Prince of Persia (1989) PC. This is one of my first and beloved games! Here you have complete game playthrough. All mega potion locations included! Enjoy!
@@jalenikezeue4114the feel of anxiety, you have to carefully step over the booby traps/slicing doors/collapsing concrete while trying to save the Princess before the time runs out, or else you're KOed 😬😬 I have passed all the levels once and never played it again. The game itself is a true anxiety.
A quarter of century has passed, technologies and graphics have evolved and improved, but this videogame still remains one of the best ever. It captivates you every time, still today. It really was way ahead of its times back then. Thanks for uploading this!
it's incredible what a bunch of pixels and a child's imagination could do at the time. I remember being completely taken with the window in the princess' chamber, with those stars twinkling and hinting at a mysterious world outside of the palace. I could spend hours in my imagination building up how that world looked like, all form a single pixellated night sky seen from a window
I think thats the beauty of simple graphics in video games. It leaves you always guessing, and using the best of imagination. Its a shame people always think that “better” or more advanced graphics makes for a better gaming experience.
Everybody (including modern children, unfortunately) is much too jaded from media overexposure to truly understand the feeling you are conveying in your post. But I remember, if only ever so faintly....
I was born in 1989 and I from Russia. In my childhood a played Prince of Persia too. just like the children from America, I memorized to automatism every necessary button press in the right place, but I never reached the end of the game. Isn't that strange? across the ocean, a completely different child in a foreign country was playing the same games as you. I fantasized just like you, dreamed, saw something more in a cluster of colored pixels. We are much more alike than we seem. and even now, when I am 35 years old, watching this video I become that child.
Bruh, I'm from Russia too and I'm also was born in 1989 )) Was played in Prince of Persia at my dad's working computer after his working day, these are good and precious memories, especially now. I totally agree with this guy - no matter what country you are from, we all human, and we should find things that bound us together, not separate us apart.
so true. It brings so many childhood memories. The music, the visuals, the long evening I spent on my father's windows 95 desktop playing this game. ..
I watched my dad play and beat this game back in the 90's. Just now he tells me that he used to have nightmares about being trapped in a dungeon and falling into spikes!
37:55 My favorite part. The Prince and his shadow become one while the main theme starts playing and a bridge materializes as he heroically runs towards his final challenge.
As as kid I never made a progress from here, I didn't know the mouse was coming to open the door for me, it was until I was able to afford a PC myself that I knew how to pass this trap.
Used to play this as a kid. Even today the feeling of wonder every time I play this game never fades. These simpler graphics give room to the imagination to fill it where they could not reach.
I have been looking for this game for over a decade. I used to play this on my uncles computer when I was a little kid and was always fascinated by the gameplay. I never knew it was Prince of Persia but holy crap does finding this video bring back the memories.
That was so awesome, my daughter was born in 1986, my sons in 1988 and 1990,and we were hooked on this maybe 1995 or so and until we completed it, and then we got Prine of Persia 2, and then that occupied alot of our time.ty
i remember when i was a child i used to play this game on my father's computer and i remember it was 2011 what a days i was stuck on the level 1 i didn't know what to do after finding the sword i really miss these days
I can remember having the original copy on floppy disk, but in 2001 my dad threw away my computer from 1993 that could play it when I was 12! It was my pride and joy and he simply, threw it away like a rag! I can remember you have to complete the game 2ice and on the 2nd run some of the levels are slightly altered such as level 6 where the falling tile above the hole is narrower. If you try to cling onto it the big soldier simply tramples you to death. I can't seem to find this version, I've been looking for years. I cold also never get the potion on level 5 because the shadow guy steals it when you try to drink it. I also remember that on the 2nd run all the skeletons come to life, not just the one on level 3. You can also get an extra life on level 3. All you have to do is collect it on the first attempt, then when you get past the gate, die. When you come back you will be behind the gate, go and open the door but dot go through it at first, go all the way back down the bottom of the level and collect the red +1 potion for a second time, then go all the way back and finish the level!
