Developed Arsys Software and published by Konami in 1992
Anyone who's been following my channel for a while will know, I've played and reviewed quite a number of different versions of the game. Whilst many of these might feature tweaked graphics or boast full CD audio soundtracks, every version that I've played to date has, essentially, been the exact same game with the exact same number of levels and level layout.
Arsys Software was given the task of converting Jordan Mechner's classic platforming game from the Apple II to the Super Nintendo home console. Although the graphics and audio have received a significant upgrade during the conversion process, Arsys has done a lot more than simply give the game a lick of paint and boot it out the door.
Firstly, the number of levels in this version is substantially higher than the original version. In addition to several levels exclusive to this version, many of the original levels have been reworked or have received extensive tweaks over their original designs. The opening level boasts a number of new screens that sets the scene for what one could consider to be a "Director's Cut" edition, with new levels, traps and enemy designs that you simply won't find in other versions.
As with the original game, you're still under a strict time limit to save the Princess from the evil Jaffar, although the amount of time available has increased from one hour to two. Considering the extra levels and the additional time it will take to solve some of the more complex ones, you'll need to make every second count.
The number of special potions that increase the Prince's maximum energy has significantly increased with almost every level containing one (or sometimes even two). Many of these are hidden behind secret walls that are extremely easy to miss - sometimes you'll spot differences in tile markings on certain walls that hint at existence of a secret, but many of them are extremely well hidden. The game allows you to upgrade to a maximum of fifteen hit-points, after which the large potions simply heal you rather than giving any additional life.
As with other console versions of the game, a password system has been included that allows the player to pick up the game where they left off at a later time; this is a really great feature that is all the more necessary now that the game is so large.
For those who've played Prince of Persia before, there's certainly enough new content on offer here to make it worth your while to pick the game up and give it a go - the game delights in teasing you with a glimpse of something that looks familiar and then completely changes everything a few screens into the level!
Prince of Persia on the SNES is a great conversion and the additional content goes some way to making this one of the best versions available.

![[TAS] [Obsoleted] SNES Prince of Persia by Challenger & Odongdong in 33:31.20](/img/n.gif)
This game had such a great atmosphere.
The best version of one of the greatest adventures of all time! Look at those colors! Soak in that soundtrack! Marvel at the animation! The game that we christened our SNES with all those years ago. Simply perfection!
Best version is the Macintosh one from 1992.
After playing OG POP back in the days, I was glad I managed to complete it..... But watching this, god damn, I don't think I'll ever give it a go. Looks ten times harder
@@OzwellSpencer No way.
1:43:42 level 20 on time the final battle
1:46:02 princess are you okay
The fact that Mechner animated every frame by tracing footage of his brother is mind blowing, especially for early CG.
Madzlick Chinatown *Mechner ;)
This game is so perfectly designed it doesn't need difficulty levels.
Video game developers were approaching their peak when this game was out.
@@marty7442 and the games weren't constantly being rushed, even games that should on paper be great end up being mediocre at best because of being rushed.
@@YahyaFalcon and games of today that try to imitate things like this have their gameplay so fastpaced that they fail
@@alejandrovelezpalacio4077 I mean, prince of persia did require you to be swift or else the princess would die, so it's not like prince of persia was slow either, or is this not what you mean?
I feel like those are two unrelated things, one involves how you play the game and the other is how rough of a journey you’re going to have with the design choices in place.
Jaffar: I can warp and cast magic
The dude: Well, I can corner you and glitch slash you
4:10 that swordfight.. Man. Against just that one enemy... Games have come so far graphically, but games back then had something else to them.
Devil May Cry has those moments.. just crank up the difficulty to Dante Must Die.
You got it. The limitations of the platforms or systems made the designers and programmers creative to deliver these masterpieces. Now as everything is packaged form them to just starting designing games with little to no challenge. The fact that video game companies are greedy and want fast money leads to the disasters we've been witnessing in the industry, games launched with 1000 bugs ( Cyberpunk 2077, Last of Us for PC, Mortal Kombat 1 port for the switch) you name it. Hail to the old school!😊
Really good of Jafar to leave all of these permanent health increasing potions around in places that only a very agile and athletic person good at climbing and jumping can reach, instead of just giving them straight to his guards, or taking them himself.
also really good of jaffar to have a convenient way to escape from the dungeon right in the guy's cell
I remember my dad staying up all night playing this game after my brother and I went to bed
This game is so beautiful and so well designed. I miss playing this game so much that sometimes, 25 years later, I still think about it.
I was watching Disney's Alladin woth my daughter, and the soundtrack had me think of Price of Persia. This game is very entrancing it kind of takes me there to another world and another time. Kudos to th developers!
