Prince of Persia for C64: 60+ levels & random levels generator

For PC version of Prince of Persia, there are so many custom fan made levels and they are integrated into total pack package, Prince of Persia 1 - Total Pack, made by me( http://popuw.com/totalpack.html ). Total pack also includes random levels generator for Prince of Persia 1.

About one month ago, thanks to Mr.SID, Prince of Persia now can be played on C64 emulation or real hardware. After playing this masterpiece on VICE, I have decided to make PC-to-C64 levels converter and random levels generator for C64 version of Prince of Persia.

Here are some screenshots of the development version. Following levels are not original version of PoP. They are PC-to-C64 converted levels.
- 4D Prince (Kirill A. Terebilov, 1994)
- Jaffar's Revenge (Crazy Diamond, 2006)
- PoP1 Remix 2 (AuraDragon, 2007)

Beta version would be released on CSDb soon.

what about uploading at CSDb the FINAL version only, after the betatest finishes? Of course a project like this won't be finished at v1.0 and there will be more versions later, but betas are betas for a reason: not completely tested and finished. Who wants to check the beta, can download it at your site anyway.

You are absolutely right. Beta versions would not be released on CSDb. Thank you for advising.

Thank you for being interested in the development.

Here is some test play #1 for PC-to-C64 level conversion.

(Fan made custom levels: Steven Fayers Level 10)

Basically the converted gameplay works fine but some tuning and bug-fixing are needed.

* NOTE
All download links of the alpha versions in the dev pages have been removed since the previous versions have some problem.

I will post several preview screenshots and youtube movies before releasing official 1.0 version.

** PREVIEW #1 **
The title name of this software has been changed to 'Prince of Persia 1 - Total Pack for Commodore 64' aka 'PoP1:TotalPack-C64'.

One feature which would be included to total pack is 'automatic level mirroring'. It means 'automatic horizontal level flipping'. Please see the following youtube movie and screenshots.