It's a bit complicated. You can argue about Jafar and Aladdin being at a dungeon at one point of the movie, but he doesn't climb up from there in order to save Jasmine. Not to mention the genie looking quite like the villain from the Thief and the Coobler, but the similarity ends there.
@@falconeshield I am not exactly referring to the details being exactly the same from the game and the animated film, but there are concepts that are waaaay too similar. Jafar imprisoning Aladdin in the dungeon in the same as in the game. Jafar wanting to marry the princess is the same as in the game itself and let’s not forget in both versions Jafar is considered a powerful magician. The fact that Disney even named the villain “Jafar” is a dead give away. I am 85% one of the members behind the Aladdin animated film must’ve been a Prince of Persia fan or at least played the game because those concepts are too identical for it to be a “coincidence”.
I remember going to see Aladdin as a kid and going "wait a darn minute..." and then as an adult going to Pirates of the Carribean and saying the exact same thing realising that they had "borrowed extensively" from Monkey Island. I think though with Prince of Persia and Aladdin, they are both based on a Middle -Eastern folk tale so not really much difference to most of Disney's folktale interpretations.
One of the toughest levels and scary too (back at that time I was easy to scare from computer games). Then it is the last level (what you can call a level) on which you usually have not much time left to try stuff out. The fighting, frequently appearing as mean, shadow (This was scary as hell back then) felt impossible to pass when you don't know what to do. I had given up and made it a 1 or 2 years later with the working idea that came to my mind.
My brother and I used to play this videogame once he got his first PC back in the day. It was pretty exciting for that time; especially, trying to decipher the clues to get from one dungeon to another.
This... my god. This was life. My buddy and i use to build forts in the back yard and play this game irl. Normally did this while the older brother was hogging the computer
I remember vaguely in the version I played, after stage 2 or 3, there was a mid level with 25 potions lined up. Each had a letter underneath, as well as a short chiffre (e.g. "page 4 letter 27"). So you had to go to the manual book (?) on the acording page and drink the potion with the right letter. Wrong potion took a heart. Since I didnt have the manual, I always had to guess. Mostly A or E :D
I usually try to kill the guards on switches [when I can] as it keeps the doors open permenantly, this is especially useful in level 8 in when you have to go through 3 doors before they close, killing the guard on the switch keeps them open so you don't have to worry about backtracking if you miss the 3rd one
I do not know what you think but in my opinion it would have been interesting that in the 90s, they had released an edition of playstation and sega saturn of this game
Sands of Time was technically a slight reboot of the original story. And you have... I think Farah? Who was pretty much added in for the new continuity. You could argue there is 3-4 or even more different continuities and storylines. And if you count two thrones, probably different princes. We can use the film as it's own example.
I was completely stuck on the clone fight because my copy of the game was bugged and wouldn’t drop the clone. I didn’t learn about this until years later, thinking the game just ended at this impossible jump.
Wtf... i played it so many times when i was a kid and was never ever able to pass the fight with my shadow.... and now i discover that i was so closed to finish the game! Oh i wish i could play this again
what nostalgia? I finished this game well in 2007. but reviewing the steps I wonder how I managed to pass all the steps. it's really complex I won't be able to do it again.
why is everybodys version different from the one i know?!? the levels are slightly different from 2:51. in my version, to get the sword you'd have to climb some levels lower and then get back to the beginning and move to the right. im trying to find a playthrough because i'm stuck at lvl 2, can't find a way to open the nxt lvl door
I played this game when I was studying in 7th standard. I successfully completed this game and my father was excited to see the game. It was in 2001 I guess.
My childhood flashing right before my eyes! I never got to finish this game. Wow!
What was it like

