Prince of Persia (1989)
Game designer Jordan Mechner's instant classic told the tale of an orphaned boy who must save a princess from the clutches of an evil Vizier. The trick? He -- and you -- must do it in less than one hour. With revolutionary graphics (the Prince's famous moves were first performed by Mechner's little brother) and fantastic platforming action, it remains one of the most influential games of its kind.
