I remember when my late father was playing this game, with our old pc win 98.. this game was so hard that my father have to tried many times, but I remember when he finished this game for the first time his face is beamed with a proud smile..
An amazing thing: I used to play this game obsessively, completing it numerous times, around 25 years ago. Since then I haven't touched it once. Until last week. Lo and behold, every pixel of it is still intact in my muscle memory. I don't even have to think to finish it.
I played this alot back in the day, never came past the first level though.
+Izak80 same here

I played this when I was young, at night. I encountered the invincible skeleton in the 3rd level and I was so freaked out, I never touched the game again.
+qsqua Yeah, it was a difficult game for sure. The old games where alot more difficult back in the day. Nowadays the Dark Souls series is considered difficult, just compare that to the games of old like Rush n Attack, Punch Out and so on.
Lol same... And that Time i was 5 years old
Im playin it right now and i still cant pass level 1
This game, since early times was so hypnotic in how fluid the sprite animation is, i could watch for hours and it wouldn't bother me.
It was one of if not the earliest use of rotorscoping in a video game. Check out a video on how Mechner filmed his brother running to make the animations!
I remember when I used to play this game when I was 4. I never made it past this 7:00 jump because I didn't know that we could hold on to ledges. If I did I would probably have cleared it. But the fact that I cleared almost 2 levels of this game at that age still fascinates me. Good ol' days!
Same thing with me when I was 6, playing Super Metroid XD.
Thank you, i was stuck right at 7:00 and I couldn't jump it back. This, saves my gameplay.
I have just watched the end. Now i can die in peace.
hahahhaaha i never crossed level 1
Same here 😂
Best game ever played on a crappy PC machine. Love it.
***** Doom didn't run on a "crappy PC" back in the day.
***** DooM 2 of course:)
This game used to give me creepy vibes. But still I loved it.
Also I find the whole shadow thing super cool. Having to sheath your sword to "defeat" it is such a powerful moment.
Amazing game.
What if you kill your own shadow? Do you die as well?
@@ffarkasm indeed, if I remember correctly, each time you hit it, it's actually you who takes the damage
I completed this game back in the day and I still regard it as a pivotal game that goes to show how crucial gameplay and level design really trump graphics.
1:50 Man, look at the small number of people involved in this classic. You could fit them around 1 lunch table, or 2 cars! I envy that about the 80s and 90s.
Ah the nostalgia... I remember when my sisters and I would watch my dad play this game on one of our first computers. So many good times.
the animation is very impressive for its time..
The developers used a technique called rotoscoping. It's not hard to do, however it's a very tedious process.
thank u, my record was much lower as well, but that was about 10 years ago... this video is more a walkthrough than a display of top record, therefore i tried going to most of usefull places and captured intro & cinematics :D im glad ppl still like this game even after so much times passed :P
9 years ago lol
22:08 I used to love this mouse so much...
Just a cameo in Prince of Persia 2, too bad !
this is so satisfying
@@Sanchezskilla23 shut up
10:38 I only got 53 minutes to live? Let me chill first...
#YOLO, Princess. 😂
This brought so much memories...I was 13 when I first have a PC and this game in my room...took weeks before I got how to pass the level with the mirror thing, that wicked shadow broke my heart!!!
The toothy glass chopping thingy always stir my bowels up side down and I always running out of time, so I never get the chill princess...damn!
Thanks for this!
I love how fluid the game movements are
31:50 Prince: "Screw that. I am out."
there goes my child hood
35:35 "I'm gonna save the princ... OH SHIT that was close!"
My childhood.
this was so awesome. The animation of the prince was so fluid.
That heart attack at 35:36 xD
Wow
So true 😂
at last i've seen all. This is my game when i was in junior and never manage till the end, you're really skilled. god bless you
It's nice to finally have some closure for this game
One of the greatest games of all time.....that backgroud music used to scare me to death....😂😂
I was worried for you at 28:30!
+David Scahill maybe it's a good idea to keep drinking the right ones instead of loosing the life :)
Wow even doing it perfectly, you only have 12 minutes to spare. This game was Brutal!
such a masterpiece... it was so enjoyable to watch
Those fukin chompers man.... scared the shit out of me every time. Always got cut in half 🤦🏽♀️
I remember, when I was a child in middle 90's my dad showed my this game. Since this time I'm big fan of all Prince of Persia games.
