קטע מעניין מהפוסט, מתוך ראיון עם ג'ורדן מכנר (יוצר קראטקה, הנסיך הפרסי) על Lode Runner ששימש השראה לנסיך הפרסי
Lode Runner is deep in Prince of Persia's DNA
Lode Runner is like the light pencil sketch that you can't see anymore by the time you have a finished ink drawing

Castles of Dr. Creep
The most direct inspiration there was a game by Ed Hobbs called The Castles of Doctor Creep,
which didn't get too big a circulation, probably because it was only available on the Commodore 64.
My college dorm mates and I spent a lot of hours playing that game.
It had these ingenious puzzles of the Rube Goldberg sort,
where you hit one switch and that opens a gate but closes another gate, and so forth.
So the idea for Prince of Persia was to do a game that
combined the ingenuity of Doctor Creep with the smooth animation of Karateka.
So when you ran and jumped you weren't just a little sprite flying through the air,
your character actually felt like it had weight and mass, and when you fell on the spikes it felt like it really hurt
