Have you thought of making an original game? I don't know - if it's just the personal challenge to see if you can do it, great. You've done three before so you've done this one too.

Good point "destruk", I can say that I have plans to implement an original game, but the reason I'm doing specifically these games is way more personal than it seems, they are very important to me, I would not be a developer, and would not have achieved professionally what I have achieved, if I had not played these games and wondered if I could do something like that myself.

fter I started programming, unfortunately I never got really involved in game development. Then 35 years after writing my first line of Basic, I decided to recreate Prince of Persia, and this became a really emotional journey for me, what I could not predict was how exciting for me it became to know from inside out those games that were amazingly mysterious and fun for my teen self!When I'm developing these, I picture myself like those guys that carefully assemble a boat inside a bottle, just putting piece by piece together.
I was planning to finish by Donkey Kong, but then I remembered about this annoying music and beautiful scrolling parallax effect (Moon Patrol was the first to implement it), I just had to do it
