It was released in 1994, based on the musician [Prince](/source/Prince_(musician)) and his [Paisley Park Studios](/source/Paisley_Park_Studios) recording complex. ## Gameplay The disc contains a video game, songs, music videos, a virtual tour through Paisley Park Studios, and other multimedia resources. Complete gameplay can last for hours. The video game is a [graphic adventure](/source/Adventure_game) with gameplay mechanics similar to *[Myst](/source/Myst)*, requiring the player to explore the many different rooms in Paisley Park Studios and solve puzzles to collect the five pieces of Prince's symbol.[1] It features six complete songs, including several which were previously unreleased, 52 song clips, four full-length music videos, 31 video clips, and nine morphs.[2] There is an interactive mixing board for adjusting music.[3] The private club contains clips of musicians, including [Eric Clapton](/source/Eric_Clapton), [Little Richard](/source/Little_Richard), [George Clinton](/source/George_Clinton_(funk_musician)), and [Miles Davis](/source/Miles_Davis) discussing Prince's career. ## Reception Ty Burr of *[Entertainment Weekly](/source/Entertainment_Weekly)* rated it as B+, describing it as "dopey but fun" and "imbued with [Prince's] goofball carnality", but more "marketing than entertainment". The gameplay was described as "meaningless scavenger hunts" and a "pointless" mixing board function. He summarized it as "a blast" to show it to friends but with no replay value. He cynically lamented this example of the entire two-year-old medium of the "craven new world of multimedia ... encrusted with cliches" within the "copycat mentality that rules pop music [with] a stable of aging rock & roll acts with time on their hands and a desperate need to seem relevant again".[3] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Prince Interactive for Macintosh (1994) - MobyGames"](http://www.mobygames.com/game/prince-interactive). 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["Prince Interactive software on CD-ROM from CDAccess.com"](https://web.archive.org/web/20071016122205/http://cdaccess.com/html/shared/prince.htm).
