The Prince of Persia franchise has endured for 35 years now, though it hasn't stayed in fans' good books for nearly as long. Debuting all the way back in 1989, Prince of Persia became an immediate success, mostly due to its more realistic approach to platforming that was achieved through rotoscoped animations. Since then, the original Prince of Persia has been ported, remastered, and remade more than any fan would initially think possible. It's clear that the original 1989 Prince of Persia was truly one of a kind, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown does its best to honor that.
