Is the original Prince of Persia a hard game compared to other similar games?

Answer 1

The original Prince of Persia game for the NES was relatively hard compared to many contemporary games as games have become much easier than games from the NES era. Other games you could compair it with would be something like Metroid and maybe Kid Icarus.

What makes PoP easier than many other games from the same time is that it has a save system based on passwords, so you can continue from a place where you left off instead of starting from the beginning each playtime.

The Prince of Persia game for the PS1 also had the original PoP game as an unlockable.
