Prince of Persia is a video game franchise
created by Jordan Mechner, originally developed for and released on the
Apple II Computer in 1989. The original game and its first sequel were
2D platform games, but the series made the switch to three-dimensional
following the release of Prince of Persia 3D in 1999.
Even though Mechner has been involved
with the series in varying capacities throughout its history, the games
themselves have been developed and published by several different
companies. The first two games in the series, Prince of Persia and Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, were developed by Brøderbund. Prince of Persia 3D was developed by Red Orb Entertainment and published by The Learning
Company on PC, and developed by Avalanche Software and published by
Mattel Interactive on Sega Dreamcast. French-based video game company
Ubisoft began developing and publishing the series in 2003 with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and so far have been the most prolific of any company in bringing out new games in the series.
A film based on the series, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, was written by Mechner and released theatrically by Walt Disney Pictures in May 2010.
