    So, as far as obscure questions go this one takes the cake. But it’s fairly workoutable and fair-fodder for Boiledbeans, so here goes.

    What’s so special about the circle?

      The circle represents the best of the collected works of Jake Gyllenhal. It contains

      SOURCE CODE
      for the original
      PRINCE OF PERSIA


    3. The “recently rediscovered” source code for Jordan Mechner’s original Apple II version of Prince of Persia

      Hmm, this is just a guess, but:
      sealed originals of Prince of Persia and Karateka around it, maybe those disks in the circle have something to do with that. Are they the first copies of the games or something like that?

      The original Apple2 source code of Prince of Persia. PoP will be back in its original form as soon as Mechner figures out how to pull data off of the ancient disks and handle the 6502 processor code.

      The original source code for Prince of Persia which was first written for the Apple II. The games visible in the image (Prince of Persia and Karateka) were both made by Jordan Mechner, which gave me a big clue as to what to look for, and lo and behold, the same image is on his blog front page.
