This is the NES version of the first game in the popular Prince of Persia series. The hero must escape out of the palace dungeons in order to defeat Jaffar and save the princess from certain death.
eien86 saves 56.01 seconds over the previous run through the use of a special program that discovered new skips and optimized the run overall. A detailed list of improvements is in the submission notes.
We also have runs of the SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, and TurboGrafx-CD ports, as well as a run that just completes the SNES training levels.
WARNING: There are flashing lights upon getting the sword (at 0:52 in the encodes) which may cause epileptic seizures to those affected.
Watch this run being played back on a real console.
