The Last Express

Runs poorly and "corrupt" files.

This game uses DOSBox. It comes with an utility to adjust graphic settings, but even at maximum settable size, the game's display is still too small for modern computers. The game's animations runs poorly and inconsistently - it appeared janky at times and smooth at others. YouTube videos confirmed it is normal for this game, but I found it too off-putting to be able to enjoy playing it. It is a shame as the art looks otherwise attractive and I loved Jordan Mechner's original Prince of Persia. I attempted to transfer the game's original DOS files to my Win98SE machine to verify my issue above (as DOSBox can cause some games to run poorly). I found out the CD-ROM files are "corrupt" and can not be changed into mountable ISO files. So the only way I can play this comfortably is to purchase the physical copy instead. So if I get around to trying this game again, a physical copy is what I would pursue. Refunding.
