First released in 1989, Jordan Mechner’s swashbuckling classic The Prince of Persia is now available on the App Store.
Called Prince of Persia Retro, the game puts you in the roll of the eponymous hero, who only has one hour to defeat the villainous vizier Jaffar and rescue the imprisoned princess to save the day.
The iPhone version costs $0.99, and if you’re the type who likes spamming your Facebook friends with pointless updates… it’ll do that for you too. Go grab it if you’ve got any love of the original: this is a great port, and it’s nice to see one of the best games for the Apple II restored for the iPhone.
