- This is the full version of the speedrun movie, including the storyline.
I didn't cut the black frames between rooms because that will cut the music as well. To improve the movie fluency, I choose to keep the black frames.
Enjoy the movie!
Special Thanks to: benji104
His "illegal" speedrun makes a good reference to a "legal" speedrun.
You can see his PoP2 speedrun videos here:

When i was 5 years old, achiviement for me was reach the island and jump over the ship)
So was I. lol
Same here XD
ahhahahahaha Same here bro xd gg
Lollllll once I did that I was like... "yup, I'm good with life. What else is there to achieve?"
haha me too.. i thought i was the only one
The horse really you have to jump on the horse... I tried every other thing except that ... my 20 year old mystery is solved today ... I can die in peace now ...
Two words.
Bridge Skeleton
He cheated...
NIGHTMARE
@@saar144 yes, 14:05, he didn't fight.
It’s the biggest achievement 28 years ago. I hate this bridge.
Man, I forgot how difficult this game was! I never finished it so this was a treat to watch from start to finish. Very impressive skills! I really hated those floating heads back then. You deal with them so effortlessly. Thanks for this!
I have played a lot of games back in the day I am not sure I was able to ever complete anything except for maybe one or two. The whole principle of games in the past was that you would fail since originally they came from arcade machines where players are required to fail as much as possible for the machines to earn money. One this whole business has died out by the late of the 1990s, the games have become completable. The funny thing is that the principle of failure was so strong before that that even games like PoP that were never released in arcades were also made this way.
Believe it or not, if you play this game, you will see that your skills are better than years ago. Try it and you will realize how easy it is.
@@enerc2333 Definitely going to give it a go again! Thanks!
yes
The heads is all about timing, you have to learn the rhytm once you hit it, and then is just repeat it over and over until you kill it (sometimes you weaken it and goes away)...........the actual HARD part that you could screw the most was the jump onto the horse, once you screw one screen you have to restart the level all over again because there is no other way to jump.
00:35 i didn't know Robert Pattinson was famous at that time
Lmao I had the same thought haha.
Holy!!!!
You'll never see the Prince from the Aladdin TV show (90s one) in the same way again. He looks like Adam Driver!
Those flyying heads O.o
In the end, the witch who saw both of them was led to a new Prince of Persia 3 game but it was never made and released :(
Such nostalgia... I really loved the audio from the caves, it was really like an adventure in an ancient fable.
When i was little, the medusas heads scared the shit out of me
Emanuel Martins truth.
totally truth, when i have 12 i discovery the wrong way the blue flame xD
my english lvl in that way was like a newbie so after several trys for some reason i just close to the flame and then go back, the door exit was open xD
@@antilogis6204 in 30 yo, so i finish the game 18 ya.
Same
you're lying if you say they don't scare you now >.>
Back in 1996, with a new 286 PC this was my first game. Just loved the graphics and the gameplay.Back then there were no forums so you just had to figure out the puzzles on your own. Went back to play PoP-1
Man !!! You kept the storyline !!! That's so great !! Finally a speedrun that worth looking !!!
dscy
dscy
I completely forgot about that "tiny prince" at 30:00. And this was one of my most played games at that time, I think I was 12 years old. Still remember that eerie last level to this day though. Thanks for bringing back good memories.
Probably the most memorable game sound track EVER
It's very memorable, but not that memorable
It's wonderful with headphones. The rhythm is great!
Most impressive speedrun mate. You had me on the edge of my seat multiple times. Now I wish to replay this game the way you did.
I was AMAZED by the intro, was the first time I heard a video game speak like a human!! I know it wasn't the first of history, but it was the first for me. Really nice memories.
I give that honor to Mortal Kombat 2. Mortal Kombat 2 came out for arcades in 1992 which had Shao Kahn speaking was amazing! This game came out in 1993
You must have been living under a fucking rock. Even NES had games with speech.
Mine too, when I saw for the first time with a Sound blaster I was completely amazed
@@jedimojojojo1603 Chuck Yeager flight simulator game did it in 1991 though.
