Telltale Games

MRN · 05/30/2010, 05:19 am

Words cannot describe the awesomness.

Hayden · 05/30/2010, 05:29 am

Yes, agreed. I also thought that it was quite awesome. A little too awesome to just be featured in one episode. Everything from its interior appearance, its exterior appearance, its passengers to its clever name - it really is cool.

MRN · 05/30/2010, 05:52 am

Yes it is. I hope we get to see more of this in another episode somehow...

Hayden · 05/30/2010, 06:05 am

So do I. It's hard to see how it could be included though. Perhaps Sam & Max could find it in a museum (tattered and broken), steal it (somehow), restore it (somehow) and place it on the train tracks beneath the Straight & Narrow (somehow) and ride the thing to hell and back again!

MRN · 05/30/2010, 06:17 am

^^ Lol, that would be awesome xD

bobtheskutter · 05/30/2010, 09:06 am

It could have been more awesome if we were allowed into the er... engine room or whatever it is called. And then we could have driven it. Or whatever you do with a train...

But that is the only way it could have been more awesome. Within the realms of possibility, it was fantastic.

Kroms · 05/30/2010, 09:21 am

Yeah, loved the train bit. Dunno if I'd be willing to see it again, though. Depends on contet/story.

It would be nice to have the ability to explore the train in its entirety, including the locomotive, the conductor's office, the dining car, and of course the lunatic car.

Driving it is another matter altogether. I don't see it fitting an adventure game at all, unless, it is simplified a lot (like driving the Desoto).

If you like driving trains, you can try ZuSi (German), which simulates a lot of trains simultaneously and the signaling of an entire rail system.
There is also a free simulator with nice graphics, but it can only simulate one train at a time: Loksim (also German)

Eek no. I like driving a la the DeSoto.

Might explain why they took my licence away.

Kidding, kidding.

I love trains, especially old-timey ones. So the Disorient Express' presence in this episode pleased me greatly.

splash1 · 05/30/2010, 05:27 pm

I loved the train, but if we ever see it again it needs to be shaped into a 21st century train.

That....could be quite awesome.

So, the Soul Train then?

Sausy Gibbon · 05/31/2010, 01:00 am

What I love about the Disorient Express is that it has compartments, they should bring back compartments in trains. I always have to sit with some kid or a guy with bad BO, well I guess thats the fun of going on a train.

Hayden · 05/31/2010, 01:02 am

...or somebody listening to techno or death metal on their iPod with the volume turned right up.

Hehe...
Still prefer those to a bunch of **sholes yelling around or listening to the very same music but LOUDLY on their crap phones or...
Oh well.
Trains are so much fun

Since Telltale proved quite some skills in designing trains, it would be awesome to explore the Soul Train to the same extend we did the Disorient Express.
I would also like to see the train behind Sam & Max's office getting involved in an episode sometime.

JedExodus · 05/31/2010, 09:41 am

I loved it so much, I grew up watching and reading Poirot so it was great for Sam & Max to pay homage and do it so well
