Is your version of POP1 an enhanced version or something, because your levels 3 and 7 have a green hue, and also the 'parry' sound effect is different.

[SprintGod]

There are three known DOS versions. The gameplay is the same in all of them, but some minor tweaks were made.

v1.0 is the original release.

v1.3 changed some of the level colours, added a proper setup program, and changed the cheat command from "megahit" to "improved".

v1.4 (the version used here) was just a minor update to the setup for newer systems.

Is this run tool-assisted?

[SprintGod]

No, though it was recorded using an emulator since I didn't have a soundcard with DOS drivers.

The game only runs at 12fps, so it's pretty easy to memorise and perfectly time everything. The guards are generally the only problem.

How do you switch positions with the enemy like ay 00:44-00:45

This is stupid question but i would really need some help.

[SprintGod]

Walk into them with the sword drawn.

This was my favourite game when I was a kid. 5/5

[Baldoxxx4000]

this games harder than the new PoP

[Tsukiyomaru0]

Using exploits such as "skip duel" is cheating, IMO. My fastest speedrun was in PoP Classic for J2ME phones, with all the levels. Took less than 30 min to complete it.

One of my f-a-v-o-u-r-i-t-e games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[higorbrazilian]

I edit the maps and change the skill of all guards to 10(and the game get a litlle more harder)

[justabaldguy]

@Viropol I agree, well done Sprint. Both speed run and notations are top quality, one of the best vids I've seen so far on any game.

[SuperDENIST]

can you give me this game?

[TheKing24game]

5:13 I to fight with the fat guard :D

Wish there were lots of them in the game.

[Meganova1994]

Thumbs up if you pressed Ctrl + A

[ispitthetruth]

how do you record with dosbox? do you need a cap card?

[Viropol]

That's the best use of annotations I've seen on any video on YouTube. Usually they are just used for "Check out my other videos" and other spam. Credit for using them constructively :)
