Excellent game and a true classic. A littleironic, though, that this "Enhanced Edition" uses the low res assets from the DOS verion rather than the higher resolution graphics from the Macintosh version.
It is difficult to analyst why this game is so good. There are a few games that try to be like this, such as Titanic: Adventure out of Time, but that falls short in every respect. The Bioware RPGs may get close to it in terms of dialogue, characters and acting, but the need to make the plot "epic" in length makes them all ultimately repetitive and boring. Only indie games such as Passage and Limbo can match its emotional power. Maybe it is just that the surprise success of Myst made the makers of The Last Express overestimate the intelligence and maturity of the audience.
