I wonder how many of you guys are/were aware (*without* looking at my profile pic here) that the "Pop" in "Popfan" stands for "Prince of Persia". Well, nominative determinism dictated that I was going to make this kind of video eventually, it just wasn't exactly high on my to-do list... at least until an unlikely e-mail exchange with a certain fan of mine motivated me to churn this one out.

Funny enough, I hadn't touched this game in probably years, which explains my cautious playing style. Yet, despite that, I managed to pull of a saveless, deathless run on my first attempt! Go figure.

I also figured that, since there were already hundreds if not thousands of videos about PoP1 on this website, I might as well give this one a little bit of a "me" spin. What that amounted to was me playing this game off of a floppy disk, and recording my USB disk drive's noises with a microphone. Thought it might add a bit more authenticity to it (even if I had to settle with recording my footage via DOSBox, as I sadly lack a vintage computer with a working floppy disk drive and a way to actually record off of).

Also shoutout to https://www.youtube.com/@decod31 for his playthrough from 17 years ago, apropos of absolutely nothing other than the fact that it is a core childhood memory to me:
