Prince of Persia is an adventure game in which you have 8 minutes to navigate to the Vizier’s throne room and stop him from unleashing the Sands of Time. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the Prince in all directions. Use the shift key to grab onto ledges and pick up items. Hold shift while pressing the arrow keys to walk. Walking allows the Prince to stand more closely on edges and pass through spikes. If you are having difficulty performing the Standing Forward lump, you may use the space bar to perform this move. When in combat mode, the left and right arrow keys will move the Prince toward or away from the enemy. Pressing up will allow you to parry an incoming attack, and pressing down will allow you to put your sword away in case you need to escape.
