A few months back I posted on Mechner's forum if he would be up letting GoG.com porting his works on newer game systems.
If you don't know Jordan Mechner, he was one of the very first Indie gamers on history. He released several PC titles, his most successful release still stays Prince of Persia, a really hard game where someone experienced realistic human movements for the first time on a game.
He is also the screenwriter of the GotY "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" aswell as the same named movie(well, he wrote the original script).
Several titles are credited to him:
Prince of Persia Classic (2007), Ubisoft Entertainment SA
Between Heaven and Hell (2006), MadGames
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003), Ubisoft Entertainment SA
Prince of Persia 3D (1999), Mindscape International Ltd.
The Last Express (1997), Br�derbund Software, Inc.
Prince of Persia CD Collection (1995), Br�derbund Software, Inc.
4D Prince of Persia (1994),
Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow & The Flame (1993), Br�derbund Software, Inc.
D/Generation (1991), Mindscape, Inc.
Prince of Persia (1989), Br�derbund Software, Inc.
Karateka (1984), Br�derbund Software, Inc.
He is still getting worshipped as a god by many fans of the later PoP titles.
Anyway, finally came an answer from him:
