@@Jannat-f1q It doesn't need to be a genius to figure it out! ;) Of course I spent alot of time on it. Persitence is the key to win anything in life! ;)
I remember beating this back in the late 90's. Was soo frustrating trying to figure out Level 12 shadow and leap of faith puzzle. I solved the puzzle by accident, I pressed down during the sword fight with the shadow, and as soon as your shadow mimicked the movement, I got soo excited. The game automatically puts you in a fighting stance when the shadow appears before you, your immediate reaction was to jump into battle right away. Every hit you take or give, you loose control of situation. For the ones who played Karateka and finished it, this puzzle pays homage to it's ending in which you have the choice to either approach the princess in fighting stance and get killed, or run towards her for the good ending. Unfortunately I did not finish Karateka until later. After merging with the shadow, I was stuck thinking what now? i went around every corner of level 12 after merging with the shadow to look for a hidden passage or door. Nothing. The leap of faith idea was very random and I wish there were clues to this other than knowing the game is all about trial and error. Considering I've died a lot in this level before and after merging with the shadow, you just had to try that path the jump the fuck out of it. When the platform appeared, 10 year old me attempted to hump the keyboard.
I think in POP2, you need to alternatively pressing forward and backward arrows for the prince to get the fire protection (he will sort of glow in fire); that too I found out of frustration. (someone still playing in 2023) :)
Wow, that was one of the funniest and most anticlimactic "boss battles" I've seen yet. Dude whips out the sword and almost plunges to his death, then it's a one-hitter-quitter to END THE ENTIRE GAME. Excellent.
Just one Blow Jaffer died. Makes me laugh too much. But great idea . For years I was not known what to do with shadow but when I saw this video it looks very easy . I think I will replay this game again.
+Easy Game Walkthrough lol yeah, the fight with Jaffar is supposed to be this long, dangerous epic final battle and then the player is just like "sigh, I don't have time for this shit, die now". xD
The shadow or ghost, from what Wikipedia says, is the Doppelgänger of the character created through the mirror ... like a trap, illusion and another mirror of the game by the Vizier to try to deceive and defeat the player ... I must admit that this idea was already far ahead of its time. Can you imagine fighting against your own self and not knowing how to defeat it without dying due to the fact that you hurt yourself and do not fight you die the same, although the answer to beat him is so simple and is it right under your nose? Very ingenious, really.
> He has magical powers for spawning an hourglass that could kill the Princess within an hour; > He fights the Prince with a sword when he is weaker than the Guard from Level 8. :facepalm:
This is such a great game, playing now after 20 years. Every level has a nice challenge. This one is too tough though... That Jaffar fight made me laugh, they seem to play it so easily here.
This is the best old game i have ever played. Excellent story (a simple one),gameplay,levels,enemies,challenges....and a wonderful ending. All this from the mind of one programmer!. This is "the game".
I remember i was probably 3 or 4 years old playing this. It was ao hard. My dad help me lots of times. So nostalgic. Thank you i finally be able to see the ending after long time.
Love the ending. I played this all the time when I was 8 or 9. Looking at this video now I am impressed with myself for getting to the end. Looks hard from my adult perspective. Thank you for posting!
yaar 2004 me itna try kiya tha ye game....aaj tak sochta tha ki e iska end kise hua hoga....aaj dekh hi liya....aap ko dil se bahut hi thanks yaar you are great....😃

Thanks a ton for uploading this Vedio!! Seriously, now I finally know how it ended... it was really hard, at 10 years of age, after that didn't ever try.. Nowi I can rest in peace 😅😅😆😆
just realized I was very close to the end but couldn't find out how to deal with my shadow...until now! thanks, dude for sharing this! Greets from Peru
I spent hours and hours playing this but I was never able to finish it!!! Stuck in the last level for ever! At that time, the ability of check in the internet how to do it was a sci-fi thing :-P
I tried working this game for a long long time and stopped playing in vain .. Very recently i cleared all the levels .. The moment i got the princess , i cant imagine the pleasure and pride in finishing one of the toughest games of all time !! And it stood as one of my best gaming experiences! Hail the prince of Persia !!
The first few minutes of this level are friggen hard!! I died nearly 50 times trying to get to Jaffar. By the time you face Jaffar, it feels like a walk in the park (sorta).
I never got to beat it when I was a kid. But 10 years after I stopped playing, I earned my own money, purchased a computer and I was running the same copy from 10 years before (I preserved the game by copying it into new sources to avoid corruption of data). As an adult I beat the hole game in a weekend. And it felt so good :D. It took me much more time to beat Jaffar btw...
Haha that good old times.. I remember i played this game a long, long time ago and i couldnt beat Jaffar and then i replaced my old computer with a new one and i didn't have that game at that comp so i forgot that game, but now i want to play this game so much...
I never succeeded in beating my shadow because it was not to be beaten. And I remember the first time I saw the ending... I was so close to finish it... so close...
Mechners father found the long lost source code for this during spring cleaning. That means there's pretty big chance we'll have some anniversary edition out soon. Woot woot!
That's cool, you got Jaffar by flipping it around and knocking him off with one strike where he falls to his death. I usually engage in a full blown swordfight with him. I must admit, when I first got to him, I was expecting him to use deadly magic but instead, he's like any other swordsman.
He uses magic in the second game and flees like a coward once he sees you have the fireball and are able to kill him. You have to chase him down and blast him.
damn, i remember playing this game like once per day in my childhood on 486... i was so good in it, almost could have done it with eyes closed :) still remember record, 26 mins left. :)
I always failed at last level. I actually went to learn computers and got interested with this game. May be in 1998 and now in 2012 I see how the happy ending comes :) thx a lot starblizzardstar :)
Used to play during the 90's :( golden memories :( . Never reached the final stage. LOL Meanwhile Worst final boss fight of all time. Rather than that the game is hard as shit. Game fact : It's exclusively made for apple 2 system in1989.
I'm fifteen years old and i remember sitting on y dad lap watching him play this game on the computer. Sometimes he would let me play too and we had got pretty far but somehow never finished the game. Always wanted to know how it ended. ;)
А мс дос ток такя интересно была? Я в детстве у мамки на работе играл, но непомню как на денди была или как эта. Единственное точно помню что на компе паролей небыло и на английском всё было, так же когда сверху плита падала надо присядать а то жизни отнимут.
After 30 years! I finally know how it ended!!
What? Weren't you ever able to complete the game? It took me just a few days to do it (After a few attempts)

