when the author mentioned playing prince of persia on a pc-xt, i assumed this was some kind of ai-generated nonsense
but no
they actually did port the game to the lowest-end hardware available in 1989. you could actually play prince of persia on an 8088 with a cga card!
Just about every PC game in 1989 ran on an XT with CGA.
The XT came out in 1983, it was a real piece of shit by 1989 standards
Not to mention, the PC was a pretty, uh, "challenging" platform for video games. It amazes me someone managed to port something as graphically sophisticated as PoP to an 8088 with CGA.
