Everyone needs to mourn Prince in their own way. At Mashable, Adam Rosenberg tracked a 22-year-old CD-ROM game called Prince Interactive, which contains the world of Prince and allows you to wander around in it.
Rosenberg had to pull out a 14-year-old laptop to actually play the game, but once he got it running, it was worth it.
The game’s premise is simple: “0+> INTERACTIVE is an interactive experience revealing 0+> and his music.” Rosenberg’s journey takes him to Prince’s bedroom, Prince’s closet and through a series of puzzles that help him collect pieces of the 0+> symbol that Prince was using as his name at the time.

Rosenberg patiently explored much of the game's world, and has many more beautiful moments to share, including the contents of Prince's secret safe.
