SEGA CD Prince of Persia
Red K Products presents: Prince of Persia (Sega CD) - The Cinematic "Longbox" Classic!
Journey back to the dawn of multimedia gaming with this authentic NTSC-U release of Prince of Persia for the Sega CD. Distinct from its cartridge counterparts, this 1992 "First Wave" edition by Bits Laboratory completely reimagines the classic platformer with a unique anime-inspired art style, fully voiced cinematic cutscenes, and a high-fidelity Redbook audio soundtrack. Housed in the notoriously fragile and increasingly rare cardboard retail longbox, this artifact represents a specific moment in gaming history when Sega aimed to bridge the gap between video games and cinema. This is a rare opportunity to own the specific "Silver/Blue" disc variant in its original packagingโa true survivor of the 16-bit console wars.
Perfect for:
- Sega CD collectors seeking to complete their "Longbox" library.
- Prince of Persia franchise fans looking for the unique "Anime Prince" variant.
- Enthusiasts of 1990s "multimedia" gaming history.
- Collectors who appreciate the fragility and rarity of early cardboard game packaging.
Condition: This is a vintage collectible in "Mid-Grade" collector's condition. The original cardboard longbox is structurally intact with vibrant colors, displaying "honest wear" typical of a 30-year-old paper product, including visible stress creases on the front fascia and edge whitening along the spines. The internal components are authentic and present: the instruction manual shows signs of readership with some corner bending, and the game disc is the correct "First Print" Silver/Blue variant, verified to be free of significant rot.
Here's the list of contents:
- Original Cardboard Retail Longbox: The rare, early-release packaging featuring the "Vizier in the clouds" artwork.
- Sega CD Game Disc: The authentic "Silver Disc with Blue Text" variant.
- Instruction Manual: The original booklet with cover art matching the box.
- Jewel Case: Standard clear plastic case protecting the media and manual.
