When the mirror has appeared, you have to run towards it, then jump through. You will lose all your lives except one, allowing you to reach the door to the next level -if you've opened it first, which can be done by proceeding to the right, climb down 1 level, then go left, pass the metal teeth, walk onto the "switch/stone".

You'll see your shadow run off in the opposite direction. You will meet it again in a further level.

This was one of the very first games I played in the recent timies
after my very first initiation years ago on Atari game system,
with Flight Simulator, wow was that a long time ago....
Anyway, POP is such a great classic, solid feel, consistent
graphics, and very nice visuals with the scenes that are present
with the various levels. Yes, the mirror image is a fun one,
and one of the special visuals in this first of the game series.

I still love exploring the levels, and testing my skills. What a
great range of ideas melcher (sp?) had in creating this, and
the way one can control the Prince and his actions makes this
a first person adventure even though it is a side view.

Great game. Great series. k:

You actually have to find the sword in the first stage of POP 1,
once you find it you will be carying it with you as you move, and
you (as the prince) will draw it automatically as you approach enemies, guards of various kinds and Jaffar. You can put it away by using the down key,

Here are the directions for using the sword in Prince 1, they are different for
Prince II for in that version you can actually draw the sword for yourself.

during the sword fights, the normal way you make moves becomes different:

UP key.......... Prince blocks an attack. When you do this, it will stop your
opponent's sword and also push you back a bit, so watch out when you are
in front of a ledge, you can be pushed off.

DOWN button........ Prince puts his sword back in his scabbard, and while doing so,
play will change and it reverts back to Normal mode. In this condition, undefended, if you get hit by a guard you are DEAD, only do this if you can run away safely.

LEFT button........ You go one step to the left holding the sword

RIGHT button....... You go to the right ditto

SHIFT button....... You hit out with his sword. Use this to attack a guard. and it
will mean you can stab and hit an opponent. Look at the life bottles at the bottom,
the ones on the left are yours, when they all go out, you are DEAD. the enemies
you meet will have their own life potions at the bottom right, as each one gets
extinguished, they get weaker, and when they are all gone, they die and fall down.
you must learn to use the fighting keys alternatively as they attack or as you attack, you will just need to practice and learn about this. It does get easier. Remember the guard will just stand and block as long as you attack, they will then attack you and move towards you when you dont attack them.
You can switch places with a guard during a swordfight by moving to the left or right. When you move past a guard, you as the prince turn to the opposite side to face the guard.


Good luck it is a great game. k:

I have no Idea how to take out the sword and fight. Can someone help me?

Pressing shift will cause Prince to take out his sword if there's an enemy in sight. Also use shift to wield the sword, plus arrow up and down for other movements (certain ways of blocking) with it. [/b][/quote]
I wouldn't agree with this. :blink:


IF YOU HAVE a sword, you can take it out if you simply stop running. (there must be an oppoment near)
To collect a sword, in first level, you should go to the left, as far as possible, and there you will see it laying on the ground, and shining..... :w00t:

Ouch sorry... apparently I confused the keys a little with Prince 2 :whistle:

Yes in POP 2 the sword can be used at the player's volition,
in POP 1 only when there is an enemy near. It is still lots of
fun and takes practice especially when you get to the blue
guards who are very quick and watch you like a hawk. You
will meet them later on in the game, for now at the beginning,
get used to the moves and enjoy the journey! The Princess
awaits!

Does someone know, how to get the large potion in Level 5 ? There's always the shadow stealing it, before I can reach.
