Ep.58 – Goodnight, My Sweet Prince

We dive into the journals of American author, screenwriter, and video game developer, Jordan Mechner to learn all about 1989's Prince of Persia. Our deep dive has us looking at Mechner's early successes before Prince of Persia before discussing everything he's done since. As perhaps the earliest cinematic platformer, we talk at length about what Prince of Persia's legacy means to the gaming community. Finally, we take a brief foray into Mechner's movie credits as we talk about the largest grossing video game adaptions of all time. Join us for this rotoscoping trip down Memory Card Lane.
