    The following websites provide the tools and software we use to play these games:
    www.emaculation.com/doku.php/s... (Emulator)
    macintoshgarden.org/ (Games)
    As mentioned in the video, at level 11 I accidentally switch to an older save, where I was 3-4 minutes behind and had 3 less hearts. I did not want to play levels 11 and 12 again so I just went with it.

    I am 56 years old and I have just watched the whole video, it is incredible the memories I have of this game. I can say that it was the first game I could finish in my life and believe me it cost me more than 3 months. I feel a great nostalgia about this game because they were my first steps in knowing that it was a computer.
    I really just returned to my youth.

Someone said it was a way our brain keeps us safe -- that impulse makes us imagine what it is like to jump down, and imagining it ensures a strong emotional response. That response is fear and apprehension, making sure we don't fall down.

    I was only 11 years old when the game came out and I thought it had the greatest graphics in the world and for the time that it came out, it pretty much did have the most realistic graphics. The way that the body moved and the way the character interacted with its environment, the seamless aesthetics, the compelling engagement with other characters. This game was literally a major part of my life growing up and one of a kind. We had this and Doom at the same time and as cool as Doom was, this was light years ahead with graphics and it came out a year before Doom did.

      @@ivankeskic4404 absolutely. No question about it. Doom was far less superior with its 2D scan overly mapping compared to Red Orb's actual 3D computer graphics rendering, a much cleaner and smoother and seamless environment. It was the first virtual 3D rendering in the world and it blew Doom way out of the water because Doom was literally just a stop motion graphics overlay. I'm a huge Doom fan and I actually have known one of the creators for my entire life so I have major respect for their creations and they certainly have their place. He is my mother's best friends husband so he's quite literally my uncle and He let my brother and I beta test Wolfenstein 3D, Quake and Doom where he worked at i.d. These games were a huge part of my life growing up and spend a majority of my summers at their campus or whenever my mom needed a vacation and wanted to see her best friend. Since we lived so far away, we would spend a good week or two at their house and my uncle would take all of us kids into the studio and we woke hang out with all the devs and they would link all of the PC's so we could play a huge "multiparty bat file game" as they called it of Wolfenstein 3D. Yes Doom and Wolfenstein had groundbreaking immersive fps environments but as far as actual computer graphics, Rd Orb beat i.d. to the punch. In fact, I would spend many hours in the i.d. think lab playing Prince of Persia and if you go take a look at Quake II you will see why they let me play so many hours of Prince of Persia in their think lab. Looking back now at least that's what I tell myself because they were playing it and watching my brother and I play it quite a bit.

Meaning they were in the studio and they had clay mation figures of each character that they would map out and manipulate then scan for each movement. Then they would then overly this into 2D graphics. For the 80's it was great theatrical fun to see in movies, but it was a quickly dying gimmick with the invention of computer graphics 3D CGI which was being used in the Prince of Persia game. It was much cleaner and more seamless even without it being less immersive.

    Only thing I never liked about this game was the character controls could sometimes feel clunky, like when you stopped and started running, or when you were repositioning yourself to climb up or jump, it just felt like labored slightly, like you were controlling a fat man or a small truck on some kind of grid, that is the only valid critique I can make of an otherwise masterpiece and I suspect there was a technical reason is was like that.

    I bought my first computer in 1999 and this was one of the first games installed along with Dave Dangerous and a few others, I have spent countless nights training myself and completing this game. I was a hero for my younger brother and my nephews and nieces. They use to surround me while I play the game.
    After completing it, all the keystrokes have gone into my muscles memory. After genuinely completing it I have learned shortcuts to jump levels etc (I guess Ctrl+L) was the shortcut for that.
    Later I tried to install this on my laptop but it did not work, not sure if I need to get another Windows 98 or virtual box to run it.

      @EagleTas Před 5 lety +41

      The animation technique you're describing is called rotoscoping and is done by drawing the sprites over the footage frame-by-frame. What's impressive to me isn't that the animation is so smooth in 1992 - the tech was there by then (we started getting 3D games like DOOM the year after) - it was that it was smooth and also controlled incredibly well. It achieved this by mapping your movements to large tiles so it was easy to anticipate when to hold or let go of the keys. Other games at the time that incorporated realistic rotoscoped animation felt floaty, unresponsive and awkward in comparison. Lord of the Rings on SNES comes to mind (although it came out in 1994).

    The intro music sends chills down my spine, nostalgia is the most powerful experience in the world.

    This is the first time, see Prince of Persia, 1st game, on this quality, (WOW!!!) very beautiful. When i was 11 years old, i played this game, a lot of times, on PC with CGA monitor.

      it is only that if you already played like for 2 days. this game design is maded in a way that you dont finish it in time and have to replay everthing again faster until you get in perfection on the moves just to play it to its ends

    Played it on an Intel 486 with DOS and black and white monitor. Also, the prince only wore white garbs in that version. Ah! the good old days...

      This is the same prince model as in prince of persia 2, so I assume it's a "remaster" (lol) that came later

      Coitus certainly happened after the hug. That's why the mouse ran over to them. He wants to watch them make love.

    I beat this Mac version over 20 years ago and just started playing the DOS version in the same CD-ROM (The Prince of Persia Collection). It never occurred to me that this Mac version had its graphics and prince sprite totally redone to be more Persian compared to the blond boy dressed in white in the DOS version. This is a classic and beatable game and is highly recommended to everyone!
