Broderbund’s classic action-platformer Prince of Persia has been ported to a lot of machines since its original release on the Apple II in 1989 — both officially and unofficially. However, one platform that somehow escaped getting its very own version of the game for the longest time was the Vic-20 (the home computer originally launched by Commodore back in 1980).
