Prince of Persia source code

[Prince of Persia source code]

"Game industry veteran Jordan Mechner has released the source code for the original Apple II version of Prince of Persia, more than two decades after the game's release":

 

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/168709/Prince_of_Persias_oncelost_source_code_released.php

 

Would this be useful to have a port of this game for Atari 8-bits? Anyway, here´s the link to the source files:

[Have you completed Lucasfilm's The Eidelon?]

Hi Gunstar,

 

The video corresponds to the Atari 8-bit version. Yep, I recorded it using Atari8000Win PLus. That´s why you see those *black energy balls* floating around.

 

Speaking about Koronis Rift, here´s the link to my original article (spanish): http://atariteca.blogspot.com/2011/03/koronis-rift.html

 

And using Google Translate to turn it into english: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=es&sl=es&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fatariteca.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F03%2Fkoronis-rift.html

BTW, for those interested on Koronis Rift, I wrote an extensive guide about it: http://atariteca.blogspot.com/2011/03/koronis-rift.html

 

And here you have a video regarding the first levels...don´t miss the easter egg!

 

[Have you completed Lucasfilm's The Eidelon?]

I made it until the last dragon:

 

Here you can take at look the level maps; besides, there are some hints regarding the enemies and jewels needed to defeat each dragon: http://atariteca.blogspot.com/2011/09/mapas-de-niveles-de-eidolon.html

[What is your All-Time favorite Atari 8-bit game song?]

"Thalamusik", originally composed by the genial Rob Hubbard for the C-64´s shot´em-up "Sanxion" and ported to atari 8-bit for "The Extirpator": http://atariteca.blogspot.com/2009/04/intro-de-extirpator-audio.html

 

And here is what I consider the best cover of this song: http://atariteca.blogspot.com/2010/06/thalamusik-shitty-solo-version.html

[Montezuma´s Revenge for iPad and iPhone]

Just found this article in a chilean radio´s website:The release of Montezuma´s Revenge for iPad and iPhone. Here´s a sum up (in spanish but with the option to be translated) http://atariteca.blogspot.com/2012/03/lanzaran-montezumas-revenge-para-iphone.html . The main new is that -according to Robert Jaeger- this version will (finally!) have "a decent ending" that the 8-bit lacks.

[Inverse video key in A8 emulators]

Well, confirmed: it´s the END key in both emulators.(Altirra and Atari800Win PLus). But in Atari800, the "inverse video" is the one located to the left of the number one ("

the tilde key").

[Secret codes in Alternate Reality - The City]

Hi everyone,

 

This for the Alternate Reality fans (guess many of us!). Just found this surfing the web:

 

"SECRET CODES IN THE CITY

----------------------------

 

Philip Price is a man who is known to not be fond of cheating in computer games, atleast,

not without a negative effect for every positive one. So, there are some codes in The City

which can be entered, but exactly what they do is unknown (even to Philip Price himself at

this day).

 

Well, by entering your Character's name as "fiat" with the CTRL key pressed down you get

the question "What is Reality?"

 

The following are the various answers and their cryptic effects:

 

cela saute aux yeux - To be outside of time is to be unchangable.

sempiternal - The gift of life is thru love.

Master of Chronos - Hail Master of Chronos! But power is fleeting.

unseen - That which is invisible is real"

 

Does anybody know the effect (if there is one) of such codes in the game? I´ve tried them all but can´t notice any result.

[Inverse video key in A8 emulators]

Hello bf2k+

 

I´ve just confirmed it´s also the same key for Atari800Win PLus 4.0

 

Anyone else knows the right key for Altirra and Atari800?

[Inverse video key in A8 emulators]

Hello Kr0tki,

 

I´ve already tried to locate this specific key in the self test mode in Altirra, Atari800Win Plus and Atari800. No results up to date.

[Inverse video key in A8 emulators]

I just gave it a try... and didn´t work. Any idea?

[Inverse video key in A8 emulators]

Hi there,

 

I´m looking for the equivalent of the "inverse video" key in any of the Atari 8-bit computer emulators.

 

Hope you can give me a hand with this.

[Questprobe´s X-Men game?]

Just ran into this article in Wikipedia, about the Questprobe, the graphical adventure:

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questprobe#Cancelled_X-Men_game

 

"Cancelled X-Men game

 

The fourth title in the series was to include the X-Men - this game was partly coded by Scott Adams but never saw the light of day as a published game, as Adventure International became bankrupt during its development in 1985. The partially-coded game can be found around the internet and on many fan sites."

 

Does anyvody have this game? Any plans to complete it?