I could never get away with that ship in the beginning
I never knew the game is this serious 😆
I think if you had a pirated version that ship moved away too fast to catch. Naughty naughty.
@@cassidywest5539 hahaha i did and it could be caught XD
@@cassidywest5539 when you get to the sandy part with tiles in the quicksand if you enter that door the game litteraly asks you to name what numbers certain symbols mean. and that information you could only find on a legit copy of the game. if you answered wrong the game litteraly closed itself.
Really 😂
"Don't hurt him...
...he's just a poor, mad beggar."
UH...WOW
"Don't worry dear, he won't get far..." Jumps like a maniac! 😂
Yes.. it seems that the ruin levels are the most players' "childhood trauma"...
Lol, no childhood trauma. It's the god damn bain of my existence....
Love this game!
Thre trauma was all over the game. The ruins were just an elimination stage who couldnt endure it
This game was my childhood! I remember buying the demo on floppy disk for $5 which allowed you to play the first stage. I played it so much that i learned how to run past most of the guards too, and eventually I got a hold of the full game with that funky box and everything! So very thankful the cinematics are not skipped!! I loved this game sooo much!!!
My parents played this game but got stuck at the horse. After several years I played it and found out from me what to do. This was ages ago too. Still feeling nostalgic and proud for finishing it. 🤩
30:40 2 soldiers: dude. he's behind you!
left solder : LOL the f do u mean, he' behind me?
2 soldiers : HE'S BEHIND YOU!!!
(prince leaps)
left solder : (turns around) oh fk me
I reached the giant spider, and stucked there for my whole childhood T___T
The soundtrack to this game is unforgettable. One of the reasons it still holds up.
Yea Like Elementery school Nostolgia with bleeding eardrums
now, i have just realized, how close i was to finish this game ~ 18 years ago. my nemesis was that at squeezing trap at 28:00, i died there countless times... finally, i made it through and reached the next level, but that was the end for me. anyway, well done, sir.
i´m still obessesed for this game!
It has very bad graphics.
@@astat1 when this game was released these graphics were considered realistic
@@gaytxpreet4658 Realistic? This is cartoonish. But it has good graphics, but not realistic.
@@1989Ezal realistic as in very good
@@astat1 f you bro
I cant believe, u didnt fighat against the "faces" , u just avoided them... amazing!!
Myself at the age of 10 and my 3 younger brothers of age 7 and 8 hit the game till the end.After almost 2 years of struggle.But that was really an acheivemnt.we actually fought wid each enemy the only thing which we were not able to crack was the duplicate jafar stage.When he had to turn left right several times and the shadow ran.That was the only thing we took help from a collegue.And that was illogical also to clear because there was no clue for it.
I dont know if this is universal, or just me but this game looks so beautiful, yet the first one is much more known thsn this one?
the story was pretty recycled in 2 and yeah 2 had more investment on art. 1 was iconic for being the first of its kind.
thank you for this, couldn't keep my nostalgia tears
"Prince! Your bride is dying. Waste no more time!"
Yes because the prince here has clearly been smelling roses and not running from homicidal skeletons and guards
BRO ACTULLY 🤯🤯
this is such a great nostalgia game.
good job finishing it, i never managed to pass all those flying heads :)
Guy Snowy Same here. I did pass a few of them, but never managed to get as far as the ruined throne room with the heirloom sword. Well played indeed. That probably took quite a long time of trial and error.
Guy Snowy They're very difficult at the beginning, you've to learn to stab at the right moment and distance when they move towards you.
An amazing attack of nostalgia, suddenly got me
Wow, the quality of visuals and cut-scenes are amazing for 1993 platformer! I mean it!
Thanks! For a couple of days, thought I'd dreamt this game in my head
I remember playing this game over and over again...couldn't get past the quick sand.
Same here! LOL XD
bulbadox I entered to the cave and got stuck there
that cave can be confusing :D
indeed
in the entrance to this cave their used to be a puzzle sort of thing.., i always used click on random pictures and get inside the cave, till to the date i donno how that puzzle worked. does any one know??? but glad though, clearing this cave was always easy to me....
