I managed to beat the GB version back in the day within the 40:00 time limit ONCE. I think the hardest part about the controls is the way momentum works. It’s hard to stop the Prince from running when he starts going fast. There are speed specific jumps as well, slow covers one tile, fast covers 2 and a running jump covers 3. I’ve played the game a bunch of times after beating it but was never able to replicate what I did the first time when I was a 10 year old kid with too much free time on his hand.
This is a perfect example of bad level design. The only way to proceed is to already know where you need to go and what you need to do before you even get there. You also need to know what isn't working, what is glitched, what solid walls and gates you can walk through, etc.
Unless you're a 9 to 5 game tester, you probably would never figure out you can glitch through a gate if you get up after a jump in just the right way. Kindof dumb.
@@readyplayerone5220 No this is different. In the official prince of persia games there are a few ground rules to work on. >tiles fall, certain blocks are pressure plates, traps insta kill you..etc. The player works with those ground rules to progress in the game. They learn how and when to apply it. This is different, this mod uses bugged game mechanics in certain spots and not in others. You as the player have no idea when or how to apply the bugs unless you yourself designed the game. A map is not well designed if you have to break half the game for it to complets one half of the map.
@@readyplayerone5220 Prince of Persia 2 was a game where you needed to memorize some parts of some levels to make it through in time. The first Game this is based on was not so much. If you were unlucky and went in the wrong direction too often, or if you had to restart to often due to deaths, you'd run out of time. But for someone mastering the mechinics quickly and having some luck, it was at least in theory possible to beat it at the first attempt.
@@toastedbox6016 but still it's not same like 90's kids bcoz now a days a simple search on youtube will solve your problem if you get struck in game somewhere
This is insane. About 10 years ago, I had a reputation of a mod-maker whose mods were insanely hard. But this is another level..., almost like a compilation of the original game's loopholes. The initial ones were cool and early well known, such as a posibility of providing a long jump from a 2-tile wide platform, falling askew in order to get to a 2-floor below, but one tile shorter platform, or dropping a 2-tile wide loose platform by quick descending and immediate ascending. Or the discovery of semi-loose tiles, which may add some more complexity to the game. Or adding some features which require some brains, such as a need of leaving a guard standing on an opener alive to open a gate it's closer was forced to press before. But the newer tricks, like skipping one tile while preparing for a long jump, which depend on every pixel when starting the trick, I never considered to be much fun. Unless it was single such trick at the very beginning of a level. Plus, I never liked the features that ruin the visual level design, such as instantly killing closed choppers, broken spikes or the invisible "black wall".
Hardcore! My uncle, Jordan, developed this game. I remember him working on it when I was a kid. He got me to beta test it! Although it was WAY too hard for me.
Still remember this game and how I was stuck for ages at this one level. It was only when I replayed it as an adult that I figured out how to go past it… such a nightmare of a game but a marvel at the time given how the team worked to fit the game in such limited space.
Venturing along the unknown secret paths, traps, shaky tiles, swords duals along with handling the super tough keyboard controls, made quite this game even after years of hard practice in my childhood when i wasn't even able to pass the level 1. Few days ago i re-downloaded this game and it was still insanely difficult, the 1st level. What you have done is truly GODLY!
Similar maniacs did uberhardcore mindblowing levels for Supaplex, and also provided recorded demos with the solutions utilizyng almost all glitches and tricks of the original game.
What do you mean "even today it seems a difficult game to pass". Today's games are so easy, every game nowadays holds your hand and gives you instructions by showing you what buttons to press. Games back then were difficult, all of them, ever played Super Ghouls and Ghosts?! The youth of today couldn't handle the games of this era, they would all need a safe space or start to cry cause its too difficult.
