I regularly play Prince of Persia on my Pal Sega Mega Drive. I'm not a speedrunner with a top speed, but I thought I'd see if there was a record in the community. Amazingly, however, there is no category for the Genesis / Mega Drive version. Can it be that the DOS version doesn't make a big difference or is it generally not allowed to submit the Sega version?

Hey! Sorry for the late reply, but there are no notifications for posts on a game series page, so for future requests I'd advise you to post in the corresponding game's forum directly.

Indeed there are a lot of ports or the original Prince of Persia, so how we usually handle things is that we add them by request only so we don't have a bunch of empty categories. Thus if you did a run of the Sega Mega Drive version (or know of such a run) please send us the video or let us know some other way, so we can add a SMD category to the PoP1 board.

Hey! There are quite a lot of ports of the game and the general consensus seems to be that categories would be added for them on demand (They are not created by default in the interest of not having them empty for too long). For better and more efficient communication, I would recommend you to join the discord server, you can talk with the mods of the game and also with other runners (of various other ports of the game), we can discuss about making a category for the Genesis / Mega Drive version :D

Wow, if you have a Genesis / Mega Drive run we would love to see it!

Are there any cool glitches with that version?
