Old DOS Game: Prince Of Persia

Posted By: BioTecK on Sunday 10 August 2008 with 23 Comments

Don’t you just love playing games? Well I do! Especially when it’s an old game and with old games I mean really OLD! Games which you used to play in DOS, games like Prince Of Persia. I know I loved to play it back then! :smile: Ok, The graphics is worthless compared to the graphics of the new games and consoles, like Nintento Wii. Even now I’m a big fan of the Prince Of Persia games! :mrgreen:
Anyway, did you knew that even now it’s possible to play the old game on your brand new, fast computer!?

The only thing you have to do is download the game from DOS Games Archives, unzip it and start the game with DOS. If you’ve forgotten how to use DOS, I can help you a bit! :razz:

  1. Save the game on your desktop.
  2. Unzip the game.
  3. Go to Start.
  4. Go to RUN.
  5. Type CMD and press Enter.
  6. In the CMD screen you’ll probably start at Documents and Setting/ USERNAME. Type cd desktop to go to your desktop.
  7. type cd 4dprince to go to the game’s directory. NOTE: In this case I have extracted the game into a directory named exactly liked the zipped file.
  8. type 4D_PRIN.exe and press Enter to play the game.

Now enjoy the old DOS game! :razz:

    Oh hell yeah. Prince or Persia is old school NES. I have this game on my phone. I handle it each time I have a few minutes to kill. Good stuff. Simply classic.

    Many of these old games seem to be making a come back, especially on the mobile phones. I normally do not use the word DOS as its use gives my age away. :-)

    I never used DOS so obviously I don’t know how to play the King of Persia game. But how I wish I know the game so I can relate with you. Looks like a cool game to me, too.

    I still have to find the Prince Of Persia game for my HTC P4350 Metallman. So if you where I can download it, please feel free to contact me! ;)

    LOL..Same here Shaxx! Maybe this time I will!

    It’s actually pretty cool to play it with my 20″ screen Fool.

    Yeah, good old times R1ooooos! :razz:

    Cool.. I really need to find that game for my phone Miah! In the mean time I’ll continue playing Tetris on my phone! :razz:

    Prince Of Persia is still one of my favorite games Schanzerx! I have it on the PC AND on my Nintendo Wii! :mrgreen:

    Yeah.. This games are pretty small and have very simple graphics and can be run on a lot of phones Sailor.

    I figured that they are people who haven’t used DOS in the past so that’s why you can follow the step in the post and you’ll be able to play the game too Hye Munar! ;)

    and the classics:
    - tetris
