Prince of Persia (Apple II)

To do:

  • All other unused rooms.
  • Changes between Apple II and DOS.
  • Pre-release page.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

The Apple II Prince of Persia was an technical feat, but the Apple II's gradual fade from relevance meant it didn't do enormously well... until the MS-DOS release, anyway.

The original source code has been publicly released, as well as a period-era technical document provided to the developers of the game's many, many ports. Combine this with the publication of Jordan Mechner's mid-development personal journals, and you might have one of the most-documented games of all time...
