Very talkative runner. I really like these kinds of runs. Great job.

Probably the first thing I learnt to do on a computer.

The architect who designed the palace really needs to do something about adding better supports for the tile floors.

I remember playing this on a monochrome monitor, making all potions the same. Had to note down which were poison and which increase HP :)

Aw man... when I was a kid I got into a kind of speedrun war in this game, with my mother of all people. She blew me out of the water. She got her time under 30 minutes.

I remember playing it as a 4yo. It was brutally difficuly and I was horrified by the sound of the silver choppers. I was so afraid of being caught by one of them.. Oh and wtf, a saving mechanism?! You tell me that now, 20 years later?

Great run, great runner. Thanks ;)

[Thanatos]

This game has caused so much frustration and greif. And he blows through it like its nothing. Speedrunners have super powers i just know it

[grizzlywhisker]

capnclever is my favorite speed runner not only because of his skill but he does a really good job of explaining what he's doing while he's doing it.

Early 90's DOS games were magical. PoP is a prime example of what they were like... Retro but still modern at the same time. Really cool, I remember them fondly.

6:54 "well fed guard". Love the euphemism.

2:07 "It is clearly a very combat oriented game! - Fun fact is that the combat system came late in the development. As the first idea was to have a pacifistic approach. It was one of Jordan Mechner's friends who convinced him that he had to have some combat. Source: Ars Technica

The animation of this game is amazing, especially if you consider how old it is as well.

[prakharchaurasiya]

If somebody were to play this game for the first time, it wouldn't matter how much of a "professional gamer" they are. They will lose again and again and again.

[Pillowcase]

this game scared the shit out of me as a kid - I never got by first dude with the sword. I think the realistic animation freaked me out.

[lLostGems]

I wish this game was more popular as a speedrunning game, I love the nostalgia vibe this game gives off

[user]

I used to sketch different levels in the style of this game on pieces of paper when I used to play this as a kid!

[magicmundane]

Such a fantastic run, I was pleasantly surprised by how great it was and how much I enjoyed it. Thanks CapnClever for showing off this game.

[Findulidas]

I couldnt beat this game as a kid, then went back as a young teenager and felt like a champ. It is actually a difficult game.

[RMJ]

This was a joy to watch :)

I miss old games, they had a certain simplicity about them..
