I was only answering the question. I'm a total neophyte at Prince of Persia (and if Barry Schwartz wants to comment on my status as 'neophyte', he can jolly well do it in alt.flame), and I have yet to get past level 1. Sigh. I have heard that on the IBM machines, starting the game with a parameter of 'Megahit' from the DOS command line will give you a whole range of cheats. Here is the list, again from Zone3_Games in Fidonet, Oz... ---- start extract ---- From: Mike Battersby ZONE3_GAMES To: Justin Twiss Msg #14, 08 Jan 91 23:28:03 Subj: Prince of Persia JT> magazines. If I missed it, (I don't think so but...) could JT> you repost it? Okay, here goes.. Heres the Prince of Persia cheat again for every one who missed it last time (IBM Version only!) Prince of Persia Cheat - Discovered by Mike Battersby (just a bit of fame!) When you start the game, instead of just typing PRINCE (or whatever options you use) from DOS, type PRINCE MEGAHIT You can now use the following keys: SHIFT W - FLOAT DOWN ANY DROP (SAME AS GREEN POTION ON LEVEL 7) SHIFT T - AN EXTRA POINT OF HEALTH (SAME AS LARGE RED POTION-10 MAX) SHIFT I - TOGGLE INVERT SCREEN (SAME AS GREEN POTIONS ON LEVEL 9) SHIFT S - HEAL A POINT OF HEALTH (SAME AS SMALL RED POTION) SHIFT L - NEXT LEVEL (UP TO MIDWAY THROUGH LEVEL 12 AND THIS WILL NOT DECREASE YOUR TIME SO THAT YOU CANNOT FINISH THE GAME) SHIFT C - ??? SHIFT B - ??? C - ??? PLUS KEY - INCREASE TIME MINUS KEF - DECREASE TIME U - VIEW NEXT SCREEN UP H - VIEW NEXT SCREEN LEFT J - VIEW NEXT SCREEN RIGHT N - VIEW NEXT SCREEN DOWN I also thought about mapping the game, but since the above keys let you look around anywhere you want, there wasnt much point, and I probably saved myself a lot of time anyway! -------------------------------------- end of extract -------------- Hope that is of some use to budding cheats out there! :-) Dac --