It's refreshing to be able to watch an experienced player play a game that I enjoy without having to endure endless inane commentary. Very well done!
Playing the best version of the game too. This is the most responsive equal to the PC version.
@@HelmutKohlrabi Yes I think very responsive in terms of keyboard control. While in the DOS version, I made a number of missteps in jumping, no such accidents happened to me in this SNES version.
Best version of the original Prince of Persia.
no blood :(
Hard as nails! The way the levels are designed, the way the enemies and potions are positioned, and the fact that you're in a forced time limit really makes you think and strategize how you're going to beat the level.
I had the Japanese version, with the full intro of the guards beating the shit out of the player character before dragging him to the dungeon.
bech
Yep, the poor prince was tortured in SFC ver.
Can you link please of that Japanese version??
Amazing how he had the strength of he was beaten to complete the game.

One of the best Prince of Persia ports... In my opinion
The best for a lot of reasons. Best soundtrack, more extra stages and content and graphically one of the most beautiful of ports.
so good it´s actually a remake
aaay mai boi in white pijamas is the OG
@@rgbcrafts Only thing lacking is blood interms of falling into spikes or traps... But considering this was nintendo in the day of censorship.. I guess i cant expect that. But graphics, music and design. This is pretty much arguably the best version of the classical prince of persia. May be bias towards DOS because i grew up with it, but SNES was amazing and still is!. Prince of Persia 2 however on SNES.... was horrible :o. .The PC version of that one was good however!
@@kejiri3593 PoP2 was a complete disappointment to me as well. I saw DOS version first, but never played it. Was able to play a lot and finish only on SNES tho.
Un chef d'oeuvre, tout est parfait du jeu, aux couleurs, l'histoire et la merveilleuse musique qui émeut et qui vous emporte au profond des déserts des milles et une nuit...nostalgie...toute mon enfance comme di c'était hier...30 ans en arrière..merci pour ce partage ❤
Salut oui nostalgie , un jeux qui a profondément marqué mon enfance au méme titre que Zelda . Mes enfants se moquent de moi aujourd hui car les jeux vidéos ont tellement évolués mais pour nous c était nouveau et cela restera des moments magiques partagé en famille .
Et un chef d'oeuvre qui permettra la naissance d'un autre chef d'oeuvre grâce à la reprise de ses mécaniques par tuile, petits pas, etc : le 1er Tomb Raider!
25:20 almost gave me a heart attack
eu nao sabia dessa passagem secreta
How did I not know this version even existed ? Added to my list of Must Play
It's a damn good version because the extra levels and features are very nice, like the new traps, bosses, music etc, but there is no blood in this version. Everything else is good, although I'm not sure I like the curly shoes and turban on the Prince. Maybe I just have nostalgia goggles for the white outfit and blond hair in the DOS original.
Do note that it is much more difficult than the original. Time limit is a bit more generous, though.
Man, what a nostalgia trip! I haven't seen it in maybe 20 years. I loved this game. I would make so many drawings inspired by this game. Dungeons with skeletons and fancy temples, spike and jawtraps, and people swordfighting and dying gruesome ways.
Øyvind Høyland when arabics aren't terrorist xd
Don't forget the amazing soundtrack
@@JoNesBlacKkrafkini This was before 9/11. Much of how it was percieved was due to twin towers falling. But yeah, that tragedy overall. Not to get too controversial. But religion in government is bad idea since it scapegoats people usually like marxism or fascist ideologies if it gets in government in terms of wars and chaos. But if i were to say, abrahamic religions were made out of spite not truth. If you look at the history and values of it. And what if promoting some of the values does the opposite? I made a new religious cult. God of Obvious Good and Evil. The real truth. But otherwise a really classic good game!
I did the drawings too!! Drawings like that got me in so many troubles at school! haha good times!
This game test your brain!!
Absolutely a blast to play from beginning to end
The window to the right just before the final boss is brilliant.
1:48:18
Sultan: Did you kill all those guards?! They cost fifty dinars each!
Gente eu quero esse cartucho... Mais tem que ser esse não pode ser outro .. porque era esse que eu jogava aos meus 10 anos de idade que saudade meu Deus ... Obrigada mesmo a você que postou tudo ... Matando a saudade aqui eterna
Incrível né, eu já vi também umas 5x vezes esse vídeo, muito nostálgico
Back in the 90s when I played this, the animation alone was mind bending - that and the level design. The attention to detail was everywhere. Such a fantastic game.
Ah, the music is beatiful, and the game perfect
A mis mas de 30 años recien veo este hermoso final gracias.
As músicas desse jogo marcaram minha infância. Jogo perfeito.
