28 years later, a modern level editor is released for the Apple II version Prince of Persia

In 1989, Jordan Mechner released Prince of Persia for the Apple II and it was a best seller as the history tells. Later the game was ported to all computer and game platform you can think of, making it one of the most iconic games ever released. 28 years later, the original game is still fun to play, even on retro machines like the Apple II. The clever gameplay and the cinematic animation still bring joy to my eyes when I see it.

If you are also a fan of the game, you will be happy to know that it was recently released a level editor for the Apple II version! Leapop runs on Windows and Linux and has its source code available under GPL.

I would love to hear if you are up to the task of making the game even better!