This is such a lovely message. I was a child in Ireland, living that same experience in another different part of the world.

Childhood nostalgia at its finest
Wanst there a version with just a beeper as audio fx, not this fancy 8bit sound? 😊
@@ziggytonumaaWell some got lucky
@@ziggytonumaa Hell yes, that's what I had. Still the canon sounds for me!
so true. It brings so many childhood memories. The music, the visuals, the long evening I spent on my father's windows 95 desktop playing this game. ..
@@ziggytonumaa that's either the NES version or a bootlegged DOS version of this game.
Prince of Persia is 33 years old today still LEGENDAY ❤❤❤❤❤

I watched my dad play and beat this game back in the 90's. Just now he tells me that he used to have nightmares about being trapped in a dungeon and falling into spikes!
I still have a nightmare about the spikes and the death music after all this time.
Same me 😂😂😂
I think the movements are amazing for its time.
The animation really was groundbreaking.
Like flashback movement
Aparently the developer took videos of his brother jumping around a parking lot to track the movement for the animation. it definitely paid off.
@@eimearnighriofa1116that’s right. And he use rotoscoping technique.
37:55 My favorite part. The Prince and his shadow become one while the main theme starts playing and a bridge materializes as he heroically runs towards his final challenge.
I never passed that part during my childhood. I always confused why i always end up dead after killing the shadow one.
@@vianandroidYou have to put down your sword first and then you will able to merge with the shadow
Bruh as a kid I never even got the sword 😂
Me too
How did you play the game without a sword?
@@ugochukwuudeh6625 there's a trick for that
@@ugochukwuudeh6625 first level there's a trick but other levels they give u sword
What trick? :D@@ArjunRaj-dq2qm
I was a 3.5 years-old kid when my dad introduced me to this game on his computer 😂
same story here
25:38 he was like : " now what? "
the same hero as the Endgame

18:10 the real final boss
toughest boss
Abis Mal
Yes sir
those quick reflexes might have taken lots of practice
It's the real unreal final boss
After all these years, Jaffar's theme when he enter the princess' room is STILL fantastic!
Childhood refresh memories
This brought back fond but frustrating memories. The bunny hop under a closing gate as well as the big boned guard.
this game was my childhood...and it IS better than all the future prince of persia games...i stand by that
Good old days
I have been looking for this game for over a decade. I used to play this on my uncles computer when I was a little kid and was always fascinated by the gameplay. I never knew it was Prince of Persia but holy crap does finding this video bring back the memories.
this game runs better then my life now
That was so awesome, my daughter was born in 1986, my sons in 1988 and 1990,and we were hooked on this maybe 1995 or so and until we completed it, and then we got Prine of Persia 2, and then that occupied alot of our time.ty
This game was so good as a kid
i remember when i was a child i used to play this game on my father's computer and i remember it was 2011 what a days i was stuck on the level 1 i didn't know what to do after finding the sword i really miss these days
I remember this game had a few cheats: you can skip levels, be able to fall down slowly and gain the extra HPs.
I can remember having the original copy on floppy disk, but in 2001 my dad threw away my computer from 1993 that could play it when I was 12! It was my pride and joy and he simply, threw it away like a rag!

Isn’t ANYBODY gonna comment how Disney literally stole the concept of Prince of Persia and pasted it in the “Aladdin” animated film?
It's a bit complicated. You can argue about Jafar and Aladdin being at a dungeon at one point of the movie, but he doesn't climb up from there in order to save Jasmine. Not to mention the genie looking quite like the villain from the Thief and the Coobler, but the similarity ends there.

