Broderbund’s sales are way down. It’s an industry-wide slump. Nobody knows why it’s happening, or how long it will last.
Doug is convinced Prince of Persia will be a major hit. He urged me to get going on the MS-DOS conversion immediately.
Today I put in a self-running demo, and made the guards slightly less dumb, so they can pursue you onto the next screen.
I’ll be so depressed if this game isn’t a hit. Doug’s right: unless there’s an MS-DOS version out pretty close on the heels of the Apple version, it’ll be another Wings of Fury. “Huh,” the dealers will say. “I thought this one was gonna be really hot – but look, it’s not selling all that well.”
I’ve gotta find an MS-DOS programmer – soon. I’ll call Doug Greene tomorrow. Again.
