Prince of Persia is a platform game, originally developed by Jordan Mechner in 1989 for the Apple II, that was widely seen as a great leap forward in the quality of animation seen in computer games. Mechner used a process called rotoscoping, in which he studied many hours of film of his younger brother David running and jumping in white clothes, to ensure that all the movements looked just right.
Also unusual was the method of combat: protagonist and enemies fought with swords, not projectile weapons, as was the case in most contemporary games. Mechner has said that when he started programming, the first ten minutes of Raiders of the Lost Ark had been one of the main inspirations for the character's acrobatic responses in a dangerous environment.

Can't hardly wait!
@Adam and MacWise
'Helpers & Add-ons' sounds good and I'll put it on the todo list. So one day soon you'll be able to add those save games etc. Which are actually a very important part of the archive experience.
I see, I guess if we can have a section labeled "General Files" that would be fine. I don't want you to have to go through a lot of work to get it done though. I have recently found many cheats, trainers, save games, etc, for many of the files here.
Your right, they are not manuals, but some good cheats non the less.
Better call it Helpers & Add-ons.
@Adam
At the moment we can only show 1 manual but the files have successfully been uploaded. With a bit of fiddling this can be changed. Looking at the files, I see they're not really manuals, we might need to add a new field like 'General files' or do you think putting them in the 'Manuals' field is suitable?
I tried to edit this page to add two cheaters and a level editor, but the files have not shown up as of yet. I can go to Revisions and see my comment, but that's it. Any ideas.
If you can describe the situation, I might be able to offer some suggestions. What version of Mac OS are you using? Did you get it to unpack properly? What happens when you try to run the game? Do you get error messages?
My version works but I am unable to start the game...I'm playing it on my iBook...can anyone help?
if you're a Windows user, you will also need to download SDL 1.2 libraries and a GTK+2 Runtime.
Checked the manual "codes" - which despite appearances, never came with the game - against the real manual, and they're OK.
i dont understand the potion challanges. i drink the right one according to the manual but it still sends me to the start without my saved progress. any thoughts?
Well for me it's different. Just read it upside down.
If the document is not already extracted, drag the file onto the Stuffit Expander icon, and when the Stuffit icon highlights or darkens, release the mouse button. You should then have a folder containing the Prince Of Persia programme and the files it needs.
If you have already tried this, you might have received a corrupted file and should download it again.
I tried running this game with Basilisk II but it says:
The document "Persia(COLOR)" could not be opened, because the application program that created it could not be found.
Someone please help me.
The manual link has the info for potion challenges. It's a png image though.
Can someone upload the manual please? I can't past the potion challenges.
