In 1999, a new Prince of Persia title, Prince of Persia 3D, was developed and released under Broderbund's Red Orb label. Broderbund was subsequently purchased by The Learning Company, which was later acquired by US game company Mattel Interactive. The game, like its predecessor, received critical acclaim and high sales. The sequel, Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, was developed internally at Broderbund with Mechner's supervision. Despite the success of the game, Mechner enrolled in New York University's film department, producing an award-winning short film during his time there, before returning to design and direct a sequel to the original game. The original Prince of Persia, with its more than 20 platform ports, is one of the most ported games in video game history. 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. The first game in the series, simply titled Prince of Persia, was created by Jordan Mechner after the success of Karateka. Main article: List of Prince of Persia media Release timeline 1989
