In the original edition of Prince of Persia, what happens when you die?
Solution 1:
In the original Prince of Persia you start at the very beginning of a level after dying. You can do this an unlimited number of times.
However, there is a time limit on a complete playthrough of the game, so if you restart a level too many times you will not have enough time to finish the complete game. This made the game quite hard, as with no indication of how much time is needed to complete the remaining levels, dying too often in the beginning would mean having to restart the entire game in order to be able to complete it.
