There seemed to be some code to save the game, but I couldn't figure out how
to save.  Watch for the complete docs in a day or two, from us or someone
else.

Jumping straight up and hitting the ceiling will sometimes reveal a way up.
To move forward a small amount, duck or jump straight up.
Red potions heal; Blue potions hurt.

Protection: "Doc check" - After level 1, it would tell you to "Drink the
potion with the starting letter of word xx on page xx, paragraph xx."  I
removed that whole level.  It took a while to do, because I had to play the
game so many times to see what happened.  It used a memory location to store
the current level.  I intercepted this and checked to see if it was trying to
go to the protection board, and if so, to go instead to level 2.

This game looks pretty good.  The character's movements are impressive.
The game reviewers seem to agree, as you can tell by looking through
PRINCE.EXE with your favorite sector editor or file browser.  I haven't seen
any of those pop up yet.  Could just be in there for people who look through
the code.  Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy this thing.  I did until forced to
play it several dozen times. It's rather difficult...  On level 12 you have
to duel the Sultan or whatever he is.  Trashed me every time.  I'll have to
get a cheat out for this thing, though I may just leave it to Rescue Raider
since he generally does nice work (though I still think writing one for
Action Fighter was a bit silly.)  Have fun and watch for more.  There'll be
two more tomorrow (would have been today if not for all the time I had to
spend on this.)
