Name: Prince of Persia (well, kind of)
Author: Pedro Bermejo
Genre: Platforms
Code: Assembler
Requirements: VIC-20 PAL +35k, Disk Unit/SD2IEC, Joystick optional

Description: This is my try to provide a version of this great game for the VIC-20. You have 60 minutes to rescue the princess from the vizier's clutches. Control the 'Kid' (as Jordan Mechner used to call him) by using the JoyStick or following keys:
'O' / 'P' - Left / Right
'Q' / 'A' - Up / Down
'SPACE BAR' - 'Special' movement

Screen can be centered from the presentation screen, by using the cursor keys. Game uses 27 columns x 29 rows so, I'm afraid, it requires a PAL VIC.

If trying in VICE, just drag and drop the D64 on the emulator. If using real hardware, you need to load the 'LOADER.PRG' (with "*",8,1) and then run the BASIC program (just one line with the SYS call).