@@OblivionGate Those kinds of old really hard games are just not that "fun" or entertaining to play for very long. Half the difficulty comes from all the jank code in them. There is a guy who cracks old games and finds where the code can be changed to make them better. Also most people don't like tutorials or constant button prompts. People just deal with it, but really, no one likes obscure hidden things in games that don't get explained either. It's one the most infuriating things about certain old games. Also I'm trying to understand the generation gap here. 1991 was only 30 years ago. Not that long in the grand scheme of things. I was born in the 90's, but I am very familiar with all games from even before I was born. Many of the classics never went away and people still play them young and old. They are all, all over TH-cam. Every game in existence periodically gets beaten like a dead horse and obssesed about on here by people every year. Lastly IDK, how you never heard of Darksouls. Darksouls is a really difficult modern game, but the difficultly centers around skill and decisions rather then just the game being cheap and poorly programmed.
This is incredible! It makes a merit of every quirk, bug and curiosity. I really like this sort of thing - it represents an astonishing understanding of the mechanics of the game. I always liked to speculate about what was possible given the very specific rules of physics in this game, but someone's really applied that thought to create something that's somehow both wild and intensely disciplined!
I used to play this game when I was a kid.Was a MsDos game.The sword fight was realistic you could even protect with sword.The amazing button that if you walk up you get killed by ground swords etc.The last boss was a mirror reflection of the prince or evil prince.
I've encountered about half of the bugs used for this level, but I can't say I know how they work. Completing this puzzle level requires insanely intricate knowledge.
A perfect example of ridiculously bad game design. The player has no way of knowing the way to go, what functions how, where he can just glitch through, ... nothing. It's one of those fan games that can really only be played by the one person who created it.
SonataFanatica as if u knew which direction to go in original, I've seen a playthrought and sometimes it made no sense the guy just went to some random direction (which would seem to, but it's not). You just keep dying and learn the paths. However, if you saw at the end he went throught a closed gate so I suppose he could've done that to any trap but he didnt so it would seem like he actually dodged them lol
Its crazy when I look at old games I played growing up like this because I can't believe I was actually able to beat these games with no internet to look up solutions. What a nightmare of a level that was.
I have finished the game many times, back in the years. Never played this part, I believe I would never pass this. I am guessing this is a part that is not necessary to pass, and some crazy activists are experimenting with it. Or maybe some one had access to the code and created a new level. What do you guys think??
That's a very hard level , even genius people can't pass it , this player is an expert in prince game, and if i try to pass it for millions of times i will not succeed.!!! Good luck man.!!!
2:49 In those days it eowoo guillotine sound too scary. It's scary to hear the sound right now. My brother was so good at the game that he went to the end
These kinda games always creeped me out, like a bad dream when your unaware but still know your in a strange place and don't know it while being so stoned, so you start praying.
i kinda... don't remember this level :p yet still. the gameplay brings back some lovely memories :) the times when Prince of Persia was an actual thing ;)
I remember playing this game on one of the computers at the boys and girls club back in the 90s I never remember it being this difficult but then again I don’t remember being really go at this game either😂
T.O.P. I passed all 12 levels but I didn't get here... how to get there?? if anyone wants, I also have some videos on the channel about Prince of Persia
For those who never played this game before: The movement controls comes straight outta hell
It looks hard.
Hard disagree.

even Jafaar couldn't escape his castle, so he sorta wanted the prince(or anyone) would come and kill him to put an end to his misery.
Hahaha
Lol so true
The question is "who puts those torches everyday to those walls."
Well, flying carpets were a thing back then... 😂
they are imported from minecraft
Jaffer was a wizard though
the guards, obviously
the real question is, who resets the falling panels
Who on earth is refilling them with fuel

Better stick to fortnight and linear fps games
Didn't understand this game back in 1994. Glad some things never change.
this looks like pure fvcking hardcore hell. I think that games should be entertaining, not absurd hard.
Hardcore mods are interesting and challenge. On this levels you can find a lot tricks :)

Brings back memory who remembers kings quest and Police quest

Eventually, Jaffar decided to build very abstract dungeons.
Perfect example of an overkill. Unnecessarily complex.
