A good storyline? Whoahahaha! Save the princess, end of story! Besides the fact there is hardly a story, the game is (was) incredible. The prince moves very natural and smooth when running, jumping, climbing, fighting, well just all the time!

Back in those days I just finished my IT training and was doing a work-placement at my training centre. I had lots of spare time next to my assignment and I did spent it usefully, indeed, with gaming! Here I played and finished "Prince of Persia", "Kings Quest III", "Police Quest III", "Carmen Sandiego" and "Test Drive".

The levels are linear, the textures are pretty the same everywhere, up til you enter the palace, and all the guards look the same too. But this doesn't make the game less fun! No, not at all!

Within limited time you'll have to jump over gaps and traps, climb up platforms, find 'secret' spaces for potions, fight guards, yourself, defeat the vizier and reach the princess.

Then you can live happily ever after till "Prince of Persia II".
