The Last Express is now on iOS

[Deleted member 7219]

The Codex has given the game a lot of love before, and you can still buy it over at GOG.com but now dotEMU have released a version for iOS. I bought it because I loved the game so much and it will be interesting to play on long, dull train journeys. Also, Jordan Mechner did an interview for The Guardian about it here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technolog...t-express-jordan-mechner-interview?CMP=twt_fd

I really can't into playing complex games in tiny, portable screens, especially when outside... even my DS I only play at home.

Still, The Last Expreess is a great classic, good fun for you on your travels.

Purists and die-hards of the original game may want to resist the temptation, as much of the fun of Last Express is in exploring and discovering alternative paths that don't necessarily lead you closer to winning. But with five to 20 hours of game play, we recognise that many iOS gamers would prefer a more streamlined experience, so we've made the hints available.

I wish for a 1984 world where the word "streamlined" gets renamed "dumbdumbplusplus".
