Blackthorne is a cinematic platformer developed by Blizzard Entertainment and published by Interplay in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and DOS-based PCs. It was converted by Paradox Development and brought to the Sega 32X the following year.

Blackthorne is a slow paced action platformer similar to Prince of Persia or Flashback, though as a greater emphasis on gun combat. Unlike the original versions, the 32X copy of the game utilises pre-rendered 3D computer graphics for its sprites and also updates the backgrounds. As well as this, it features more blood.
