Below are the solutions that I intended, plus (at the top) a video with the intro sequence.

Some sections differ from yaqxsw's playing.
See, for example, the two solutions for level 10 that don't use the overflow bug.

[Edit: Available on request.]

Looks like you found a new glitch at the end of level 9. [when entering the exit door]
I wonder what causes it to happen...

Level 04

I wonder what causes it to happen...

Did you/we ever figure out what causes it?
I can't even recreate it...

Ah yes, I remember looking into this, but I never posted my results.

To reproduce this bug on a level made from scratch, you also need the *other* level door, where the prince starts.
The prince actually enters that level door.
In fact you don't even need the level door in room 2 to reproduce this bug.

The rule is that the prince can't enter a level door if the the starting room is shown.
But apparently, you can enter a level door in the starting room if the it's is near the left edge of the room.

Wow, that's a huge find!
Thanks for sharing this.

(You meant room 1 (or, I guess, '2nd room') here. The prince starts in room 2.)

[Norbert]

In he spoiler tab below is an overview of mods in which it may be possible to enter the level entrance door after opening the exit door.
It will contain many 'false' hits (and does not include mods with a renamed LEVELS.DAT), but given the amount of entries, most likely this should contain at least one true hit in addition to the already discovered and discussed 0000127 (= Micro Palace).
I will soon [Edit: Done.] post a video of this new trick in the DOS tricks thread.

[4DPlayer]

I finally finished the game nicely with good time left.
I recorded the whole game and posted videos on YouTube.
Here is Level 1 and 2:


Other videos will come soon. Most levels I took the life potions but sometimes there was a harder trick or I just wanted to leave the level quick after dying too many times
The hardest level was 11 with the guard you have to put down and then kill on the button which brought about some rageful moments. This mod required thinking, trick knowledge but was also amusing and interesting. Thanks to Norbert for the mod!

[SuavePrince]

Excellent my good friend...

[4DPlayer]

Excellent my good friend...

Thank you. Today I will upload levels 3 and 4 with that confusing Life Potion in Level 4.

[Norbert]

Yeah, my old mods are too difficult.
The new one I'm making has easier levels.

[4DPlayer]

Yeah, my old mods are too difficult.
The new one I'm making has easier levels.

Well, for experienced players, they are more regular than hard.
But, I have to admit, easy levels sounds good
Here is my recordings of Levels 3 and 4.
Level 3

Level 4 with the invisible gate and wall turning into mirror. I wonder how those two were done...
