I already own the game and I’d buy it again on GOG in an instant, if only to not have to worry about swapping and losing disks. =)

How about, ummmm, releasing the game on GOG, huh? I would buy it in an instant.

[...] me of the other thing which may be of interest to people intrigued by the Last Express. Mechner captured a mass of footage of the game and edited into a single 75minute linear narrative. It’s not playing the game, but I suspect it may be as close as many of us will ever get. [...]

I too bought a copy of this game when it came out.

I loved it dearly. Without fail I always seem to mention this game in discussions regarding computer games. It was a gleaming example of what’s possible with the medium. The game stands toe-to-toe with some of my favorite novels, songs, and films. I always cherish the time I spent with it.

But alas, my copy was lost as well. I passed it on to my grandfather to play and when he passed on I think it just got lost in the shuffle. A shame. I would really like to play it again!

Thanks Jordan, and all those involved in its production, for making such a great game.

This is the best (!!!!) game I have ever played. The first time I played it I was twelve; now, at nearly 20, I still find myself wondering what else there is for me to do on that train. Even at 12, I could appreciate what effort went into the making of it. I’m really excited that I found my copy again just in time for summer break. Thank you for posting these videos and bringing on the nostalgia!

I believe they used a rotoscoping technique, after photographing every shot in the game. Pretty cool stuff.

“During a 22-day long live-action video shoot, every action by every character in the game was photographed by actors wearing distinctive makeup and costumes against a bluescreen on 16mm film and digitized. From this, a limited number of frames were selected and put through a patented process developed in house, where the frames first had all colour removed. Then, a powerful computer program created black-and-white line drawings of the frames, which were then coloured in by hand. The finished product has 40,000 frames in total.”

Oh god, the animation reminds me of Tom Goes to the Mayor.
Did they use Photoshop to create the cel-shaded effect?

This is was a great game, something about the Mystique of the Orient Express is intangible. I hope you are some day able to make a live action-motion picture based on this game, just as you are doing with Prince of Persia.
