Prince of Persia 2 (Macintosh) — self-hostable web engine (no game data)

Prince of Persia 2 — The Shadow & the Flame (Macintosh), web engine

A self-hostable build of the browser recompilation of the Macintosh Prince of
Persia 2. This bundle is the engine only — it contains no game data. You
supply the data yourself from your own retail copy (see SELF-HOSTING.md), so
nothing copyrighted is redistributed here.

Play the hosted version (data included) at: https://mac-recomp.github.io/pop2/

What's inside (static files — drop them on any host)

• index.html, pop2.js, pop2.wasm — the engine (~12 MB)
• embed.html — lightweight click-to-load poster for embedding
• embed-code.html — <iframe> snippet generator
• SELF-HOSTING.md — full instructions
• favicons + og-image

Why it's easy to host

• 100% static — no backend, nothing to build to run it.
• No COOP/COEP / cross-origin-isolation headers (no SharedArrayBuffer),
  unlike most WASM games — works on any static host (Netlify, Vercel, Pages, S3,
  itch.io, nginx…). Just serve .wasm as application/wasm (most hosts do this).

Providing the game data

Prepare pop2-data.tar.gz once from your retail copy (instructions in
SELF-HOSTING.md), host it with a direct link, then point the page at it:

index.html?data=https://your-host/pop2-data.tar.gz

…or let visitors drop the file / paste a link on the built-in drop-zone. The
browser can't unpack a raw StuffIt/RAR — that one-time prep is a desktop step.
