Hello Mr. Mechner. I actually was a fellow Yalie in the same year as Robert Cook. He told me he was the model for the Grand Vizier in Prince of Persia. I didn't quite believe him until I saw Robert in your video. That's awesome! He was a pretty cool guy.

Yes, I did run around the baddies. And when it came to moving, I jumped instead of regular jogging (as long as it was safe to do it of course). You move much faster that way. I also have some other tricks up my sleeve. I can tell you them if you are interrested. :)

You must have run around baddies w/out killing them, as it's hard for me to think where I could lose that much time - I didn't hurry too much and was playing quite careful, but not slow. And I bloodthirstily killed anyone who opposed me.

I was able to run it through under 13 minutes. My record is 12 minutes and something.

I had memorize all the levels incuding some "tricks" to beat the levels faster.

But I don't have any proof so I don't expect you to believe me.

I still remember all the "tricks", but I have forgot how all the levels looks, so I'm not able to do it that fast anymore.

I still playing this game from time to time, but not as much as I used to. I have also tried to make some custom levels.
