Yeah, I played it in my freshman dorm computer lab in college. It was a challenge it finish it within the hour time limit.
I remember when the sequel came out when I was junior, and I had a computer of my own in my room, my brother’s old cast off computer that he no longer used. But it was good enough to play Prince of Persia 2. The sequel was a much longer game, in theory, but because you could save the game and didn’t have to start over with the time limit, it was a much shorter experience overall. I still think back fondly on the purity of the original. You have one hour. Get out of the dungeon and rescue the princess. If you die, you restart in the same area where you died, but the time keeps draining.
