The Last Express – A conversation with Jordan Mechner

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.
