October 3rd: Prince of Persia 25th anniversary
 

Hey all, I'm not sure how exactly the following information might be useful, but Prince of Persia has its 25th anniversary next week, on October 3rd. As I'm sure most of you know, after its release for the Apple ][ it has been ported to lots of platforms, including DOS (download available at Abandonia).

Also, today (September 28th), version 1.09 of SDLPoP has been released. SDLPoP is a free and open-source port of Prince of Persia, that runs natively(!) under Windows and Linux, so without the use of an emulator. Two download mirrors here (ZIP, 1.2MB) and here (same). While this is still a pre-release, it basically works flawlessly. (Better fullscreen support and music is being worked on.)

Finally, maybe it's interesting for visitors if the "extras" sections of the Abandonia pages about Prince of Persia and Prince of Persia 2 would contain download links for the free and open-source Prince of Persia (1 + 2) level editor apoplexy. Version 2.6b of that editor was released on September 18th. Two download mirrors for Windows are here (ZIP, 17MB) and here (same). Two download mirrors for Linux are here (TGZ, 7.4MB) and here (same).

I've added the level editors as extras to POP1, thanks!

We don't have a system to link the same extra to different games, but probably this is sufficient.

I've had to convert the .tar.gz to .zip, because we have restrictions on file extensions.

A new version is out.
