The Making of Prince of Persia by Jordan Mechner
5.0
An amazing view into the mind of a creator, no game knowledge required.
Super cool book. Jordan Mechner might be best known for Prince of Persia, but this is a man who did much more than what you'd expect from a "simple" game programmer. This is a man who travelled the world, wrote screenplays, made films, and contemplated life. This book is a diary he kept while making PoP, but it's also about so much more. An excellent page-turner, and shows how Mechner is truly unique, as a creator who touches pretty much all media he can.
