplay with original physical presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eGenre: Action, Side view, Fixed \/ flip-screen, Platform, Puzzle elements, Direct control, Middle East, Regional differences\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eReleased in 1992 by Domark Software Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIdeal for collectors building a physical Game Gear library\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCondition and contents shown in listing details and photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e PRINCE-OF-PERSIA-GAME-GEAR-1992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Game Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Action, Side view, Fixed \/ flip-screen, Platform, Puzzle elements, Direct control, Middle East, Regional differences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePEGI Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e TBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domark Software Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Retromart","offers":[{"title":"Preloved","offer_id":53309508780375,"sku":"PL-24510","price":9.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/7870\/1143\/files\/0000__b505b21a8ce54a74bdf3421ab8330471.jpg?v=1776247784","url":"https:\/\/retromart.co.uk\/products\/prince-of-persia-game-gear-1992-be-fr-de-it-es-gb","provider":"Retromart.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
