Prince of Persia source code rescue
Posted By Mike Maginnis On April 16, 2012 @ 10:47 am In Elsewhere,Hardware,People | No Comments
The attempt to rescue the Apple II Prince of Persia source code from Jordan Mechner’s original diskettes is scheduled to happen today. Digital archivist and indy doc filmmaker extraordinaire Jason Scott [1] volunteered to fly out to California today to make the magic, and also conscripted 16sector’s [2] Tony Diaz to assist. You can read up on the background at Jordan’s blog [3] and then follow the live, blow-by-blow action on Twitter [4] with the #sourcecode [5] hash tag.
Update: Due to the continuing popularity of Jake Gyllenhaal’s recent movie, the PoP source code rescue project is now live-tweeting [6] under the #popsource [7] hash tag. (HT Ken Gagne).