Prince of Persia no es el juego más celebrado de la SNES, quizá por ser una de los tantas conversiones que tuvo el original de PC. O quizá porque no tuvo tanta prensa como Donkey Kong Country y otros "tanques" de la consola, pero es un juegazo igual, totalmente disfrutable aún hoy por su exquisita jugabilidad y diseño técnico.
I remember When my MOM Play this game This is Wonderfull
This game is beautiful
I am not kidding, it is!
Marcou minha infância, que nostalgia. Bons tempos! Como o tempo voa..
Awesome game. Awesome gameplay, really enjoyed watching it.
El mejor PoP de todos, menudos vicios me di con este juego.
I love the music that plays in the initial levels
01:26:18: I love this nod to this scene from "golden voyage of sinbad". Take a look: th-cam.com/video/MhNmVMjxe4Y/w-d-xo.html
This is one of these moments that explain why this game was made with so much love. There were inspired people behind this that really put heart in it.
very good
Great catch!
01:27:06 Not same but... haha th-cam.com/video/ROssbvtE41U/w-d-xo.html
music changes a lot the feeling of this game,
I like how in the SNES version they show you the hero being arrested in front of the princess, and then tell you "little did she know, he was arrested !"
Absolutely awesome longplay! A lot of hidden potions I've never found and the stunt you pulled on level 12 is hilarious.. Never seen that before. However, you miss a hidden potion on level 15. In the seemingly dead-end room with the skeletons and the purple guard you can go to the right through the wall if you jump upwards and then go right. Nevertheless, awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it :D
You missed a hidden potion in level 14, there's a wall next to some spikes in 1:08:51, if you watch carefully usually the walls has black circles but in this wall there are red circles, that is a secret passage and inside there is a potion.......by the way, very nice gameplay
I never got past the intro. But i always loved the aesthetic
I remember playing this as a kid. It was hella stressful any time an enemy would show up.
What a jewel. The graphics are gorgeous to me
This game was insane when it first came out. Nothing else like it on the SNES. Was one of those games where you'd say you would only play for an hour, but then 8 hours passed. Was worth every penny and I really wished they would have included it on the SNES Classic roster :(.
This game is the best version of Prince of Persia.
Only 2 issues: The lack of blood when you die to certain traps. And the weird sound when you swing the sword. Seriously, what's up with that sound effect?
1:29:50 By the way, if you drink that other potion on the left that looks identical to the one on the right, you die.
Very good playing mate!
Being a musician/sample enthusiast one thing I noticed is the string sample used here sounded very similar to what was used in Super Ghouls’n Ghosts. Well I got curious so I extracted the string samples from both games and they’re the same sample! Here in PoP it’s got a little less high EQ and SGnG’s is slightly longer. Both composers must have got it from the same sample library.
Woah that’s cool
Amazing.... Never could beat it...great soundtrack!! Cheers
Tive a felicidade de zerar esse jogo... Fez parte da minha infância...
Dude!! I never seen someone play a game so perfectly like you play this shit!! You dont miss a move!! Every step precisely done. This game looks easy with you playing. Congratulations
The end is like
Princess-
"Oh You're finally here! And you've brought the plague with you."
Prince-
"Yes, the black death"
Mouse-
"Squeek"
Altogether-
"HAZZAH!"
(The END)
Recuerdo con mucha nostalgia este maravilloso juego
This is more like a remaster than a port. There is a lot more stuff than in the other versions.
Then you mean it's a *remake.
A remaster is the original game with better graphics and upscaled resolution. This is more of a remake.
Mi primo siempre traía su SNES para jugar más unos cartuchos, entre ellos este juegazo
Era su reliquia para esos tiempos
Ufff que tiempos
46:10
Y lo que me encanta de este juego es tanto sus misterios para explorar y esos escenarios que presagiaban algún evento o simplemente la hermosura de los paisajes 😘
46:56
También mostraban personajes interesantes como el clon del espejo, un caballero dorado o el wey de los 6 brazos
1:43:48
Una brutalidad
landscapes in the puzzle Maze(Tower)From dark castle
The game has some good-ass music. There's nothing more immersive than good-ass music.
One of the best comment on TH-cam.
@@CallOfEuropeanSpirit IKR?
Indeed, that's why i like this version of PoP over the other ones
Music adds a really immersive atmosphere
living in that kind of palace would be tiring as hell, to make it worse being ruled by a strong dictator. no surprise the princess is irked.
One memorable moment to beat the game . On of my best game in that version
Fuck me! This music takes me 20 years back, reminds me of my childhood :(
Espetacular recordação, marcou minha infância: eu ajudava na locadora de video game e jogava muito nos intervalos. Cada fase e sons estão gravados em meu coração. Obrigado pelo vídeo.
