For newcomers as well as those that are familiar with this series I would really reccomend you take a look at this brilliant article about The Last express here:

A really well read, enjoy!

I also really love the fact that they mentioned that you are able to get the game right here At Good old games.com. It's awesome that gog.com is getting the recognition it deserves :)
