You can read Jordan Mechner's journal from the time that he was developing the original Prince of Persia. It's one of the most fascinating devlogs/creation sagas I'e ever read: http://jordanmechner.com/old-journals/page/11/

That together with Andrew Braybrook's journals on the development of Paradroid are among my most favorite developer stories from the golden age of computer games. Does anyone know if there are more reports like that available online?

My first thought was, cool! I still have my Commodore 64, and it still works (tested a few weeks ago). Second thought was, damn! How the heck am I going to get that on a floppy to load it on my Commodore?

Provided that you have an LPT port. http://sta.c64.org/xcables.html

No, now you just need a USB port. I developed the ZoomFloppy to read/write old formats from modern computers. This way we can archive bits that might disappear otherwise.
