After 2 years of very intensive development, one of the most classic games has just been made for the Atari 8-bit computer.
The Prince of Persia was created by Jordan Mechner and was first released for the Apple 2 and became a very surprising success.
Many ports for The Prince of Persia were made afterwards but unfortunately, users of the Atari 8-bit computer system never got the chance to play it.
That was until one day a group of people were able to suspend the 30-year long wait by making it downloadable and playable for anyone who owned any Atari XL/XE with 128kb of RAM.
The Prince of Persia was ported from the BBC Master port by Bitshifters which has the source code available on Github.
All the Atari port credit goes to:
