Jordan Mechner, best known for the classic games Prince of Persia and Karateka, founded his own games development company in 1993 to create a point-and-click adventure game. This game, The Last Express, was released in 1997. With its fascinating aesthetics, the unusual World War I setting and real-time gameplay, The Last Express stands out as a unique game experience.
This conversation with Jordan was conducted by Christian Schmidt on Tuesday, August 13th 2019 via VoIP call. Gunnar and Christian, the hosts of Stay Forever, had previously covered The Last Express in episode #89 (in German) of the Stay Forever podcast. Stay Forever is Germany’s leading podcast on retro gaming.
