Prince of Persia 35th anniversary update: This week in 1989, I "finished" PoP. After three years of work creating the game (on an Apple II), it was time to let go.💾
I have trouble letting go. As my journal reveals, I went on secretly fixing bugs... Which is strictly verboten, after QA has signed off on a master disk. But I was confident my last little bug fixes wouldn't break anything, because my pal Roland and I would "test the hell out of them" ourselves.
You can guess where this is going.
