Just finished “The Making of Prince of Persia” and unfortunately must say that the book/journal is unnecessarily too long. The first part (about Prince 1) was cool and insightful, but the rest was pretty much about nothing really interesting…
Found a very interesting album yesterday:
LUM — Homo Infinitus
I feel inspired reading books about “old times” in the programming world. It’s so refreshing to have a chance to take a look behind the scenes of such legendary creations as UNIX, Doom, Quake or Prince of Persia.
Here are the books I’m talking about:
- “UNIX: A History and a Memoir” by Brian W. Kernighan
- “The Making of Prince of Persia: Journals 1985-1993” by Jordan Mechner
- “Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture” by David Kushner
