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 ⚔️

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!

Attached: 1 image Was watching the 1938 Robin Hood and when a particular bit of sword fight happened, I realized I'd seen it a thousand times before in Prince of Persia! Rad!
