From the original 2D classic created by Jordan Mechner in 1989, to the exciting latest chapters from Ubisoft and Evil Empire, Prince of Persia gamers in every generation have taken sword in hand in an epic quest to save a kingdom. Might you be one?

Created on an Apple II by Jordan Mechner in his Yale dorm room in 1984, Karateka became a #1 bestseller and influenced a generation of gamers with its groundbreaking rotoscoped animation and cinematic storytelling. Now you can play the original game, and explore and share Jordan's journey creating it, in Digital Eclipse's The Making of Karateka — a playable interactive documentary packed with rare design documents, audio and video interviews, and faithfully emulated and remastered versions of Jordan's early games.

Acclaimed as one of the best adventure games of all time, The Last Express puts the player on board the Orient Express in July 1914, as the fabled luxury train departs Paris for Constantinople on the eve of World War I. Step into the shoes of Robert Cath, a fugitive American doctor with a mysterious past, as an urgent telegram from his best friend plunges him into a maelstrom of conspiracy, romance and murder.

Mechner became the first game designer-turned-screenwriter to successfully adapt his own creation as a feature film with this 2010 summer blockbuster, which set a new record and held the crown for six years as the world's highest-grossing movie based on a video game. A rogue prince (Jake Gyllenhaal) and a mysterious princess (Gemma Arterton) race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time — a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Jordan Mechner teamed up with Ubisoft to reinvent his 1989 classic side-scroller as a modern console game in this breakout hit of 2003. Acclaimed for its atmospheric story set in mystical Persia, gravity-defying acrobatic parkour action, and gameplay innovations including a time-reversing dagger, The Sands of Time relaunched Prince of Persia as a global franchise and influenced a new generation of action-adventure gaming.

Narrated by Cheech Marin and scored by Ry Cooder and Lalo Guerrero, Jordan's 2003 half-hour documentary film tells the bittersweet story of an American community betrayed by greed, political hypocrisy, and good intentions gone astray. Don Normark's haunting black-and-white photographs reclaim and celebrate Chavez Ravine, a closely-knit Mexican-American village that once overlooked downtown Los Angeles from the hill where Dodger Stadium now stands.

Winner of the "Best Short Documentary" International Documentary Association Award.

Created on an Apple II in 1989, Jordan Mechner's groundbreaking 2D platformer thrusts the player into the shoes of an imprisoned adventurer with one hour to escape from his dungeon, defeat the grand vizier Jaffar, and save a princess. Prince of Persia's combination of fluid animation with a dramatic narrative experienced through gameplay set the template for the modern action-adventure genre.
