One day, he scales the palace walls to catch a glimpse of the Princess, whose beauty is like the "moonrise in the heavens". The Prince is an orphan, living on the streets.

As a child, Jordan Mechner had enjoyed the tales from the The Book of One Thousand and One Nights and the settings for this game are changed to Persia.

Prince of Persia also influenced a sub-genre, which imitated the sprawling non-scrolling levels, fluid animation, and control style pioneered by Prince. This was achieved by interspersing intelligent puzzles and deadly traps all along the path the Prince had to take to complete the game-all this packaged in fluid, life-like motion. The game managed to surprise and captivate the player despite being at first glance, repetitive. Mechner has said that when he started programming, the first ten minutes of Raiders of the Lost Ark had been one of the main inspirations for the character's acrobatic responses in a dangerous environment.Īfter the original release on the Apple II, Prince of Persia was ported to a wide range of platforms, including the Amiga, Apple Macintosh, DOS, NES, Game Boy, Sega Mega Drive, Game Gear, SNES, Sharp X68000, Atari ST and SAM Coupé. Also unusual was the method of combat: protagonist and enemies fought with swords, not projectile weapons, as was the case in most contemporary games. Mechner used a process called rotoscoping, in which he studied many hours of film of his younger brother David - a traceur - running and jumping in white clothes, to ensure that all the movements looked just right. Prince of Persia (Also known as POP) is a platform game, originally developed by Jordan Mechner in 1989 for the Apple II, that was widely seen as a great leap forward in the quality of animation seen in computer games.
