About This Retro Game
This version introduced fully voiced CD-audio narration by the Grand Vizier (voiced by Alan Oppenheimer) and the Princess, adding dramatic depth to the original's silent storytelling.
The Sega CD's hardware allowed for fluid 12fps character animations - double the frame rate of the original computer versions.
Notable for its realistic rotoscoped movements, the game pioneered motion-capture techniques that influenced later titles like Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed.
