I've created a complete video walkthrough for PoP 1. It's 20 minutes, so it doesn't beat the record Smile, but it shows the basic tricks needed to play fast.

You can download it from here: http://www.archive.org/download/pop1_walkthrough/walkthrough.avi (38 MB)

The video is in ZMBV (dosbox capture format), while the audio is encoded with the lossy Vorbis codec (I didn't want 30MB video + 130MB audio Wink), so you'll need both codecs to play it.

Note: It seems to me that playing with sound on adds about 10 seconds to levels 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and about 5 seconds to level 4, since timing continues while you go up the stairs and the music is playing. This is probably a bug of prince Wink.

It's around 17 minutes. See http://www.fys.ruu.nl/~dijkema/prince/prince.html.

They have completed it in 17 minutes 36 seconds and wrote a walkthrough about that, which is accessible on their site. There is a high-score section as well, which does not work currently, but when it worked, 16 minutes 31 seconds was the shortest time shown there. I don't know whether to trust it, since anyone may submit their own results there Wink.

If you completed the game without passing guards and without saving, then 50 minutes is quite a good result. If you would like to save time, read the hints there or perhaps in this forum. Or watch this movie Razz. There are some quite effective time-savers. And, if you didn't so far, use the save function, it makes things easier.

You were trying to view the file as text in your browser. Instead, right-click the link, choose "Save As..." and open it with your favourite media player when downloading has finished. Don't forget to install the ZMBV codec; to do that, follow the link in jalal's post.

You have to install the Ogg Vorbis codec.

Laughing Great Job! I just downloaded it (or I am at it now and hope it works). It's been awhile since I played the game, but sort of now getting into the mood of playing again. Very Happy

Download and installed DosBox and DosShell, however, cannot get the walkthrough to work. It loads Media Player and goes through, but now video is seen.
