Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia is a platform game, originally developed by Jordan Mechner and released in 1989 for the Apple II, that represented a great leap forward in the quality of animation seen in video games. Mechner used a process called rotoscoping, in which he studied many hours of film of his younger brother David running and jumping in white clothes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia_(1989_video_game) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gC3WEwSJoHs -
