Not possible to pass Lvl 2. The exit door never opens. Also, this game is different than the original I used to play as a kid.

That's how you make a classic. Even today, the game's fun and challenging as always. People should go and play without any help, to see how things worked in the past...

In the 1.4 SNES MOD version, it's impossible to pass the second level:
when I push the floor button, the exit port doesn't open.
I completed successfully the 1.4 normal version.

Hi Gypsy,
You have to press the shift key to draw the sword, but you have to pick it up first. You will find next to the skeleton in Level 1.
Hope this helps!

Shif + W gives you the potion to float and fall without dying

Is it possible to get the Apple 2 version of the game on the site as well?

The Apple 2 link automatically gives the DOS version - and while that may be the better version, I would have loved to test the original Apple 2 one.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Some trivia: Whilst this is the original version of PoP, the PC version was actually published a year after the original release - which was on the Apple II in 1989 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZDAPp61aak).

This IS the O.G. PoP. There's people that probably played some of the ports or edits first, especially those people that remember fighting a skeleton on the first level (even more if it's the skeleton close to the sword). I played it back in the 90's with my father's old 386 PC...great times!

PoP Runner 18 Sep. 2018

To people saying its not the right PoP: Yes it is, you remember the shareware/demo
To people saying controlls stuck: Turn off "ease of acces - 5 shift presses" thing

Love this game. It was the 1st one my dad had on our 1st computer in the early 90's! Sure was state of the art then. I can't tell you how many nights I snuck down to play this game until all hours and my eyeballs were popping out. I definitely won the game then but can't see how now LOL! This game is up before I can even begin to get to level 3! Which .... makes me need to ask where the trigger is for the door out of level 2! I can't seem to figure that one out. Glad this is out there. Thank y ou

this is not the true official prince of persia, I played through the first level and it's different, there are extra places and the stuff is not where it's supposed to be. it's like a hack.

Raul Atreides 04 Nov. 2016

Sí que es el juego. Doy fe.
And you can take the sword by pressing "shift" when near. Also shift is used to stay hang in edges and to walk "slowly" to avoid get Shiskebabed or fell in a pit.
