For folks who've asked for details about the story behind Prince of Persia (rotoscoping my brother on VHS, etc), you'll find many answers on my website at https://jordanmechner.com -- and if you want to go deeper, in my published journals and my graphic novel memoir REPLAY.

@jmechner I just read REPLAY last week; a story beautifully told with tragedy, humour and history.

@jmechner I had no idea the original was rotoscoped! My friend growing up had Sands of Time, which was my introduction to the series.

@jmechner Oh gosh, I had no idea how those animations were made! PoP is just about the first video game I remember seeing, so it's quite special to me. Back then, I was too young to understand how to get past the first few screens, mind 😃
