 The "Assassin's Creed" video game series is the spiritual successor to "Prince of Persia".The first game in the series, titled "The Prince", was created by Jordan Mechner after the success of "Karateka".Drawing from multiple general sources of inspiration, including the "One Thousand and One Nights" stories, and films like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Adventures of Robin Hood", the protagonist's character animation was created using a technique called rotoscoping, with Mechner using his brother as the model for the titular prince.
