Non-Sega versions

Prince of Persia is a cinematic platform game developed and published by Domark. The Sega Master System version was released in Europe in August 1992. It would later be ported to the Sega Game Gear the following month, and to the Sega Mega Drive in January 1994, with both ports being handled by original developer Domark. The game is a port of the 1989 Brøderbund Software game Prince of Persia.

Story

Prince of Persia MD, Introduction, Princess.png

Introduction

The game is set in medieval Persia. While the good sultan is fighting a war in a foreign land, his vizier Jaffar, a wizard, seizes power. His only obstacle to the throne is the Sultan's daughter. Jaffar locks her in a tower and orders her to become his wife, or she would die within an hour. The game's unnamed protagonist, whom the Princess loves, is taken prisoner and thrown into the palace dungeons. In order to free her, he must escape the dungeons, get to the palace tower and defeat Jaffar before time runs out. In addition to guards, various traps and dungeons, the protagonist is further hindered by his own doppelgänger, conjured out of a magic mirror.

Gameplay

Mega Drive version

The game is a cinematic platformer, distinguished by the fluid, lifelike movements and relatively realistic physical limitations of its protagonist, the eponymous prince. Levels are composed of multiple screens with no scrolling in which the prince can move both horizontally and vertically. Gameplay requires problem solving and trial and error to overcome each obstacle. The objective is to lead the prince out of the dungeons and into a tower before time runs out. To do this, the prince must bypass many traps and fight hostile swordsmen. The player has 60 minutes (in real time) to complete the game. In each level, the prince must find the door that leads to the next level and figure out how to open it.

The prince walks or turns around with Left or Right. He can tiptoe to step more carefully or position himself more precisely by holding A while moving. He can tiptoe safely through spike traps. He crouches with Down and jumps directly upward with Up. If there is a ledge near him, he grabs it automatically when jumping. If the ledge is below him, he can hang off of it by holding Down when facing away from it. He leaps across a wide area by holding B while pressing Left or Right, which can be used to traverse gaps. The player must press B a couple of steps before the edge to make the leap without running off the platform. He can grab ledges that he leaps onto from a running start by holding A. He picks up items with A and enters doorways with Up.

The prince finds a scimitar in the dungeon, which he pulls out automatically when he encounters a swordsman. The player can manually retract his sword with Down and pull it back out with A. While fighting, the prince attacks with A and parries enemy attacks with B. The health points of enemy swordsmen are depicted by blue triangles. They lose a health point when they are attacked and die when they lose all of their health or if they are pushed into traps. The prince cannot proceed past a swordsman until he is defeated. If a swordsman parries an attack, he is knocked back slightly, which can be used to push enemies off a ledge or into a trap (but an enemy swordsman can likewise do the same to the prince).

The prince has his health points indicated by red triangles, initially three. Each time he is damaged (being cut by a sword, falling from farther than one floor, or being hit by falling debris), he loses a health point. The prince can find potions in the dungeon that restore or cost health. There are also special potions that permanently increase his maximum health. The prince dies if he loses all of his health points, restarting from the beginning of the current level. The prince is killed instantly by some traps (spike traps and guillotines), by high falls, and by being attacked by a swordsman without his weapon out. While the prince has unlimited lives, the time limit continues to tick down for failed attempts, so the player eventually runs out of time to save the princess if not successful. The time remaining is always shown at the bottom of the screen during gameplay.

Some floor tiles act as switches and open or close gates or toggle traps. Standing on the tile activates the switch. Some ceiling tiles are loose and can be knocked down by jumping at them.

The player can open a menu by pausing the game with  START  to restart the level, but this does not gain any time back. The game uses passwords for continuing.

 Potion
Most potions heal the prince and restore one of his health points, but some potions poison the prince and cost a health point instead. Other potions permanently gives the prince another health point. The European version of the game has potions that give the player more time to complete the game.

Master System and Game Gear version

The 8-bit versions play similarly to the other versions of the game and feature the same levels (albeit with some changes in layout). The player has 60 minutes (in real time) to complete the game (but this can be changed to 15 or 30 minutes in the options before starting the game). In each level, the prince must find the door that leads to the next level and figure out how to open it.

The prince walks or turns around with Left or Right. He can tiptoe to step more carefully or position himself more precisely by holding 1 while moving. He can tiptoe safely through spike traps. He crouches with Down and jumps directly upward with Up. If there is a ledge near him, he grabs it automatically when jumping. If the ledge is below him, he can hang off of it by holding Down when facing away from it. He leaps across a wide area by holding 2 while pressing Left or Right, which can be used to traverse gaps. The player must press 2 a couple of steps before the edge to make the leap without running off the platform. He can grab ledges that he leaps onto from a running start by holding 1. He picks up items with Down and enters doorways with Up.

The prince finds a scimitar in the dungeon, which he pulls out automatically when he encounters a swordsman. The player can manually retract his sword with Down and pull it back out with 1. While fighting, the prince attacks with 1 and parries enemy attacks with 2. The health points of enemy swordsmen are depicted by red triangles in the top-right corner of the screen. The health points of the prince are depicted by red triangles in the top-left corner of the screen, initially three (though this can be changed to one or two in the options before starting the game). He loses a single health point when cut by an enemy swordsman, but he is killed instantly by traps, high falls, or being attacked by a swordsman without having his weapon out.

While the prince has unlimited lives, the time limit continues to tick down for failed attempts, so the player eventually runs out of time to save the princess if not successful. The time remaining is shown at the start of each level or after losing a life. The game uses passwords for continuing.

History

Legacy

The game was revolutionary at the time due to the quality of the animation, and is now considered a classic among gamers. It has also inspired several sequels, starting with Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, and a feature length movie.

Versions

While all four versions of the game stem from the same source (Jordan Mechner's Apple II version, published by Brøderbund Software in 1989), each of the Sega versions were handled by different teams and arrived at different periods between 1992 and 1994. The original game was written in 6502 assembly language for the Apple II, meaning almost every version of the game had to be rewritten for the differing hardware.

Despite having already appeared on the Mega-CD, the Mega Drive is completely different, with more detailed graphics and a different introduction sequence. Domark's Richard Walker rewrote the game in 68000 assembly for the Mega Drive, using a version of the source code written in C as a base[14] and the enhanced graphics of the Macintosh version. The levels were rebuilt by eye by playing the IBM PC version of the game. The North American version has no music during the levels, but the later European version adds an in-game score. The European version also has an additional animation of the prince falling down the stairs into the dungeon before the first level, four additional levels created by Jim Blackler[14], and time-extending potions to accommodate the additional length.

The Game Gear version of the game runs in the system's Master System compatibility mode,[15] so the two versions are largely identical. Together with the Mega Drive version, they were developed as contract work for Domark.
