Prince of Persia

Online version of Prince of Persia for SEGA Genesis. An action platformer with swordplay, designed, programmed and drawn by Jordan Mechner and published for the Apple II by Brøderbund in 1989. The hero, an adventurer from a foreign land, escapes the Sultan's dungeons and fights through 12 levels of traps and guards to reach the Princess, whom the Grand Vizier Jaffar has given an hour to choose between marriage and death. That hour runs in real time. Mechner traced the Prince's moves from video of his brother David and the fencing from the 1938 Robin Hood film, and the animation had no equal in its day...

SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive

Online emulated version of Prince of Persia was originally developed for the Sega Genesis known as the Mega Drive outside North America. It was a 16-bit fourth-generation home video game console developed and sold by Sega. The Genesis is Sega's third console and the successor to the Master System. Sega released it as the Mega Drive in Japan in 1988, and later as the Genesis in North America in 1989. In 1990, it was distributed as the Mega Drive by Virgin Mastertronic in Europe.
Designed by an R&D team supervised by Hideki Sato and Masami Ishikawa, the Genesis was adapted from Sega's System 16 arcade board, centered on a Motorola 68000 processor as the CPU, a Zilog Z80 as a sound controller, and a video system supporting hardware sprites, tiles, and scrolling. It plays a library of more than 900 games created by Sega and a wide array of third-party publishers delivered on ROM-based cartridges. Several add-ons were released, including a Power Base Converter to play Master System games. It was released in several different versions, some created by third parties.

Contributing to its success were its library of arcade game ports, the popularity of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series, several popular sports franchises, and aggressive youth marketing that positioned it as the cool console for adolescents. 30.75 million first-party Genesis units were sold worldwide.
