The Making of Prince of Persia by Jordan Mechner

4.0

While certainly not for everyone, this book is a great read, and a terrific look at the creation of one of the greatest games of all-time. I especially liked it since A) I grew up playing the original Apple IIc version of Prince of Persia B) I'm a video game producer by trade, and so it's great to read such a detailed account of how games were made long before I entered the industry and C) Mechner is from my hometown of Chappaqua, New York, so any references to local places brought back tons of memories of my own.

I can't say how it will read to someone without those particular ties to the book, but to me, it was great. Highly recommended.