Before there was parkour there were princesses.
yeah, definitely!
this video is a piece of art! Thanks!
34:23 i dont know how I discovered that when I was playing this game when I was a child
So the old witch and her army of floating heads destroyed the foreign palace and killed the Prince's parents? Her S mark is all over the ruins. I guess the series was rebooted before the Prince could truly avenge their deaths. Rescue the wifey first, then worry about the 'rents...
Amazing. Thank you so much for this. Such memories...
+RedGallardo He, Who Would Steal The Flame, Must Die!.... =3..
Screaming Fox
Genius puzzle =)
@benji104 Thanks for the comment. The prince could not jump at 7:14 since he would fall into the lava pit that way; the sword-trick is feasible at 9:51(Unfortunately, this improvement won't affect the final score in HoF), but it doesn't work at 11:52. "Time 58" in the HoF means the time left. (75 minutes left at Cavern level 3)
my biggest congratulations ever. and a small tear drop shed after 20 years i played it as a super small kid. wow, i could only reach the flame and then i was stuck... till now. good to see the happy ending :-)
Prince please save the world
35:56 later
Prince : Its done
1st time watching version 2. DOS was the BOSS
Looking at all these comments, am really glad to say that me and my cousin (aged 11 and 9) did managed to discover the trick behind using the flame to destroy Jaffar and win the game - way back in 1994, out of pure accidental luck after gruelling hours of try and error of course. As to how did we even ended up in level 12, it was all thanks to my programming expert uncle who managed to change a few codes to start the game with 20 hit-points, and with a walkthrough guide up till level 11 (trust me, even with the walkthrough it was still tough as shit). 🤣🤣🤣
...the sultan offered him riches, but the stranger requested just one reward (because the riches would soon follow anyway).
memories ♥️
very cool how this game is animated to look like a story book.
Very good speedrun ;) congrats
i always hated that flying head part xD
21:50 almost dead... nice recovery...
thank you for all those memories
Man this brings back memories when I was in 6th grade. I was so good that the 8th grades would ask me for advice on how to best it. In fact I was the first one to beat this game in my school. I can't remember everything. I enjoyed seeing you play. thanks my friend.
I remember spending too much time searching for all the Life Bottles. if I do remember correctly you would lose life for taking a long time. not sure why. Can anyone correct me or answer my doubt. Man it's been a long time. jajaja
I always got stuck at the end with the shadow prince. I knew I was close to the finale.
what the hell, what is that dance at the end to convert into the blue guy? I reached all the way there and always died I guess I missed some instructions somewhere
LOL you're damn right. The snakes and the "medusas" as I'd call them were generally traumatic for a 7 years old xD. Took many years to beat the game eventually. Great speed run movie!
This is exactly the kind of game that would have given me nightmares as a kid. I know the first one did, and this one is even worse with the imagery.
There's something very dark and creepy about these old games. I think it's the music combined with the jump scares - and 31:40 you have to admit is pretty creepy the way the guy starts to worship the Prince.
Winston S. I always got scared when the ghost heads screamed and the way they looked omg, even when the prince fell into the boiling puddle thing!
@@aliyer6596 You still don't know that was lava?
What a ride! Thanks friend
21: 22
I think you just entered the wrong washroom.
no wonder they are all screaming
+SherlockT1985 lol
xD
But their reaction is to wait in line to suck on him… that’s not very realistic.
21:22
God this takes me back. Played this game loads in my youth, never finished it that fast though, not even close.
I tried so many time to jump on that ship in the beginning !! hahah
Castlevania: Our Medusa Heads are the most frustrating
Prince of Persia 2: Hold my beer
Awesome speed run
Please More POP games like this that should be awesome.
Yep. Someone should make the POP3 about that witch and the armies of darkness, which Jordan et al. never managed to do.
30:52 LOL
Gianfranco Micoli 31:53 lol
That was me playing this game.
@@rich1051414 Youve come this far? Respect.
look at the health bar lol ! i would never figure out what you have to do at the very end! well i stuck at the island anyway didnt know how to get inside the cave HAHA
Man, you are AWESOME
This game still gives me the feel of mystery. I think I can never finish such a game of combining puzzle and action..
