The Flipper device has been around for a long while, an electronic multi-tool capable of doing many things, such as accessing your wireless devices, hacking gadgets, opening doors, and even using it as an Amibo, but the latest quirk is the fact that it can play Prince of Persia.
It was originally released in 1989 on the Apple II, created by Jordan Mechner, who we have interviewed in the past. This is a port of Prince of Persia called Prince of Arabia, originally ported to Arduino-based consoles such as the Arduboy FX-C, which we reviewed a couple of weeks ago.
This takes advantage of the Flipper Zero's tiny 1.4" monochrome LCD display (128x64 px), and although its not going to open doors, hack things or unlock Amibo's it will kill some time if it's the only handheld device you have on you.

It's available to download and install on your device via Flipper's App Store, and it's completely free to download. And if you really want to take it a step further, you can pair this with the video game module that Flipper sales which allows you to hook it up to an HDMI TV.
Now, that may feel a little clunky while using the tiny controls, but it's possible if that's what you want to experience the full one-hour game, with a remade soundtrack on this little fella.
Shout out to The Press Play On Tape team for developing this game and making it possible on these weird and wacky handheld devices.
