Hi, Jordan Mechner here. You might know my video games (Prince of Persia, etc)💾🎮 I've recently written and drawn a graphic novel memoir, "Replay"📕It's my story of 4 decades making games, and my family's story of surviving two world wars.
Check it out- reviews, excerpts, trailer at https://jordanmechner.com/books !
To write and draw REPLAY, I used 3 color palettes (as in Apple II) for the 3 timelines: Blue💙for my younger years making games in 1980s-90s, yellow💛for present day, sepia🤎for my dad's and grandfather's stories.
Blue and yellow interweave in this 3-page excerpt about the never-completed 2D Prince of Persia trilogy.
📒If you've already read REPLAY and are curious about the background, history, or creative process behind it, the QR code on the last page of the book💾 will take you to my "director's commentary" REPLAY annex:

Or for the French edition:

It's an excellent book, poignant at times, and the crisscrossing of times and places makes for a fascinating view of the 20th century.
And the French version is very well translated. It's great.
