'''''The Last Express''''' is a 1997 [[Adventure Game]] by Smoking Car Productions, set on the Orient Express at the eve of [[World War I]]. Lovingly written and put together, it was the unfortunate victim of a [[Diabolus Ex Machina]] involving its distributor. [[Broderbund]]'s entire marketing department quit just weeks before the game was to be released, which resulted in absolutely no advertising for it. While critically acclaimed, it was one of the biggest gaming flops in history.
[[Jordan Mechner]] (''[[Prince of Persia]]'') edited all the significant events together into a movie, which can be watched on [https://vimeo.com/3089597 Vimeo], and the game was re-released as a [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027093048/http://www.dotemu.com/en/download-game/608/the-last-express-collectors-edition Digital Download Collector's Edition] in 2011. It is also available on [https://web.archive.org/web/20121110013407/http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/last_express_the GOG.com], iOS and Android devices.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: If you want the game to continue beyond Vienna, the correct way to obtain the briefcase is to {{spoiler|drop into Kronos's cabin from above during the concert, steal the briefcase, then walk out ''holding the briefcase in plain view of everyone''. The audience is probably too focused on Kronos and Miss Wolff to realize what's going on; Kronos and Kahina know exactly what's going on, but are powerless to do anything about it at that time since their concert is part of [[The Masquerade]] and they must keep it going}}.
* [[Scare Chord]]: Used when Robert Cath discovers the body of his friend, Tyler Whitney.
* [[Start to Corpse]]: After encountering the corpse of your late friend in the first minute of boarding the train, you're already wanted by the cops due to you being the first to find the body and a previous [[Noodle Incident|noodle incident]].
* [[Stock Scream]]: The Wilhelm can be heard when {{spoiler|Cath tosses one of the Serbian terrorists off the top of the train}}.
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: One of the Black Hand. Nobody's fooled.
