Budapest Restaurant Car

Research video footage for "The Last Express", July 1993.
Jordan Mechner and Patrick Ladislav visit a restored 1914-era Orient Express restaurant car in Budapest.
At this point, the Last Express team consisted of three people: Jordan, Patrick, and Tomi Pierce.

Jordan, thank you so much for your contribution to games and art. Your creative work is so inspiring and will carry on for generations. Your shadow keynote at Salamanca was also very deep and emotional. Hoping you some day make a trip to Brazil and meet some of your fans down here in Sao Paulo.

Jesus, I was 2 years old at this time and you were already making games. I haven't even had the chance yet to get to know what Prince of Persia or The Last Express was and you were already visiting my home country. Crazy. How come you had to go to Hungary of all places to get reference for an Orient Express restaurant car?

[@JordanMechner]

It was the only one left! Well, one of two... The second was in Compiegne, France. No other 1914 restaurant cars survived the two world wars (that we know of).