Galen Marek Mine got me playing POP3D (it was a demo) and it held me in awe ever since. Been playin all of em
I used to play for hours with this game! Brings back a lot of memories from the old college days of the 90s. I never got past level 12 😭. Prince of Persia 2 was just as intense and fun!
My childhood how can I 4get this game
Wonderful memories
My cousin used to play we use to watch as kids
He finished we all filled with joy
This plot reminds me a lot to Aladdin's movie
In the beginning I almost cried
I spent hours in the computer lab in high school trying to beat this game, because I suck at it. Took me months. Looking back, it'd have been better spent doing other things. But I did enjoy the game.
+smurfyday i played throug it in one evening and since that, never played again. funny but after a while just a waste of time. it's the same with youtube clips, there are better things to do ;)
it was funny because we didn't know there was a savegame function.
Love the moment at 14:35 where you just ditch the guard. Priceless.
Loved this game but never got past the first level. Missing my childhood. Thanks for posting?. :D
How can u love the game if u never got past level 1?? 😂
It is funny to lure the enemies into the horizontal cutters.
With horizontal you mean vertical, right?
lol, yes vertical. I posted the comment on my phone was not albe to edit it :D
theres a 1.4 patch for the game and they wont walk into the cutters...
Fred Derpst bruh that comment was from 3 years ago
Dear God how time flies, I remember this game and drama when I was playing it...
Prince of Persia, Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil and Virtua Fighter are my favorite game franchises of the 90's!
Terka Kodetová From what I remember, you had to stab with the sword AND advance at the same time. The skeleton doesn't suffer loss of life when cut by a sword, but it does retreat. By advancing yourself, you force it to change sides. It's automatic. Once its back is to the falling tile direction, you can stab it and advance each time the skeleton retreats. (In other words, stab, and only when it falls back, step forward. Repeat.)
Edit: Oh, I think you had to block-stab-forward (up key), in that quick sequence, to prevent the skeleton from just retreating, and force it to change sides.
At 20:20, I think you could tiptoe across the room, so the guard doesn't realize you come up behind him.
OMG how do u remember the whole game and finish it within an hour?? i have trouble in passing first level and u finished all levels in ease.awesome dude keep it up.
Hardest game I ever played as a kid. I couldn't even pass the first level; just couldn't get a hang of the controls. Played it again today for the first time in decades and made it to the second level after a lot of frustration. So I decided to watch a playthrough to see what I was missing. Nope, not gonna try to finish this one! Brutal.
Thanks for the upload. You have good skill in this game. My record was around 25 minutes (faster than you), but I didn't play it with your finesse and completionist objective in mind. Considering that you drank pretty much all the upgrade potions, you did very well.
Brings back so many fond memories from my childhood.
;-)
This was the hardest game of all time. U made it look so easy
@@thomasjtalbot82 virus
@@thomasjtalbot82 it's a suspicious link
Nostalgia my favourite game as a kid on the amiga. Took me ages to get past that bridge bit on level 12, just ran and jumped off the edge out of frustration, couldn't believe it when the bridge materialized.
I jumped out of frustration at the level below it but there was no bridge to save me lol and I fell off that top level when fighting mirror guy and there was no bridge either 💀 hate that bridge
Because of this game i asked my parent to buy soundblaster card.. Hhehehehe.. Nice sound effect and songs...
Man i dont know that this game was prince of persia. I used to play this game when I was a kid. Now i know that I have completed each and every prince of persia
What an archaic masterpiece, the game is definitely one of the best games of all time, still the sword plays, with all simplicity, is more satisfying and exhaustive than most of the current sword and gunplay, the ability you can parry your opponents and the presence of your deceitful should make this that full-bodied that even I sometime play this game and spend 30 minutes of my precious time to defeat Jaffar and save Sultan's daughter. A very huge thanks to Jordan Mechner and those who care about Persian rich culture and religion!
damn! this brings back many good childhood memories. Ik remember playing this on my brothers computer. Good times !
The animations on the game are so awesome!! Hair and cloth physics(not really though) were there!
started from the bottom now we are here
Remember wanting to get a Sound Blaster Pro JUST for this game... ahh the memories.
Game of my childhood. When I was a little I never passed lv. 6, because I always didn't have enough time. (I had a version without quick saves or I didn't know I could save game)
Today I downloaded version with quick saves and for first time I completed the game. (within 46 minutes)
This game made my childhood miserable..literally..
me too hhhhhhhhhh
Best scene @ 13:04 :) I was stuck here for long when I played this game 14years ago.
