  1. @mookie Got it but haven't played it yet. I played through #MakingofKarateka & I only just realized there's a TON of DLC for #Atari50.

    This was the 1st Digital Eclipse release of these #GenX documentaries on classic video games. Lots of Jordan Mechner videos... really cool background on #Karateka.

  2. ✡️ Today's Jew of the Day is Jordan Mechner!

    Jordan Mechner is a video game developer and filmmaker. His best known work is Prince of Persia.

    While attending university, Mechner spent two years writing and developing the game Karateka for the Apple II. Karateka was notable for being both a side scroller and fighting game. It featured fluid character motion and was a success.

    Mechner's nexr game, Prince of Persia built on Karateka by making all the action of his character fluid, giving the game a cinematic quality. It also featured a complex storyline, and puzzles- all of which are staples of the action adventure genre today, but novel at the time.

    Mechner has since worked to revive Prince as a series, and kept the franchise alive through comics and film adaptations.

    He also published his game personal diary development journal of his time developing the game.

  3. Wer denkt, dass man beim Karate Ziegelsteine zerschlägt oder einander zumindest ausschließlich vermöbelt, dem empfehle ich dieses 2-minütige Video. Es zeigt die Karate-Form (Kata), vorgeführt von einem herausragenden Karateka (Luca Valdesi).

    Ist es nicht beeindruckend?
