Prince of Persia : 4D Prince
Created by Kirill A. Terebilov (Russia) in 1994, using PRINCEDIT, 4D Prince of Persia is a solid unofficial version of Jordan Mechner's classic action/adventure that starts off the same as the original version but will stump even action veterans with devious level design and tougher enemies in the later stages.
For the uninitiated: Prince of Persia was a smash hit when it was released in 1990, and is today still regarded as one of the best games ever made. The combination of fluid, lifelike animations, great Arabian-Night storyline, and devious physical traps and puzzles made it a revolutionary game for the time, and very challenging even to expert gamers.
The tortuous difficulty level of this fan made version makes it a perfect game for those who finished the original game and are looking for a real challenge to save the princess.

Repaired Level 11
The original 4D Prince game will stuck on Level 11 (Therefore, you won't be able to continue the game). The problem is that the end of KIRILL.DAT is corrupted, i.e. overwritten with zeroes. You can copy the end of the file from the original LEVELS.DAT with a hex editor. Or, you can download the David's fixed PoP 4D here: http://www.freeweb.hu/princepersia/en/prince12_dl.htm.
Also, level 11 was repaired using PR features, download the new kirill.dat file and overwrite the old one with it (http://www.curlysworldoffreeware.com/games/view/103).
Saving
Saving the game on the original 4D Prince won't work either. To fix that, all you have to do is:
1. Download Prince of Persia 1 from here: http://popuw.com/download.html.
2. Download the repaired kirill.dat (see above).
3. Extract Prince of Persia 1 on a new folder.
4. Rename kirill.dat to levels.dat and copy it to the Prince of Persia 1 folder. (Overwrite
the POP1's levels.dat).
