Pues he acabado de leer "The Making of Prince of Persia", de Jordan Mechner, y me ha gustado mucho más de lo que me esperaba.
Son los diarios de 1985 a 1993, centrados sobre todo en el desarrollo del juego y la romería de las conversiones a otras plataformas, con un montón de anotaciones, dibujos y material creativo del juego.
Recomendadísimo.
: "Tetris Forever", "Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story" con @llamasoft_ox@toot.wales y "The Making of Karateka" con @jmechner@mastodon.art . 
Just finished reading “REPLAY: Memoir of an uprooted family” by @jmechner
It’s beautiful. A work of art, and love.
Do yourself a favor: buy it and read it (and while you’re at it, I also suggest getting the 30th anniversary edition of “The Making of Prince of Persia”).
Check out the latest review on Kelleher Bros. (That's right, we do books too.) #ReplayMemoir #JordanMechner

BTW: One of the things I learned from Jordan Mechner in his documentary?
HOW TO PRONOUNCE "KARATEKA"
Since I was 10yo, I've said, "ka-RAH-tek-ah".
Jordan pronounces his game, "care-uh-TEK-uh".
I also really like the back of the box, very neat.
Thanks again to Jordan Mechner for creating this great video game 
And what a magnificent box!

The box includes a 512 Kb floppy disk and a nice manual for PC (DOS) and Apple versions 
There is a manual for Atari ST/Amiga which was sold in smaller boxes.

I still can't believe I finally own this edition of Prince of Persia 
I've been looking for this Amiga version for years!
One of my favorite games/cover arts of all time

So happy to own this beautiful drawing by Jordan Mechner
A tribute to the original artwork painted by Robert Florczak 
Did you notice the little detail he added?

Here's the sequence from the film Robin Hood that Jordan Mechner used for the sword fights in Prince of Persia.
It must have taken a lot of time and patience to draw the frames in pixels!

A tribute I paid to Prince of Persia a few years ago 
Jordan Mechner himself was inspired by a scene from the film Robin Hood for the sword fights

Happy birthday to Prince of Persia, which turns 35 today! 
Played for the first time on Amiga 
And it's still one of my all-time favorite games

I remember it like it was yesterday! 
Not knowing what to do, I finally jumped through the mirror and...
I think this is the first time I've been so surprised by a video game!
And that's something I always keep in mind when I'm creating a game.
Thank you @jmechner
