QuoteEarlier today we mentioned Brøderbund's 1989 retro gaming classic of Prince of Persia, which was given an enhanced audio and performance treatment for the Atari STe by Peter Putnik. Well now we are going to go that one step further as it's time to announce the update release of the free open source port update of the MS-DOS version of Prince of Persia, which works perfectly on modern systems with a simple click of an exe file!

That's a nice looking title screen! I wondered how it would look in the very limited palette of the Acorn Electron in a medium resolution graphics mode (MODE 1), though expanded to allow 4 distinct colours per scanline.

Perhaps a YouTube video isn't the best way to show this, but here it is! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vzBianf9M0)

I expect the CPCs can do even better! :D
