    Wow! The title screen Prince of Persia never had. Nice work!

    I just completed the title image for the Atari A8 conversion of Prince of Persia. The game should be released in a couple days. This one was tough to do, and I hope you like it!

    Finally, an article that calls it: Categorizing people by generation (boomer, millennial, X, Y, Z) is fun, but no more "real" than doing it by astrological signs. (Which is also fun.)

    Amazing! Looks like a very smooth and faithful port... after 30 years! I didn't know that system existed. The first computer I ever programmed (in BASIC) was my high school's DEC PDP-11/34. I wonder how similar it is?

    A remake of the Prince of Persia game for BK-0011M (Soviet computer of 1990) is completed!
