Tiger Media released later a similar game: Murder Makes Strange Deadfellows.[citation needed]

Plot

The player controls detective Ned Peters, who has to figure out the identity of the murderer by wandering around the rooms, looking for clues and overhearing conversations between the other guests aboard the flying boat Condor on a cruise over the Atlantic.

Reception

[edit]

Computer Gaming World in 1993 wrote that "though the story was manufactured in the Orient Express Murder Mystery machine, this interactive comic book is novel enough to warrant a serious look ... A multimedia diversion for the whole family".[1]

According to the game's developer, it had disappointing sales, in part because CD-ROM drives were not yet widespread at that time.[2]
