'''''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 [http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/last_express_the GOG.com], iOS and Android devices.
