Random commentary

[edit]

Statements I generally found to be WP:WEASEL or otherwise needs citing badly (original text in italics):

  • one of the most expensive and innovative ever made This has been removed. Green451 16:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • This technique is put to great use in the game This has been removed. Green451 03:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • the game has great replay value - replaced with a more neutral statement
  • Following a bidding war between all the major game publishers - needs cite
  • All review quotes need cites, for their original form ("back of box" doesn't count). Bonus points if you can get the names of reviewers, e.g. "Joe Schmoe of MSNBC called it..."
  • Brøderbund's marketing department quit just weeks before the game was released, - needs cite, as does everything else in that paragraph.
  • it is unlikely that The Last Express would have made a profit, and Brøderbund and Softbank most likely increased their losses. - Speculation is the worst kind of original research. This has been removed from the article. Green451 00:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hence, the start-class. Nifboy 05:03, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Character section

[edit]

It's not a copyright vio. The guy on the forum took it from the game manual. 58.7.248.181 06:46, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So it's actually copyrighted to the makers of the Last Express. :)--Wormsie 16:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Violin/Piano duet

[edit]

What is the peice they play? Its wonderful and I would love to get it, thanks. :) ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 18:19, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's Sonata for Violin and Piano in A Major by Cesar Franck. It's a great sonata. Green451 (talk) 15:36, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Loose Ends

[edit]

At the end of the game, if you get the 'bad ending' where you give him the egg, he thanks you and offers you a gift. He tells you that when you reach your destination, you should ask them about the 'twelfth tribe' (unless I'm mishearing him). This doesn't lead anywhere because the train explodes before you get to your destination. However, it seems to be a loose end that suggests something.

The only thing I could find about a 'twelfth tribe' is a theory from a book that says that European Jews are not descended from the people of Jerusalem. What that has to do with the game world, I have no idea. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting something, but did anyone else come across this? Needs more information. 168.158.220.3 (talk) 22:33, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow - what a discovery!

[edit]

I am just a few hours away (unless I am mistaken, my dear watson) from OPENING THE DATA FILES OF THE LAST EXPRESS! I have discovered that it is in this format: High Performance File System!!! I would open it now but I'm in school right at the moment! Wow! Tx2Fullwood (talk) 16:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! What a Discovery!

[edit]

I have (after about an hour of research) discovered that the Last Express Data files are in the High Performance File System file format! I would open it now but I'm at school at the moment. Wow! Tx2Fullwood (talk) 16:31, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Darn it! I can't open the HPFS file system in Windows XP!Tx2Fullwood (talk) 15:52, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, i've found somethin' better - several programs to extract the files! So far, it only takes 10 minutes to load all of the files. However, this means we've got plenty of screenshots! Any takers?Tx2Fullwood (talk) 17:03, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Movie adaptation

[edit]

I think that the information about a possible movie adaptation needs some reference. Bosco_adventure (talk) 11:22, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
