What Prince of Persia Looked Like on a Real 486

This isn't DOSBox. This is Prince of Persia on a real 486 from 1993.

In 1989, rotoscoping made every movement look real. No Sound Blaster option. Just the PC speaker. But when your graphics looked THIS good... it was enough.

Real hardware. Real rotoscoping. BOOM!

👇 ABOUT THIS CHANNEL 👇

Hey, it's Tom from Texas, and here's why I do what I do— Floppy Deep Dive is all about real hardware, real nostalgia, and keeping the 8-bit magic alive. I make these videos for the folks who grew up on crackling CRTs, spent Saturdays swapping floppies, and still smile when the SID chip kicks in. This isn't about "who wins" or which frame is crispier—it's about reliving the era, having fun with these weird and wonderful games, and building a community that appreciates the quirks, the charm, and yes, even the "craptacular" moments of classic computing. If that's your vibe, you're in the right place. If not… there's always TikTok. Thanks for watching, supporting, and keeping the retro flame burning. BOOM!
