The critically-acclaimed 1997 adventure game, to be ported by French developer DotEmu, will be released later this year for iOS devices. Creator Jordan Mechner announced the news on his blog today.
RoboCop director Paul Verhoeven is having a go at the video game movie business, working on an “Indiana Jones-ish” but also “Hitchcockian” video game set in the year 1914. Could it be anything other than Jordan Mechner’s The Last Express?
Jordan Mechner’s The Last Express is regarded as one of the greatest adventure games of all time. Sadly, no one bought it and we never saw a sequel. Now, Mechner has revealed a script he wrote for a prequel, giving us a glimpse of what might have been.
No, it’s not Day of the Tentacle. Sorry. But it’s something almost as neat: a playthrough of Jordan Mechner’s The Last Express, re-cut to look like an animated film.
