The Making of Karateka brings an essential and exhilarating piece of game history to life
When you first fire up The Making of Karateka, Digital Eclipse’s excellent interactive retrospective about Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner’s 1984 masterpiece, you’re greeted with this quote from his journals, written when he was just 18 years old: “My goal for this summer is to finish Karateka. If it’s half as big as I dream it may be, that should be enough to launch me into the Video Game World.
I know those who have no nostalgic connection to the original game will have a hard time seeing Karateka’s greatness. At this point, so many games have built on what Karateka does that it can be almost impossible to even recognize what it’s doing. So it helps that The Making of Karateka illuminates all of that for us.
