I'm loving this throwback to the 80s gaming scene! 
The story of Prince of Persia is like a puzzle itself – Mechner took pieces from various games and managed to create something entirely new and amazing. His use of manual digitization to get those smooth animations was so innovative for its time! 
The Shadowman, though? That's pure genius!
I mean, who else could make an enemy that's basically a dark mirror image of the hero? The way Mechner balanced action and animation on the Apple II's limited hardware is like a masterclass in problem-solving. Byte-shifting? Who knew it was a thing?
Anyway, Prince of Persia's influence can still be seen today – and that's what makes this game so cool!

He's like, totally proof that if you're passionate about something, you can make it happen even when things get tough

Jordan Mechner's story is literally the ultimate underdog tale 
I mean, think about it, he manually photographed frames from his bro's vids just to get the animo right 
and then had to deal with the Apple II's tiny memory constraints 
But did he give up? Nope! He was like "I got this!" 
The fact that it influenced an entire genre of action-adventure games is just mind-blowing 
That's dedication right there! Jordan Mechner's story is such an inspiring reminder that innovation and perseverance are key to creating something truly timeless. And let's be real, the Shadowman is still one of the coolest game villains ever 
. It's amazing how a game that was originally made for the Apple II went on to influence so many other genres and inspire future games. The fact that it even got a movie adaptation in 2010? That's just awesome
