Made a disk to give to Doug tomorrow (Brian’s advice – actually something I should have done a long time ago). I made one for Gary too.
Nobody thinks we’ll make this August 29 ship date. I keep telling Brian: “We’ll make it! We’ll make it!” And I don’t even know if I believe it. But I’ve got to try.
Microsoft Word 4 arrived via Fed Express. I booted it up and it crashed immediately.
Added a balcony window that looks out onto a starry night. It really helps define the palace section as a different place. Someday I’ll make the stars flicker.
The game is taking shape by leaps and bounds, but unfixed bugs are piling up behind me.

There was magic created that day. On encountering it, that balcony was a reward for all the perils and difficulties the player had to face to get there. Out of the dungeon, to see the night sky! I could really empathize with the protagonist at that scene.
You know, eleven years later, these memories are still vivid in my head, of when I first played Prince of Persia. That’s quite an accomplishment in game design! This game really is an adventure.
“Microsoft Word 4 arrived via Fed Express. I booted it up and it crashed immediately.”
LOL. Not much has changed in 20 years it seems.
I agree with both Boki and Sean.. and I loved Prince of Persia when I first saw it in an expo on DOS in India in the 1990s!
