The Last Express stopping at iDevices on Thursday

How splendid it is to have The Last Express easily available on PC again since last year's re-release, after many years at the mercy of eBay sellers and naughty pirates. Soon you'll be able to slip Jordan Mechner's remarkable rotoscoped adventure game in your pocket and keep it safe for ever and ever, as the iOS version is launching later this week.

It'll hit iThings on Thursday, September 27, porter DotEmu announced yesterday. If you missed The Last Express on PC, snap it up from DotEmu or GOG for $5.99.

Observe, a new trailer showing the lovely looks and stonking setting:

        It is a time puzzle game. You need to be at the right place at the right time with most of the clues being give via audio. You will die or lose a lot but eventually you get past several check points and it starts making more sense. Oh, the one major negative: the developer assumes the player is a train buff and if you aren't familiar with terms used on trains of that era, you may miss a few important clues along the way.

      This might make an excellent iOS game.
