The Game Boy conversion of Prince of Persia was released in 1992 by Virgin Games, and it is not too shabby at all.

Prince of Persia, Sega CD
Another Japanese conversion of Prince of Persia; this one done by Bits Laboratory for Brøderbund and released for the Sega CD in 1992.
Graphically and sonically it has been ‘enhanced’ to take advantage of the Sega’s CD‘s capabilities, but thankfully the developers resisted the temptation to fill the game with loads of Full Motion Video, which was prevalent on the format at the time.
Prince of Persia, Sega Master System
The Sega Master System port of Jordan Mechner‘s classic Prince of Persia was published by Domark in 1992. And in truth: it’s a bit hit and miss.
It looks alright, but the main character’s movement isn’t up to scratch, which is sacrilege.
Prince of Persia, TurboGrafx-16
Another fantastic conversion of Prince of Persia – this one for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16. It was a CD-ROM only release, so took advantage of Red Book audio streamed directly from the disc, and as a result: the music in the game is quite amazing and really adds to the atmosphere of the game.
Prince of Persia, X68000
Considering the graphical power of the Sharp X68000 this 1991 conversion of the classic Prince of Persia looks a little underwhelming.
Prince of Persia, SAM Coupé
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.
