I played this with my big brother. Yeah, those were the days...

Dude, this is the firs game I ever played on a Computer, on my Mac Quadra 94.. Men, it was scary as hell to see those fiery teeth gates go clank clank clank...
Anyway, to go through lvl 1 without picking up the sword, you must make the first enemy follow you as long as you can left, then go up and high as you can, then go right and down again.. If you have done everything right, you will fall at the back of the first guard, who will turn and start following you again in his slow attack-stance walk. Open the lvl door and you are on lvl 2. WITH A SWORD. Yeah, i know, it's kinda cheaty to pass it like that.. But hey, time is running out.

^That's one I haven't heard before. How much time does that save? I'll have to give it a try.

I don't agree. Sometimes all you want is to see the story of the game unravel. I mean, if you're playing pitfall on the Atari 2600, yeah, don't cheat. There's no story. It's a game of skill. Trust me, getting to the end of story-less games of pitfall is not what it's about. However, getting to see how the game end without investing hundreds of hours of play time is more than worth it to me. Espceally since now, as I get older, I find myself with less and less time to invest in playing games. So I "cheat" or get a walk-thru and just run though the game but seeing all the important stuff. Hey, I'm happy with it.

Did you guys know that you don't have to go all the way to the sword in the first level? You can easly pass the gaurd without it and in the next level you'll have to sword with you.

First lure him to the screen you came from, nearly to the wall. Climb that wall and go to the next screen to the left. There are some falling tiles on the cilling. Break them and return to the starting point. Now you can fall throught the hole and escape toward the exit.(right side) If the gaurd isn't in far enough to the left you wont be able to escape, he'll kill you before you'll make it.

I still cant get the jump-grab thing working, not quite sure why


and im not using an emulator which makes me wonder why it slows down alot


but luckily the roof-passage in the first level made it simple to get around the guard

[gregor]

you press the jump = up + left (or right)
you press and hold shift

you have to learn it because in some levels tiles will fall down on you and you will have to press shift to hold on to the ledge.

to practice try stepping all the way to the ledge turn arround and press down+shift. now as long as you hold shif (grab) you won't fall down. once you release it you fall. if you press up he will climb back up again.

Yep! It's quite easy once you get the hang of it Actually need to do just that soon as you start, saves one life (health)!

I bought myself a 486 laptop to play this game :w00t:
No hard disk, no cd-rom, only floppy DOS and Prince. Propably soon I'll buy HDD to get better old-school games, since I've this site and lot of good stuff

[whatshisface]

GAHHHH!!! how do you swap places with the guards!!
thx

[Japo]

You don't have to swap places, you have to kill them. Anyway if you get pretty close and keep closing you'll end up swapping.
