Eighteen years later he lives in Los Angeles, with his ridiculously talented wife and two extraordinary children, Leo and Adrien. He works for Dreamworks Animation, does comics whenever he has a moment, but is still not a millionaire...

Over 14 million Prince of Persia games have been sold around the world. He is the author of Solomon's Thieves and the creator of the Prince of Persia graphic novel, written by A.B. Sina, and he wrote the script for the Disney movie adaptation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Mechner sold his first game, Karateka, while he was still an undergraduate at Yale, and then moved directly on to creating Prince of Persia. These were among the first games to combine arcade action with realistic animation and cinematic storytelling, and both titles became #1 bestsellers and are now considered all-time classics. In 2003, Mechner wrote and directed the documentary Chavez Ravine: A Los Angeles Story, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award. He lives in Southern California. |
