ABOUT THE GAME

Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame is a 1993 cinematic platform game released by Broderbund for MS-DOS, and later ported to Macintosh, Super NES, and FM Towns. It is the second installment in the Prince of Persia series, and a direct sequel to 1989's Prince of Persia. Both games were designed by Jordan Mechner, but unlike the original, he did not program the sequel himself. In the game, players control the Prince as he attempts to return to medieval Persia and defeat the evil wizard Jaffar once and for all, who has assumed his appearance, seized the throne, and put his love interest, the Princess, under a death spell. Similar to the original, Prince of Persia 2 was a commercial success, and was regarded by most contemporary reviewers as an improvement over its predecessor. The final installment in the original Prince of Persia trilogy, Prince of Persia 3D, was released in 1999. An updated version of the game for iOS and Android was released in 2013 without the "2" in the title.