I grew up thinking Prince of Persia was Aladdin😅
I remember going to see Aladdin as a kid and going "wait a darn minute..." and then as an adult going to Pirates of the Carribean and saying the exact same thing realising that they had "borrowed extensively" from Monkey Island. I think though with Prince of Persia and Aladdin, they are both based on a Middle -Eastern folk tale so not really much difference to most of Disney's folktale interpretations.
It’s more that they stole “Thief and the Cobbler” from Richard Williams
I've falled at 37:24 so many times that each time i get here my heart skips a beat

That guy makes muscle ups like a champ
This game was the best of all time to watch for hours when I was young lol miss this game. Hard though.
Back in 1996-97 When I first touched a personal computer 😢
One of the best DOS era game EVER.
0:45 The intro scene was great... and it's made with just a couple of sprites!
Fighting Thicc boi is intense
I Believe that you know for the hidden life potions but you passed them in order to save time. I am very happy that I watched this video. Thank you 😊
To think how it went from this to the trilogy is just mind-blowing
My childhood game😍😍😍
Nostalgic😭❤️
the only game that gave me a great childhood memory even if i couldn't beat stage 2.
Nostalgia
I remember playing this on my uncle’s computer running windows 3.1
Such a hard game
super!! after this successful walkthrough now i can die, peacefully
This... my god. This was life. My buddy and i use to build forts in the back yard and play this game irl. Normally did this while the older brother was hogging the computer

Since I didnt have the manual, I always had to guess. Mostly A or E :D
Man that rings a bell. Playing with a paper manual back in those days was a different beast, they did things differently then.
Great memories
I used to love this game as a kid
Very well played, 👏
time to stream this after I played it when I was a child almost 20 years ago
My childhood😢😢😢😢😢 all the people I lost😢😢😢😢
Luke you're great
That Fat Cat was next level 🤣.
Nostalgia at its peak
first time play this game, the animation is really good at that time
A little mice need a hug too 😢
That looks really good for that year. Doesn’t look all pixelated looks more like a cartoon

Ah this this game´s priciple was brought to the Fantastic Flashback and later to one of my absolute favorite game Oddworld : Abe´s exodus.
thank you
Best platform game EVER! Period.
Just finished this beautifull game
missing my childhood
We all do. The 90s and early 2000s lied to us all.
I do not know what you think but in my opinion it would have been interesting that in the 90s, they had released an edition of playstation and sega saturn of this game
It's odd how they didn't
My first computer game ever ...remember playing this on my uncles 333mhz celeron
Legendary game.
My mom used to play it while I would watch it whwn I was 5😍
Это роковая игра моего детства ) А в данный момент я прошел Ori 2ю часть, просто чудо ))
The best game ever!❤

Jafaar is that easy to defeat? I was expecting it more difficult, haha. I love it though. Nostalgia!
Te falto una poción, igualmente sos muy buen jugador, perfecto tiempo bro.
Saludos.
Finally i knw the ending…. 😂
i play this as kid !!!
I finished it same day at first I was 13. Became star of my local school Dam I thought I was Eisenstein
Wtf... i played it so many times when i was a kid and was never ever able to pass the fight with my shadow.... and now i discover that i was so closed to finish the game! Oh i wish i could play this again
Great memories.
Clarinete la tiene el pibe!!! 👏👏👏
In the one I had the prince's hair was much lighter, like bleach blond.
My uncle used to play this...
what nostalgia? I finished this game well in 2007. but reviewing the steps I wonder how I managed to pass all the steps. it's really complex I won't be able to do it again.
I didnt even recognize if i like the music of the game or not 😂
You have to run at those jaws occasionally.
Good times
why is everybodys version different from the one i know?!? the levels are slightly different from 2:51. in my version, to get the sword you'd have to climb some levels lower and then get back to the beginning and move to the right.
im trying to find a playthrough because i'm stuck at lvl 2, can't find a way to open the nxt lvl door
There exists a "modded" version with different levels. Maybe you had that one.
Them damn potions always killed me, never understood the logic.. i managed randomly once or twice to get the right combo though
Can't remember it well, wasn't it color-logic, like red bubbles for good and blue for bad? (and green for floating I think)
What a legend this game is and this guy i feel very nostalgic😢 i always play prince of persia on my nintendo brings back memories
Send a replica sry
Hey, how save? Then "Ctrl+g" said me: "Please insert Prince of Persia Disk into Drive D: and press ".
