Absolutely beautiful game. Amazing gameplay, beautiful yet simple graphics (played PC DOS version), and a great story somehow integrated into a platformer without cutscenes. Infuriatingly addicting, yet never for the fault in the game, continuously motivating the player to try and try and try again. The controls take a little bit of time to get used to, especially if just coming off playing something Mario-like. But once you get used to them, there is nothing that could feel any better.
Absolutely deserving of its credit as a best of the best, especially in the time it came out. Especially beautiful as the game is dripping with Persian art influence. Well-deserving of its praise and acknowledged importance to video game history.
