- The game takes place eleven days after the events of the first game. During this period, the Prince was hailed as a hero who defeated the evil Jaffar. He turns down all riches and instead asks for the Princess' hand in marriage as his reward, to which the Sultan of Persia reluctantly agrees. The game begins as the Prince enters the royal courts of the palace. Before he enters, his appearance changes into that of a beggar. Nobody recognizes him and, when he attempts to speak with the Princess, a man who shares his appearance (Jaffar, who is magically disguised) emerges from the shadows, ordering him to be thrown out. With guards pursuing him, the Prince jumps through a window and flees the city by way of a ship.
Game: Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow & The Flame
Platform: Macintosh version played on Mini vMac II (Mac OS 7.5.5.)

15:56 I'm amazed this part here made it past playtesting. The whole game you are meant to delay and avoid skeletons and now suddenly this particular skeleton you have to kill in this super specific, no room for error, kind of way.
Sidenote: releasing Jinnee (the little guy at 47:20) is completely optional. However, in different versions of the game, Jinnee opens the main gate.
17:46 😅
"Hey, can you hold it? Thanks" 👳
It’s always great to see full playthroughs of Mac versions of games, and PoP2 in particular. Nice work!
Thanks!
Jordan Mechner (creator of Prince series) wrote a detail plot of Prince 2 SnF for developers. The pdf is available in internet. As per the document, the flying heads were meant to be of both men and women and even including children! In the mac version the heads with short hair are supposedly male while in ms dos version, all heads are female.
can you tell more about this book and where can I find it
@@abhirajdeore1910 search 'pop2bible' in Google, it should be found.

Great game, great memories. How I wish they would make a remaster of this game for the current hardware...
لعبت اللعبة من أكثر من 27 سنة . فما أسرع الايام 😢😢
I couldn't hear the sound of this game because there was no sound card in my desktop when I played this game 30 years ago.
Finally, I heard the sound of this game today for the first time and I realized once again how well-made this game is.
My child game, this game have Memory i love this game.
Thanks for sharing man
Such a good looking game!! :D I've only played the beginning to this (can't remember the platform) and I've played a good chunk of the 1st game! :)
Interesting to see the inspiration for the Sands of Time trilogy. I can see the forerunners to the Dark Prince (originally a doppelganger early in Two Thrones' development), the vizier (who is the doppelganger in this game), Farah (the princess) and possibly Kaileena (through the witch at the end). Warrior Within even recycled this game's broken sword idea. Perhaps the Two Thrones would have closer matched this game, if the developers had not changed the Two Thrones as much in the development cycle.
Man Mac ports of these two games was my initiation into gaming. Haven't stopped yet lol.
best port of the game so far

