Nearly 30 years ago, Jordan Mechner – the man who went on to create Prince of Persia – received a fan letter in response to his earlier work, one-on-one fighter Karateka.

Quakecon – No “major announcements” in press conf, says Willits
There will be no “major announcements” in tonight’s Quakecon keynote, id super-boss Tim Willits said at the Texan event today.
The exec said that the press conference will instead focus on updates for already-announced games.
And that means no DOOM 4 for you, Ringo.
Willits dropped the tidbits in an overheard press room chat. The walls have ears, Tim.
We’ll be liveblogging Quakecon’s opening speech from 9.30pm BST tonight. Get more details on that here.

DOOM, Rage and Bethesda games snapped on Quakecon stage
We’ve received the first image of the Quakecon stage as it’s being set up, and it looks as though we may be getting a look at something DOOM-related tonight.
The DOOM logo’s on the banners at the side of the main stage for today’s event, as are Brink, Fallout 3, Rage, Wolfenstein, QuakeLive and Rage.
Looks like Quakecon isn’t so much about Quake any more.
We’ll be liveblogging both the main conference and the John Carmack presser this evening, kicking off at 3.30pm Texas time.
