Uh oh… The 1990 SAM Coupé conversion of Jordan Mechner‘s classic Prince of Persia is disastrously flawed.

Prince of Persia, PC
The 1990 MS-DOS version of Prince of Persia is as good as – if not better than – the Amiga and Atari ST versions. They were developed side-by-side by Brøderbund and look and play very similarly.
Prince of Persia, Atari ST
The Atari ST version of Prince of Persia was one of four conversions released by Brøderbund in 1990 (Amstrad, PC, Amiga and this), and it is excellent – like the others.
Prince of Persia, Amstrad CPC
Developed in 1990 by Brøderbund France, the Amstrad CPC conversion of Prince of Persia is a decent interpretation of Jordan Mechner‘s classic platform game.
Graphically, the Amstrad version is very good. It is arguably the best-looking out of all the 8-bit versions.
Prince of Persia, Amiga
The Amiga version of Prince of Persia was released by Domark in 1990 and is an excellent enhanced port of the original classic.
Prince of Persia, Apple II
The Apple II version of Prince of Persia is the original, released by Brøderbund in 1989.
The game wasn’t a big hit initially, but word of how good it was grew when the game was converted to other systems and was also released in Asia and Europe. Prince of Persia gradually built into a phenomenon.
Baldur’s Gate, PC
Baldur’s Gate was the first game to use the BioWare Infinity Engine and was released by Interplay in 1998. It is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, with a 2nd Edition AD&D ruleset, and is therefore a fantasy RPG adventure with castles, magic and monsters in the grand sense of the fashion.
Stadium Mud Buggies, Intellivision
Stadium Mud Buggies is a fun isometric racing game for one or two players. It was released on Intellivision cartridge by INTV Corporation in 1988.
In many way Stadium Mud Buggies reminds me of the classic Racing Destruction Set, or Rare‘s R.C. Pro Am, but it stands on its own two wheels as arguably the best racing game on the Intellivision.
Armor Battle, Intellivision
Armor Battle is a multiplayer tank combat game for the Intellivision that was released in 1979.
Vindicators, Arcade
Vindicators is a one or two-player futuristic tank combat game released into arcades by Atari Games in 1988.
The simultaneous two-player co-op mode is arguably the most fun you can have with Vindicators, although the single-player game is also challenging.
