Classic PC Games you Should Play - Prince of Persia (1989)

Prince of Persia is a platformer with gate,potion and deadly spike puzzles as-well-as some basic combat elements. The game was released back in 1989 and the main objective was (surprise, surprise) recue the hero's love interest/princess from an evil guy that captured her. I do remember a countdown timer on the screen although I never figured out what purpose it served since I was always dying and giving up many ticks before the final one.

Why it's great

  • It gave you a sense of being in a dungeon not knowing what exacly is happening, just like the protagonist
  • Although simple it was giving you an adrenaline rush with the gates closing down slowly and the countdown timer mentioned before
  • The protagonist's doppelganger that was always making the hair on back stand up 


Where you Can Get it

Good luck with that, oh this one is free and plays in a similar way
