Prince of Persia is a 2D platformer that is commonly regarded as a progenitor of the cinematic platform genre. Rather than following the more common jump-and-run mechanics, it focuses on careful advancement through fairly complex levels, emphasizing the protagonist's vulnerability and survival aspect. Rotoscoping technique is used to give more realism to the animation of the characters' movements.

This run by Challenger ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Challenger ), done on the TurboGrafx CD port of the game, defeats Jaffar in record time, by setting the speed to the fastest one available.
