Prince of Persia returns on GBC with its iconic rotoscoped platforming formula. Simplified animation, palace traps and timed escape. A respectful adaptation, more accessible but less fluid than the originals.

Is Prince of Persia still worth playing in 2026?

This Game Boy Color version of Prince of Persia adapts Jordan Mechner's classic, famous for its rotoscoped movement and deadly traps to clear against the clock. Color brightens the scenery a little, but the conversion suffers from less fluid animation and at-times ungrateful jump precision on the handheld. The demand and the sense of timing stay intact for those who accept the challenge. Today it mainly interests fans of tough retro platformers and those curious about the game's many ports.