Wowwww... as an 8 years old boy, so proud to liberate the princess
i played and finished this game when i was a kid... the only thing different is that i remember there was a room at the begining with all these potions where u have to choosr the correct ones
You're the man!
i used to play this game A LOT! with my brother in our first PC was a crappy old MS-DOS version with a black and white monitor! was the best pc ever!!
Nostalgia overload!!!
I feel excited. I only made it to the 3rd level because when I played it on my Atari (which is sound and well today), I was 6.
pixel animations in this were so good :P
How do you swap sides with the guards while fighting?
The economy under jaffar was so bad that even the palace itself was litteraly falling apart.
Which button is used to kill by knife?am not getting which button
I always think of those bottles when I'm drinking 😂
One of the classics of videogames.
First video game I ever laid my eyes upon. It was probably in 1990 and if so I was like 2 or 3.
I know every one knows this but watching this video i noticed how much Tomb Raider took inspiration from POP. The gameplay mechanics, the traps (spikes and blades) and going from a grey-ish invoriment (Dungeons and Caves) to a yellow/brown colored architecture (Palace and Ancient Greek). Thanks for sharing this gameplay video! :)
WTF 25 minutes is still amazing ....well done :P
I played this game when I was a child and I could not even pass the first level... it was so hard without any instructions!
omg nostalgia..
I still remember the cheat code..shift & L..with which v cud skip 7 levels..:D
Omg
I do the same 😂
Oh the feels ! I LOVE PoP !
good job. get your record time up at the beginning.. in the first level.. when you drop from the first tile,, you can skip the whole level by not getting the sword.
stand very close to the right of the screen where the first goon is and when he gets close enogh, run away and go around where you can skip him and pass the level..
Used to draw maps to learn the levels. Game was hard even with out the time limit. Time limit made it infernal as kid. But with the maps won it at last.
this game and the sequel were legendary
i was 7 back then. time flies.
I never seen and remember this game in a long time. This seems pretty so let me open DOSBox and play it :)
I remember at my computer class at school 🤣 i used to play it secretly...and when I return back home i start to play red alert an commandos
28:45 Woooow, that fight was lethal!
What's the purpose and/or symbolism of The Shadow thing? Any ideas?
Utku Hasan . The biggest fight is always with yourself.
The duality of man
And here I was thinking it was a glitch all this time.
I used to call him invisible man. Cause I was too little and dumb to acknowledge he was your shadow self!
He is the reflection, not shadow
Amazing game!! Never completed it though
that, and you, are awesome!
''Marry Jaffar or die'' back in the day when divorcing was not a trend
Bruh idk what her problem is. That Jaffar guy is probably loaded and has the nicest pink robes. The main character is some ex con who can't afford sleeves. This princess is really dumb
I think this game is the most reallistic in apparent weight and inertial characteristics of humans involved.
Can someone explain how he switches sides at 5:20? TIA
Prince of Persia and Chip's Challenge are some of the earliest examples of Ad-lib soundblaster in MS-DOS I know of.
best BGM suggestions? I watched it while AC Revelations OST: No Mistakes (track 12) played on repead. So satisfying
first time i played this game i was 12 years old on my Pentium 1 IBM in 1996 it was my first computer ever and i had prince of persia in it and the out put sound was from the speakers yes i had speakers tha time 80 wat and Windows 95 with the first internet explorer and Winup player ! i had also F1 vroom game Moto and my first game i bought was Tom raider 3 it was good days !! but i still can play all these games whenever i want thanks to emulators !
One real masterpiece , trought Jordan Mechner nevermore made some good stuff , PoP was one great and unique game ,
perhaps, itself is a genre "like as prince of persia. The game has good animations (ok rotoscopie) , Immersive and intuitive gameplay.
How do you fight like this? Or change sides with your opponent? I've never known what to do with this skeleton...
you must fight him until he pushes off the edge
Bro from where did u get it?
this brings back memories :) man i have not play this for 15 years :O can someone know where can i download this game?
My favourite game as a kid. Does anyone know where I can get it??
I miss my childhood.....
Hi, Tourniquet. I'm going to soon review Prince of Persia on my video game review show but I'm having trouble with getting game play footage on my own. Would you be willing to allow me to use this video for the game play sections as long as I credit you?
why are your levels different from mine? im playing the pc dos version
played this game for years, now i found out about the invisible briedge and that i was a minute about to finished xp
