I can’t help but admire Mechner’s 1990s. After an enormous commercial success as a young man (“Prince of Persia”), he travelled the world collecting experiences, then spent his entire fortune on this single work of impeccable artistic integrity and daring experimentation despite it taking several years and a large team.
It flopped, but he got up and took another shot at “Prince of Persia” and made it all back several times over. Bravo. The world is richer for these long shots that got taken and missed.
