- Prince of Persia
- Cracked by R. Bubba Magillicutty
-
- Graphics: Hercules/CGA/Tandy/EGA/VGA
- Sound : Adlib/Covox/Game Blaster/IBM Music Feature/Sound Blaster
- Controls: Keyboard/Joystick
-
- Protection: "Doc check" - After level 1, it would tell you to "Drink the
- potion with the starting letter of word xx on page xx, paragraph xx." I
- removed that whole level. It took a while to do, because I had to play the
- game so many times to see what happened. It used a memory location to store
- the current level. I intercepted this and checked to see if it was trying to
- go to the protection board, and if so, to go instead to level 2.
-
- This game looks pretty good. The character's movements are impressive.
- The game reviewers seem to agree, as you can tell by looking through
- PRINCE.EXE with your favorite sector editor or file browser. I haven't seen
- any of those pop up yet. Could just be in there for people who look through
- the code. Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy this thing. I did until forced to
- play it several dozen times. It's rather difficult... On level 12 you have
- to duel the Sultan or whatever he is. Trashed me every time. I'll have to
- get a cheat out for this thing, though I may just leave it to Rescue Raider
- since he generally does nice work (though I still think writing one for
- Action Fighter was a bit silly.) Have fun and watch for more. There'll be
- two more tomorrow (would have been today if not for all the time I had to
- spend on this.)

- Prince of Persia
- Command Keys
-
- At Title Screen:
- * CTRL-L :Loads a previously saved game
- ANY KEY :Starts game on level 1
-
- During the game:
- CTRL-S :Sound on/off toggle
- CTRL-R :Restart game (go back to title screen)
- CTRL-A :Restart level
- CTRL-J :Joystick
- CTRL-K :Keyboard
- CTRL-V :Version
- ** SHFT-L :Advance Level
- * CTRL-G :Save Game
- SPACE :Time remaining
- *** SHIFT :Action Key
- *** CRSR KEYS :Movement
- CTRL-Q :Quit to DOS
-
- * When you load a saved game, it places you at the start of the level
- that you saved it on. Therefore I would suggest you save it at
- the start of each new level. You can only save on levels higher than
- two.
-
- ** This will advance you up to level 4, takeing 15 minutes off your time for
- each level. This is ok for looking around, but there is no way you
- will finish the game starting on level 5 with only 15 minutes. When
- I played, I had about 50 min left when I got up to level 4, and I only
- had 15 min left when I finally finished level 12.
-
- *** If you are standing still:
- CRSR UP :Jump up / Climb up
- CRSR DOWN :Crouch down
- CRSR LEFT :Turn / Run Left
- CRSR RIGHT :Turn / Run Right
- HOME :Jump Left
- PgUp :Jump Right
- SHFT-CRSR LEFT :One step Left
- SHFR-CRSR RIGHT :One step Right
- SHIFT :Drink potion (if standing near one)
-
- If you are running:
- CRSR UP :Do running jump (can still hold down CRSR L/R)
-
- If you are crouching:
- END :'Hop' left
- PgDn :'Hop' Right
-
- If you are Jumping / falling:
- SHFT :This will make the dude grab the nearest ledge
- I would suggest you get good with this because
- you NEED it LOTS in the higher levels. Once you
- are 'hanging', press CRSR UP to climb up.
-
- If you are Fighting:
- CRSR LEFT :Step Left
- CRSR RIGHT :Step Right
- CRSR UP :Block Attack
- CRSR DOWN :Put away sword (you do need this, once....)
- SHIFT :Lunge attack
-
- If you are finding fighting difficult, try this:
- 1) Move within striking range
- 2) Wait for your opponent to make an attack & Block it with CRSR UP
- 3) Attack opponent immediately following his attack. If you press
- SHIFT fast enough, the attack will flow quickly and smoothly
- from the block, but most opponents will block this. I found
- it more effective to block and then attack a millisecond after.
- You will probably do this anyways at first until you get
- your timing down.
- 4) Goto step 1
- Note: different opponents require different fighting techniques.
-
- If you are useing a joystick:
- Push stick in direction as seen on numeric keypad
- Button = SHIFT key
-
- I do not know if these directions are complete as myself and some friends
- figured them out ourselves. Nice crack job Bubba.

- ps. I have finished the game, but then, I finish most games.
