Prince of Persia is a game that needs no introduction.
A brilliant game ported to almost every system in the
known universe (the Palm Pilot version is coming, you
just know it is), it took the platform game and made sense
of the genre.
The game has no silly patterns to memorize and the control
is so precise that it was always the fault of bad playing,
not bad programming, when you screwed up. A cinematic
game with excellent roto-scoped animation, Prince of
Persia has a nice balance of exploration, traps, and
sword fighting; all controllable with a joystick and a
single button.
The Amiga port is one of my favorites as many versions
added too much detail to the main character, thus defeating
the purpose of roto-scoping in the first place. The IBM
version is also excellent.
