Prince of Persia

Middle Eastern heir

Prince of Persia is a video game franchise that began in 1989, known for fluid animation and acrobatic platforming through Middle Eastern-inspired settings.

The original game pioneered rotoscoped character movement, influencing action games for decades.

The series includes several reboots and a 2010 film adaptation.

I spent hours on Prince of Persia as a kid.
