I decided to try porting PoP in early 2019. -This port is based on the BBC Master port by Bitshifters https://bitshifters.github.io/posts/prods/bs-pop-beeb.html (Props to them!) -Based on the original Apple2 code by Jordan Mechner https://github.com/jmechner/Prince-of-Persia-Apple-II (Props to him!). The background graphics also comes from the BBC port. -On the art side: @TIX Character art+ Princess room @miker music bank 1+ sfx bank 1 @VinsCool music bank1 & 2 @emkay sfx bank 2 @makary sfx bank 1 @superrune title picture -On the tech side: Soundplayer: @dmsc's LZ4 SAPR player. zx5 unpacker & Xbios by @xxl.