If you’re wondering, some of the notes are supposed to sound off, since it’s in an Arabic scale /Quarter Tone Scale temperament which has notes that are different than the 12 tone scale we use commonly.
At the beginning of this I didn't know when or why i stopped playing this as a child. Only I knew, I didn't make it. But now, when I realised that backround at 34:00, my heart skipped 2 beats. There it was. Hours, days, I don't know, maybe even weeks of hopeless running from the left to the right and so on, doing that lvl again and again and didn't realise, that is an option to go up from exactly that position and be literally seconds away from that happy-ending. Great memories though. Amazing times with my friends, when fighting who will pass those sections first, helping each other, reading signs on walls, wondering, if they are clues to wthat to do there, cooperating... Yes. I see it all again now. All those memories, moments of tears, anger, joy, happiness.... Those times.... :-3
One of the first games I experienced on my uncle's 486. Still of my favs!
This is the only game i saw my dad play, and me and my brothers came to the end, then i remember my dad wanted to try and he wiped us lmao. I was like 3 or 4 years old. I thought the game was really scary, but so interesting.
0.40 The guy looks like a polygon version of Edward Cullen from Twilight
Incredibly hard, incredibly awesome
oh shjt that fancy dance at the end, how the hell anyone suppose to find out that shjt to beat him?
In one awkward moment, where I don't understand what I must do, I start to play left-right the arrows and ...voila!
This game made my childhood awesome
WOW, i remember this game. i had to delete it from my pc because i was stuck at the horse thing and needed the room for something else. some years later this game was still in my head, and dont know how i thought, why didnt i just jump over the statue? whyyyy?
why did it come to my mind suddenly after so long? i was sure then this was the solution of this stage... even i did not longer have a copy of that game. you know that back then it was not that easy. internet wasnt even a public thing. sorry for the story, we are getting old!
same same same same here...i got stuck at that horse.., i regret thinking why i dint jump from there. all these years...that horse haunted me....now finally i kno the answer.., gosh!! i feel soo releived
ı wont tell u. its the secret of life for me
They don't make 'em like this anymore...
such a game and such a childhood Excitement .... Still can feel the feeling when i used to see that chopped heads. didnt even knew how to fight them ... TIMING is all in this game.
He kept the black screens for the music too. That man is genius !
The level the castle, ancient ruins, was very impressive and very creepy.
But this was a good game.
It is good to see you void the opportunity to each sword fights.
Nor Lyana Mohd Ramli that's the spirit of the speedrun =D
that screen at 11:40 is the bane of my childhood
Remember those flying witch heads in several desert levels? I believe the witch with the crystal ball is responsible for unleashing *all* those heads after the Prince.
This looks brutal!
Thank you for the information.
This looks even harder than Prince of Persia 1!
yes
this game was fucking awesome ! good childhood memories !
ROFL, I had alota fun of you bypassing all those flying heads. I had hard time combating them)))
I couldn't even reach the ship for years. This is a horror game to me as a child.
This is like grandaddy of parkour games.
I spent many, many hours playing this - Playing the MAC PowerPC version of course!! Also spent many hours playing PoP1.
Amazing!
31:20 Who else got stuck for life without knowing what to do with the god-dang flame?
Ignacio Ortega Piwonka I did for the longest. Finally figured it out. Just now after decades did I realize I was literally seconds away from beating the game but gave up.
Lol. I was.
That jumping on the ship was way too difficult
This game was so bloody hard!
Imagine the terrifying thought of running away from these skeletons but you didn't step on one of these platforms to activate the door mechanic and then struggle for your life to escape.
Especially on the bridge and another 100 skeletons are after you.
Imagine that.
Big time nostalgia
There was a time;
When creators weren't idiots;
Where enough creative freedom ruled the gaming industry;
So Disney couldn't piss on stories too similar to Aladdin.
Notice how the good guys look white as snow while the villain looks like Osama bin Ladin.
Bogdan Cvetkovic you know, americans…
Good guys and the bad guys all look Persian to me.
Also Known As the skeletons be white tho
