An all-time classic, and well-loved in its day, it's clear that it fell out of favour very quickly in the Amiga Power office, but is still fondly remembered on every platform it has appeared on.
The evil Jaffar is holding the sultan's daughter prisoner in a tower, and you have an hour to climb up from the dungeons to reach her before she dies. The timer is the only restriction, as you have infinite lives to make your way through. The realistic rotoscoped animations were revolutionary for the time, and the tight movement and puzzle aspect kept players coming back time and again.
It's been ported so many times, and is still a well-known franchise, so I don't think I need to say much more about it, but I do remember greatly enjoying the PC version back in the day, and although the Amiga port is perfectly fine to play, there really are many ways to play this today. Try the SNES version if you want some more levels and interesting graphics.
