Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame is a platform game developed by Brøderbund in 1994 for Windows and Mac systems, and published by Titus Software for the Super NES in 1996. It has some missing features and lacks several stages, including the last one. The game can also be unlocked in the Xbox NTSC version of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time by finding a secret area.
Similar to the first Prince of Persia, the character explores various deadly areas by running, jumping, crawling, avoiding traps, solving puzzles and drinking magic potions. Prince of Persia 2 is, however, more combat-heavy than its predecessor.
The game takes place eleven days after the events of Prince of Persia, in Persia, as well as various other locations. During this period of eleven days, the Prince was hailed as a hero who defeated the evil Jaffar. He turns down all riches and instead asks for the Princess' hand in marriage as his reward, to which the Sultan of Persia reluctantly agrees.
