Jeremy Howard Haha, it's all good!
There's really no right way to pronounce it in English. My way sounds like 'Caretaker,' the other way rhymes with 'Erotica'🥋...
In other languages it's easy!
(and no, that's not the only reason I moved to Europe)

Jordan Mechner TIL I've been pronouncing Karateka wrong for the last 40 years.

Steve Reich's Music Echoes in Jordan Mechner's Graphic Memoir Replay: Memoir of an Uprooted Family

Like Steve Reich’s composition Different Trains, Jordan Mechner’s graphic memoir Replay is a work of introspection that looks to history and tragic…

Jordan Mechner She’s a great fighter, but not a great runner or jumper?

Friday Night Macaulayculkin' Jordan Mechner

Digital Eclipse Jordan Mechner I just can't get enough! Such a pity this game wasn't released back in the day. Ok, maybe thanks to that later we had such masterpieces as Karateka and Prince of Persia. But this 'Asteroids clone' is amazing, such an addictive videogame. If you haven't tried it, you should.

Je découvre au détour d'un Tweet cette BD sur la vie de Jordan Mechner créateur de #PrinceofPersia . Il revient sur la vie de son père et de son grand-père tout en racontant son propre parcours. Une bien belle manière de revenir sur sa carrière.
C'est édité chez Éditions Delcourt

I played the heck out of that black and white Mac version of Prince of Persia! So glad you could tell your story Jordan!

Jordan Mechner How did I not know this existed?! I loved the making of Prince of Persia diary/journal, definitely getting this!

Jordan Mechner My take is that he was in bad shape after all those fights and having to punch a bird to death and therefore was particularly vulnerable to a well-placed kick at that time, whereas Mariko would not have been able to defeat a well-rested Akuma.

Jordan Mechner Ok I have a question:
The princess (Mariko) in Karateka can defeat you in one hit. Why didn't she escape by herself since she's that strong?

Jordan Mechner Thanks for the trauma, nah, thanks a lot for those games

Excellent question! After 40 years, I can think of a couple of possible explanations... but maybe someone out there will do better?

Jordan Mechner 小径残雪 Thanks Jordan. The memories come back. And the video credit goes to the unknown creator.

Jordan Mechner The Prince of Persia game for Apple II which Jordan Mechner designed is an excellent classic among retro games and another classic is Karateka for Apple II whose game he also created.
