The Last Express has been re-released.

Post by weemadando »

The Last Express at DotEmu.

One of the greatest games of all time has just been re-released (for the first time since it's initial run). An adventure game (of sorts) set in the hours before World War One begins, you are on the Orient Express leaving Paris and the whole game is an amazing series of intrigues and well plotted drama.

I never finished it (had to return my friends copy to him), but it has aged very well - it still looks stunning with it's fantastic animation and characters.

For those of you who don't know, The Last Express was made by Jordan Mechner, creator of Prince of Persia.

I still have my hard copy, in all 4 CD's :).

Fantastic game. (Although one or two of the time based puzzles are extremely annoying, such as needing to hide the Firebird egg)

What sort of size is it to download? I imagine it's not going to be huge or anything, but I'd like to know beforehand. The website doesn't seem to say.

4 CDs worth so probably 2gb -ish.

Possibly less if it's a good installer.

The answer is that it is worth it.