MY FAV GAME ONES UPON A TIME
Thanks for this upload 🙏
Back in the days when Apple wasn’t so popular - even now, gaming-wise, it’s not the case. But I distinctly remember feeling blessed to experience Prince of Persia 2 (POP2) on my trusty Mac LCIII. The graphical superiority of POP2 and its predecessor, coupled with Marathon outshining DOOM for us Mac users, made our gaming world truly unique.
Comparing POP2 to POP1, the visuals were a marvel on my Mac LCIII, creating a more beautiful gaming landscape. However, the gameplay unfolded like a captivating yet slightly chaotic dance - not always in sync. Despite its stunning graphics, POP2 felt rushed and had its share of quirks. Still, I find myself yearning for a POP3, a conclusion to the original story with the hero we know and love, blending the cohesiveness of POP1 with the beauty of POP2 in the same 2D style. That's a dream I still hold onto.
In the gaming landscape where Apple wasn't the primary player, those moments with POP2, POP1, and Marathon on my Mac felt like having exclusive tickets to a captivating show. Good times indeed!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm thinking about doing the Marathon playthrough soon.
@@RetroGamingKat that would be so sick bro looking forward to it 🔥
Mann waren dass Zeiten 1992
This looks like it would've been a really good game at the time.
good grafic
Ok, I am certain I did beat this game as a kid. There is no way I would have figured out the ending puzzles
lol, PoP2 is darker than first game. this is scary for children haha
The spider terrified me when I fell through several floors and died in front of it. Scariest thing I'd ever seen in a game, and I knew I'd have to face it if I ever made it all the way down.
Also the screaming and thuds were perturbing lol
スペランカーよりましです あっちに行くと危険だよと分かりますね
Yes, I played the MS-DOS version as a 10 year old when it first came out in 1993. Even at that age the flying heads freaked me out a little bit. They made frequent appearances in my dreams at night. Definitely not a game for very young children.
My computer didn’t have a sound card yet in 1993 either, so all the music and sound effects came through the PC Speaker. I’ll never forget the first time I opened a gate inside the ruins. The high pitched pulsing sound effect scared the crap out of me and I thought I had triggered some kind of head summoning device. It wasn’t until I understood the sound to be an off screen gate opening and closing in another room that I calmed down. The digitized gate sound effect is so much less jarring than the PC Speaker version. The PC Speaker version almost sounds like an alarm going off. The high pitched pulsing is reminiscent of the shower music in Hitchcock’s Psycho. Totally unsettling until you figure out why your computer is making that noise.
omg dude i use to play tis when i was like 7 years old when in like 2010
I doesn't know the mac version has better graphics than the DOS version
Yeah I keep noticing nearly every single old computer game looks better on mac
Lol mac version is pretty much remastered POP2
But in terms of gameplay and music, DOS > MAC, call me that because of nostalgia or whatever but I like it more than the mac version even if it has less graphics than mac
I would hesitate to say that it looks significantly better on the Mac even. Yes, the Mac version has higher resolution, but lacks the color depth of the DOS version. The DOS version utilized all 256 colors, but the Mac version had to set aside part of the palette for the Mac system interface. In total, the Mac version only utilized somewhere around 230-240 colors (a ballpark guess). Also, the Mac version didn’t utilize the full 640x480 screen resolution. It had a black frame around a centered picture, similar to what you see in Myst or Riven. Overall, the DOS implementation was far superior, especially if you use a Roland CM-32L for the music like I do.
@@MordacksOrgan Also, the caves look quite weird.
I always, always burned on the blue fire. It was impossible to know what to do there!
54:30 My dad and I never beat the level 3-4 haha
ゲームとは？と思い知らせて もらったゲームです 支持が高いことが 驚いています 難度高く優良ゲームですねΣ(￣ロ￣lll)
Nice walkthrough, thanks! But why didn't you take a big bottle on level 5?
Thanks! When I was practicing this level, a texture for that bottle usually didn’t load correctly. So I just skipped it like every other time.
Prince of Persia games on Mac were much good looking compared to the original DOS versions that looks like Minecraft games.
Well... almost. I prefer the DOS version of those flying heads. They also have a loud shriek when they detect you. They also have a loud cry when they die that make you feel sad for killing them.
The performance is equally poor on both, as compared to PoP 1. You are sure to miss a tile at least once in the game while doing a running jump on PoP 2. The difference is between life and death.
Great footage and preservation. I shall try the way you played it, I can never get mac emulation to work for whatever reason
Thanks! I’ve found Mini vMac II the most stable for PoP2.
@@RetroGamingKat Can you send me a link or maybe a Google Drive of this emulator your using along with the rom file your using? I can't seem to get any Mini Mac myself to work...
I really wish someone would reverse-engineer Mac version of both PoP and PoP2 and re-release them to other platform like Windows and Linux. I know we have SDLPop but it's ported from DOS version in which graphics is hugely cheaper and the port isn't compatible with Mac version's game assets.
Why they not choose to make pixel art PoP again. Making it with the same art style and brutal like Blasphemous
Which key to attack with sword?
I played this with my sister when I was a child
How did your sis react during the levels of flying heads?
@@supratikghoshal5561 It's was fun playing on my family computer
No wonder I never completed the game, too hard for 12 year old. lol
It was fairly difficult. I got it in November 1993 when I was 10 but didn’t beat it until May 1995 shortly before I turned 12. In kid years, that’s a really long time.
Kat's ENIAC, how to get full screen like your in Mini vMac II? Thanks.
Press and hold down the ‘CTRL’ key and, without releasing it, press 'H', then 'F' key.
@@RetroGamingKat Thanks, but my Windows resolution is 1920x1080
and doing CTRL+H+F works, but remains black borders also up and down.
Small black bars on the top and the bottom are result of PoP2's hardcoded resolution. That's why the best way to play is just vMac with enabled magnification. Black bars aren't visible in the video because of OBS settings, not the emulator's. You can try other emulators like BasiliskII or Sheepshaver, there is also an option to compile a custom version of vMac, but the problem is more on the game's side.
Hi there, did you play the game on original hardware or used an emulator?
I used Macintosh emulator called Mini vMac II.
Como se puede sacar la espada
I see Prince Have a different hat
Can you do download tutorial please
Essa versão 2 do jogo foi uma decepção muito grande.....😢 Mais ainda tem quem gosta......nada contra 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Anyway to play this version on windows PC
54:27 Game Over.
It's meant to do that in order to get blue flame.
Bro anyway to play it on Android, through emulation I have played the remake but that's trash.
Не прошёл дальше 4:50
controls are horrible , and it is such a pity , because the game looks great , but honestly i tried 20 times to pass the 1st level , but always the same shit with the controls
