Classic Prince of Persia Longplay Walkthrough: No Cheats, Pure Challenge! (MS-DOS Version)
Prince of Persia (PoP) is a renowned side-scrolling "cinematic platformer" created by Jordan Mechner and his team. Initially released in 1989 for the Apple II and published by Broderbund, this game is often hailed as one of the greatest video games ever made. Since its debut, it has been officially ported to a staggering 27 platforms.
For our video walkthrough, we chose to play the Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) version, which gained immense popularity in the 1990s, not only in Bangladesh but also in various other locations.
In our perspective, the gameplay still offers a delightful and captivating experience, particularly if you relish a good challenge like we do. The graphics and music have retained their enchantment over the years.
Throughout the playthrough recording, we abstained from using any cheats, save-states, or hacks. We aimed to maintain a natural and unedited presentation, which means we left in any mistakes we made during the gameplay.
O V E R V I E W:
Taking place in medieval Persia, the game revolves around a gripping tale. As the sultan embarks on a foreign war, his vizier Jaffar, an adept wizard, seizes control. Standing in his way to the throne is the sultan's daughter, who Jaffar locks away in a tower. He gives her an ultimatum: she must agree to marry him or face death within 60 minutes.
Meanwhile, the game's main protagonist, cherished by the Princess, finds himself imprisoned in the palace dungeons. To secure her freedom, he must navigate through treacherous dungeons, overcome cunning traps, reach the towering palace, and ultimately vanquish Jaffar before time expires.
Amidst the challenges posed by guards, intricate mazes, and perilous dungeons, the protagonist must also contend with a formidable obstacle—a doppelgänger of his own self, summoned forth from a mystical mirror.
T I P S:
All Mega Potions (health upgrades) have been collected and timestamped in the comments below. You should collect all of them to beat the game.
The video walkthrough will also help you understand how to navigate the various traps throughout the game without dying. However, you can either watch the video and mimic what is being done, or come up with your own technique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
The walkthrough has been divided into chapters according to the different levels for easier viewing.
