I don't know that I'd ever play it, but I thought this was an interesting article at Joystiq.com:
If you're a programmer, you may find inspiration in the source code for the original Apple II version of Prince of Persia. 23 years after the game's release, and about two weeks after finding his old floppies, Jordan Mechner has posted the source code to GitHub, where it's freely accessible.The copying took place at a "megacopy" party, assisted by digital archivist Jason Scott using various modified computer hardware. We're glad people like Mechner exist who can do things like "write Prince of Persia," and we're glad people like Scott exist who can figure out how to preserve this material for computers that aren't 35 years old. We're here to ... appreciate the effort? We're totally doing our part!
I guess it's my opinion. After playing it through with some friends to a certain point, I tried playing it alone, since no one else plays it anymore. It was a chore and I haven't touched it since. I guess your mileage may vary on this. And since he'll not likely touch a co-op experience, he may not miss it.
Just not my cup 'o tea there.
Its really does look insane. Might have to not let my FPS woes ....wait.... never mind, Ill never have a system that can play it.

Your buddies miss you on Gears and Tiger Woods...
