Channel Description: Prince of Persia Preview takes a trip back to 1989 and the poor (by today's standards) graphics that were all the rage 25+ years ago. Originally published by Brøderbund for the Apple II, the game was eventually ported to many other platforms, including Amiga, Atari, MS-DOS, Sega, and Game Boy.

The plot of the game, which is set in ancient Persia, revolves around a wizard, Jaffar, who seizes power while the sultan is in a foreign land. The Sultan's daughter blocks his ascent to the throne, so Jaffar locks her in a tower, ordering her to become his wife less she die within an allotted amount of time. The Princess is in love with a nameless protagonist , who is imprisoned in a dungeon. The objective is the make sure the protagonist escapes the dungeon, gets to the palace tower, and defeats Jaffar before time runs out to free the princess.
