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 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.