i was about that age when i managed to complete the game. It took me only few weeks only
@@ammyself i saw ur name in the brightest kid of the world list . Oh wait ....
After so many years, I still remember how fun and challenging it was! Despite its age and modern era games, I still think this is the best game.
4:30, one of the most beautiful moments in gaming....
esta cancion es de dios
it's better in the snes version
Maruko Chan 99 ms dos version is the best

Don't forget when the white mouse 🐭 looks Prince and Princess hugged each other too ;-)

After 25 years still remeber and love this game
best game ever made! i remember playing this when i was 4-5 years old
me too! I played when I was a kid, and I still play this game! very epic game.
Ghuanny Same. I remember playing it everyday. I don't think I made it pass the first level. lol
+Leodian Alion The best game ever made is Super Mario but Prince of Persia is very good too.
Roberthy Souza gta is best games, but prince of persia is classic games
I played on amiga about same age that invisible bridge had me stuck for so long.
Wow, that was one of the funniest and most anticlimactic "boss battles" I've seen yet. Dude whips out the sword and almost plunges to his death, then it's a one-hitter-quitter to END THE ENTIRE GAME. Excellent.
Should be called "Gravity vs Jaffar"
@Felipe Calzadilla lol you're damn right, man 👍🏼
Ahhh... fall damage... quite a classic.

Asterlofts coz of that stupid idea. We stuck there.
Jaffar wasn't much of a swordsman was he?
Yeah, it was kinda anticlimactic))
> He has magical powers for spawning an hourglass that could kill the Princess within an hour;
> He fights the Prince with a sword when he is weaker than the Guard from Level 8. :facepalm:
@@VereskVeil He's actually pretty tough. Only if you use that trick in the video it becomes anticlimactic
@@meciocio I played the game, the guard on the fifth (?) floor was much worse)
@@VereskVeil yeah he is. He's the thoughest, Jaffar the second, fat guard third.
"And they lived happy forever after, until they discovered oil and the US invaded them."
from the future a pandemic hit the world and oil is no more a thing !!
Forever using the magic of Jaffar's they couldn't be able to live more than 100years if ancient people not more than 1000years
omg childhood memories , loved that time the 90's

Lol, no comments how did you defeat Jaffar.
This game is ten times more harder than most games from nowdays.
It isn't so hard...
@@MrNatale91 look at the year when he made this comment
well at the time of the release of this game you could not consult solutions on internet
I remember i was probably 3 or 4 years old playing this. It was ao hard. My dad help me lots of times. So nostalgic. Thank you i finally be able to see the ending after long time.
When I played this as a child, I felt so nervous
still one of the best games out there :)) even after 20 years!
That last level was 18 stories of climbing. Sheesh!
Loved these felt tears after watch this ! Childhood memories ❤
You have solved the mystery of 1989! I've reached the phantom many times and couldn't go any further :)
Many times I reached this level as a kid - I had no idea how to deal with my clone... I wasn't aware that I was so close to the end.
Love the ending. I played this all the time when I was 8 or 9. Looking at this video now I am impressed with myself for getting to the end. Looks hard from my adult perspective. Thank you for posting!

i actually fuckin did all of this as a kid, now i would have such a hard time xD
I don't know why people seem to assume you have to fight the Shadow. You can just put your sword away and jump into him right away.
Finished it NOW. I'm almost crying, it's been more than 10 years
So much memories....
OMG it didn't age!! Still looks as good as it was back then.

Prince's shadow (in fact, his own reflection from magic mirror) - solution is unite it instead of fighting (and hurting yourself).
My first game... rocks... Now awayting for PRINCE OF PERCIA the Movie !!!!!

At that time, the ability of check in the internet how to do it was a sci-fi thing :-P

Nostalgia. ♥♥♥
2:50 - The original author of Prince of Persia said he was inspired by the Indiana Jones films.. I think I'm seeing an influence.
Who's here after prince of persia rogue droped ?
The first few minutes of this level are friggen hard!! I died nearly 50 times trying to get to Jaffar. By the time you face Jaffar, it feels like a walk in the park (sorta).
