I think most of these aren't really specific tricks or bugs, even though you're playing nicely there.

The second but last (first in level 13) is clearly a bug. ;)
It's the overflow bug described here.

By the way, your taste in songs seems to be somewhat similar to mine.
If you add music to a video, please write under it what the title of the song is. :)

What you're doing here is clearly a specific trick/bug though.

What did you do there after pressing left twice?
I tried pressing right after it, but then the prince runs back through the gate...

The small videos are HTML5 videos that I'm embedding with the "ogvvideo" BBCode tag.
First, I record a video of Prince of Persia with DOSBox (howto here).
Then, I reencode the video with ffmpeg2theora (ffmpeg2theora -v 10 -c 1 video.avi).
Then, this is optional, I create a screenshot of the first frame with mplayer (mplayer -vo png video.avi).
Then, I rename and upload the video.ogv and 00000001.png files.
Finally, I embed them with the following BBCode (note that you should not add ".ogv"):

Code: Select all

[ogvvideo]http://website.com/video[/ogvvideo]
An easier way to embed videos on this forum is, as you've done before, by using the "youtube" BBCode tag.
To embed this YouTube video, for example, one would use:

Code: Select all

If I walk left twice, the prince isn't passing the gate.
If I walk left twice, then quickly turn right, the prince passes the gate but immediately runs back through the gate.
What to do, exactly...? :P

I guess the most used trick is: if you press down when a loose floor lands on you, it won't hurt you. (But only if you won't bump into a wall.)

Another trick with jumping from loose floors:
In mk set 3, level 1, there is a room with the following tiles: wall-floor-loose-empty-empty-empty-floor, and you need to jump from the left side to the right side.
Go left as much as you can, turn right, run forward once, then immediately jump forward while holding shift.

Yeah, you can watch two videos when you have to jump in that way.

Here they are:
