When i was 5 years old, achiviement for me was reach the island and jump over the ship)

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 ...

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 :(

Two words. Bridge Skeleton

00:35 i didn't know Robert Pattinson was famous at that time

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!

Those flyying heads O.o

Man !!! You kept the storyline !!! That's so great !! Finally a speedrun that worth looking !!!

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.

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

Such nostalgia... I really loved the audio from the caves, it was really like an adventure in an ancient fable.

Probably the most memorable game sound track EVER

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

When i was little, the medusas heads scared the shit out of me

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.

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!!!

Yes.. it seems that the ruin levels are the most players' "childhood trauma"...

I could never get away with that ship in the beginning I never knew the game is this serious 😆

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. 🤩

"Don't worry dear, he won't get far..." Jumps like a maniac! 😂

@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)

I reached the giant spider, and stucked there for my whole childhood T___T

"Don't hurt him... ...he's just a poor, mad beggar." UH...WOW

The soundtrack to this game is unforgettable. One of the reasons it still holds up.

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.

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 cant believe, u didnt fighat against the "faces" , u just avoided them... amazing!!

thank you for this, couldn't keep my nostalgia tears

this video is a piece of art! Thanks!

Amazing. Thank you so much for this. Such memories...

34:23 i dont know how I discovered that when I was playing this game when I was a child

Wow, the quality of visuals and cut-scenes are amazing for 1993 platformer! I mean it!

1st time watching version 2. DOS was the BOSS

Before there was parkour there were princesses.

Thanks! For a couple of days, thought I'd dreamt this game in my head

this is such a great nostalgia game. good job finishing it, i never managed to pass all those flying heads :)

i´m still obessesed for this game!

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 :-)

21:50 almost dead... nice recovery...

I remember playing this game over and over again...couldn't get past the quick sand.

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...

Very good speedrun ;) congrats i always hated that flying head part xD

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). 🤣🤣🤣

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?

God this takes me back. Played this game loads in my youth, never finished it that fast though, not even close.

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

An amazing attack of nostalgia, suddenly got me

30:52 LOL

thank you for all those memories

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

Awesome speed run

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.

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!

Please More POP games like this that should be awesome.

I tried so many time to jump on that ship in the beginning !! hahah

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.

What a ride! Thanks friend

I always got stuck at the end with the shadow prince. I knew I was close to the finale.

One of the first games I experienced on my uncle's 486. Still of my favs!

Prince please save the world 35:56 later Prince : Its done

memories ♥️

Esos trucos de esquivar a los soldados no sabía , ni tampoco el de esquivar a los fantasmas . Gracias por tantos recuerdos . Saludos desde Peru

...the sultan offered him riches, but the stranger requested just one reward (because the riches would soon follow anyway).

Thank you for the information.

21: 22 I think you just entered the wrong washroom.

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

I spent many, many hours playing this - Playing the MAC PowerPC version of course!! Also spent many hours playing PoP1.

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.

Man, you are AWESOME

very cool how this game is animated to look like a story book.

How do you do that trick at 19:43 where the flying head just flies to the next screen and won't come back? When I try it it either stops flying towards me and goes back to its normal mode or just follows me down, is this only possible on the IR release?

0.40 The guy looks like a polygon version of Edward Cullen from Twilight

Incredibly hard, incredibly awesome

this game was fucking awesome ! good childhood memories !

Big time nostalgia

oh shjt that fancy dance at the end, how the hell anyone suppose to find out that shjt to beat him?

great work! this was the first time I saw the whole story :-) Here are some comments: What about jumping at 7:14? Is it possible to use the sword-trick at 9:51 or at 11:52? What does the "time 58" in the hall of fame mean??

The level the castle, ancient ruins, was very impressive and very creepy. But this was a good game.

This game still gives me the feel of mystery. I think I can never finish such a game of combining puzzle and action..

old memories wow love to play again

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.

He kept the black screens for the music too. That man is genius !

This game made my childhood awesome

35:34 who is this lady? Dear Jordan Mechner...why didn't you make prince of persia 3 as the answer of who's this lady?

One thing I remember doing on that beach, when the prince gets up, running to the right of the screen, I’d hear this droning noise and I always wondered what it was. Does anyone know about this?

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?

Amazing!

30:36 lol

Какая прекрасная сказка!

u can skip the level at 15:14 by using the door u came in ;) u will get the small knife without picking it up. only downside is the missing big potion u can get in this level

graphics and presentation are par excellence for the time. i remember being wowed as a kid. how the hell did i manage to finish this as a child? I remember loving the chess background at the end of the game, but I don't think for the life of me I could finish this game today as an adult....

아... 추억 돋는다...

Pure awesomeness. I'm not sure if this could have made this any quicker, but you don't actually need to get killed in order to aqquire the flame. I remember jumping next to it and the door in order to advance was open. By the way, since I always wondered about the witch with the crystal ball at the end, could somebody tell me did any of the PoP games explain who she was?

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.

that screen at 11:40 is the bane of my childhood

Great stuff ! I personally sucked at dealing with those heads :( , they were impossible to kill for me. At 16:29 - where does the door on the left side lead to ?

I think there are two versions of this game. I'm not sure which one is the newer version but the life extension potion in Ruins 3 is different, at least the room after is. Also, glitching the Wolf heads in Ruins at all don't really work (sometimes wall hits do but not climb and sight glitching) and sight glitching doesn't seem to work with the birds in Temple 4 (the beginning fights). I'd like to know how you got this version because I myself love speedrunning this game. Hit me up with a PM.

Amazing. Please tell me did the developpers made the game speedrunable or there are just flaws that happen to be there and made it so? Maybe both?
