Prince Persii

"It is a time of darkness. While the Sultan is off fighting a foreign war, his Grand Vizier JAFFAR has seized the reins of power. Throughout the land, the people groan under the yoke of a cruel tyrant and dream of better days."

"Only one obstacle stands between Jaffar and the throne. An adventurer from a foreign land, innocent of palace intrigues, you have won the heart of the Sultan's lovely young daughter. And in so doing, you have unwittingly made a powerful enemy."

"On Jaffar's orders you are arrested, stripped of your sword and your possessions and thrown into the Sultan's dungeons. As for the Princess, Jaffar gives her a choice and an hour to decide: Marry him--or die. Whichever her choice, it can bring only a throne for the Grand Vizier...a new reign of terror for his long-suffering subjects...and death for the brave youth who might have

been...PRINCE OF PERSII."