A Legend of Soundtrack at thw beginning since today
such an amazing music
to me, this game that they created is a masterpiece
Starts at 5:54
Never finished to play this game cuz my mom always said me to go to sleep after around level 12.... First time I see the last levels... Thank you for that!
You're welcome 😁
Pause, switch tv off, carry on next day.
I never got past level 3. I sucked at this game lol
@@Kit_Bear I always wrote down the passwords. I was always excited waking up next day to try and beat the game ^^
Esse jogo é a minha infância velho 😍
0⁰
I dont remember this being on snes. Wow. Shows how much i pay attention.
Best version and of the best games for the SNES
couldn't agree more and this is coming from a genesis fan. this version of the game not only absolutely crushes the genesis one, it's easily one of the vest prince of persia games ever made.
@@professorpene2395 I found the Genesis version more fun myself. Controls seemed a bit more responsive, even though it obviously doesn't look as pretty. Each to his own.
Prince of Persia genesis in castle in level 8
I love this game.
And I haven't beaten it yet hahahaha.
Magnificent game!
4:10 That Swordfight Is So Badass 😎
Que saudade! Amo esse jogo.
I wonder if Tomb Raider had any inspiration from this game. The time jumps, the puzzle-solving and the trap designs plays a big part.
Definitely.
So much that Prince of Persia 3D plays a lot like Tomb Raider

One of two games (prince of persia & maxpayne ) that is finished in my life , nostalgia
I remember playing this game on the SNES and it was the first time that I've ever played or seen pop , I remember getting stuck before , but after a while I grabbed it another try and finally passed the level 13 I believe , now try beating a game without guidebook nor internet to help you out , if you can beat it without any help, than you're a freaking legend lol , and the SNES version is the best of them all
fantastico gioco,mi fece impazzire un bel po,molto divertente
ahh...great to see this gem again after all these years since first finding in an arcade in the early '90s. You play it well! Just recently got it going on my og Xbox but controls are a bit clunky (or else I'm not fully proficient with them yet). Always thought Tomb Raider was inspired by it when it came out.
This game was ahead of it time
That soundtrack was dope.
Amazing super nintendo game and ost!!!!
lot of good memories.....thanks
great version of prince of persia by konami
I like how the SEGA CD version has the same art style, character designs, and the actions they perform are basically what they’re saying.
Me lo acabo de pasar 30 años después con el truco de las grabaciones XD sino este juego es eterno. Gracias por la guía
The motion sensor spike and chop are very energy efficient
masterpiece
melhor que estes jogos novos do Prince... Inesquecível!! Deveriam ter feito um filme com esta fantástica trilha sonora e ambientes...
Had this on our familie snes
i was just a kid and the filth and the skeletons deep down in the lower dungeon scared me as much as the gradually more majestic environment in the mid and later levels. I remember the levels becoming more green psychedelic, and the music near the end, maybe level 17/18 was so weirdly composed i felt like drunk. What also scared me were the mirror and the appearances of jafar. And the random sounds of hard closing doors. I remember level 4 or so before the first female boss. It was summer and we ate fries.
Killer colours
Killer music
Killer difficulty
Pure ART👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That OST, though... 🎶🎶🎶
We played the POP one hour game, never heard this two hour game, surprised to it was there.
Holy f..k I loved playin this on the SNES in tha early 90s defo tha best version at tha time, never finished it though, still f..kin buzzin though, and back in tha day we didn't have TH-cam or tha Internet so finishing it woz a Big f..kin deal
oh the memories..
This was my Easter weekend game. I would play it after enjoying my BBQ dinner.
Power on the A/C and switch this on.
Finally reading this cause I was like 4 years old playing this game now I know why theres a timer lol
Soo easy to rage quit this damn game
Este juego es épico uwu me nostalgia y MUCHA :C
I give props to Arsys for not only sticking to the feel of the PC/Mac versions of Prince of Persia when translating it to the SNES and Super Famicom, BUT adding a nice vibrant feel while keeping to the atmosphere and adding more to the game.
Great idea Jafar. Arrest someone, but then put the switch to unlock the door *inside* the cell. You had one job to do, Jafar.
Good video to watch before going to bad
I can't remember those 7-life guards doing the fight-back thingy, I thought they could only block attacks.
If you were one of the twelve people that actually beat this game, I salute you.
The best version of PoP
Mati2124 : which version is the ugliest? Yeah SNES
Correct.
+Maxwell - it's ugly beyond belief. PC and Amiga version obviously superior, even to my budgie...
wich version is this ? were can i play it ?
It has more content, actually has music(and good at that), and has visual variety to the levels. In which universe is the Amiga version better? And how does this version look ugly. Compared to the Amiga version, it has, get this, ACTUAL BACKGROUNDS.
At least say the Macintosh version if you're talking about the graphics!
