I've created a complete video walkthrough for PoP 1. It's 20 minutes, so it doesn't beat the record , 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 ), 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 . |

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 .
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 . 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. _________________ o o o o o - - - - o - o o - - o - - - o - o

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. |

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. |
