brilliant what ? the only cool thing was my idea of making the guards fall off the edge or kill them by their own traps etc... other than that POP can be played in one way pal !
I used to have a computer from 1993 that had the original pop game on it on floppy and a game called challenge of the ancient empires. I can home from school in 2001 when I was 12 to find a huge gap where my computer used to be. So I go down stairs to ask my dad where's my computer and he told me "I took it down to the dump!" I went BERSERK!!!! In 22 years he has never said sorry for throwing away one of my most sentimental things after my rabbit.
@@rgmsx2003 Thanks, I've been searching for one ever since. The original floppy game had a few extra bits on it that the CD versions don't. If you play the game 22ice in a row, the 2nd run some of the levels are slightly different. On level 6 the hole in front of the big soldier is smaller, if you hang down from that hole he walks over you sending you to your death.
@@rgmsx2003 I m the only one who noticed that I m sure ! I don't have to remind you my friend lol ! Since 96 with PC and since 92 with gameboy, Atari and Tetris console etc...
Cause games don't flow in your veins like they do in me ! I was born a player , not a pro gamer but I never mashed buttons in any game even my first time ! Cause I knew somehow that there are skills and moves to be learned !
Motion capture of a programmer's brother was used. The animation itself was already there in 1986: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZW_eExHpTZI.html And as of this technique in general, it was used no later than 1952 (human characters there were not hand-drawn but captured): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1FtcZy6fow0.html Of course it is still impressive.
Sisters DOS PC got donated in ´97 and that was the first time i had an existential crisis (i was 6). Then in 2004 i bought a cheap CD with games and there was this game :)
i m still one of the first people playing POP in 96 ! and it was already preinstalled on my IBM pc that my father bought me when i was 13, NB speakers, CDROM, WIN95, Winapp player, and i used to watch movies on my pc thanks to the VCD technology at that time the DVX and once DVD came to life i bought it then bought a DVDROM for my Pentium 4 PC , before that i had i P2 pc then 3 the 4 then dual core then I5 Dell i evolved from 95 to 10 !
Do you have the version of POP where you have to play the game twice to complete it? One of the original pop games when you play the game twice some of the levels are slightly different.
@@rgmsx2003 I can't get the potion on level 5, but I heard there is a way but it's just very difficult. Have you ever played challenge of the ancient empires or Monkey Island? There are some fantastic old games out there, I enjoy them more than todays games. I remember a paint game where there is a button that makes objects flash in rainbow colours. I can't remember it's name because it was a while ago. Unfortunately my dad threw away the computer in 2001 when I was 12, what a bad day! )': !!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to have a game called max 2 but it's full of glitches and bugs that render it impossible to play after a while, brilliant game while it lasted though! Have you ever been able to play flight simulator from 1979?
We need more games like Prince of Persia 1989. With retro game styles becoming more popular, I think more cinematic platformers should be made. I really want to work on something like that but dont have a team :/
@@rgmsx2003 Ah well, I know there's an active modding commumity and I've played mods myself but I'm more looking to make a completely new game, just with this type of realistic movement many platformers dont have
It was fun watching your game play .especially 11 level , some levels could have been worked better like 2,3,4(if max life-potion was skipped),5,7 - can be interpreted in a different way .... secrets missed in 6, but everyone has their own style of playing and route . and you were awesome ..if you have time play Repetition of Time - pop1.
I always take most life potions… I'm glad you liked it, you were right at saying that everyones has its own style for playing. I may play that mod again someday. 😊
Consider the time , It was also one of the oldest mod released that too within few years of original and with few resources ,and i am against the idea that if its a mod everything should be different .Atleast at some parts we get the Original feeling ..and as some feel that modder was lazy i dont want to be rude but it might be true or wouldnt say lazy but needed time because the in actual released game level 11 was corrupted and impossible to play ..It was fixed by David or needs to be fixed manually .
Dude I was playing this game when I was 4 or 5, everyday I was stuck at the shadow, I remember that level and it took me 24 years to see that princess saved😂
