Prince of Persia Sega Genesis version cutscenes (1993) 🔗


After Jordan Mechner's Prince of Persia made waves on the already outdated Apple II, it got ported to a lot of different platforms over several years. When it finally made its way to the Sega Genesis, the graphics were updated quite a bit, adding new full screen art for the intro and ending sequences. The artist must have liked Boris Vallejo quite a bit, cause practically all the scenes originate in the master's paintings. My favorite of them all has got to be the ending where the hero finally gets to embrace he princess, but in the original he was a fearsome winged demon.

These sources have been discovered by barbarus from the Hardcore Gaming 101 forums.
