* AcclaimedFlop: Received high praise for its writing, character development, and intricate-yet-flexible storyline, but only sold 100,000 copies, 1 million short of breaking even. This was mostly due to [[Creator/BroderbundSoftware Brøderbund]] [[InvisibleAdvertising not marketing the game AT ALL]], part of which was probably because Brøderbund's entire marketing staff had [[EpicFail quit a month before the game's release]].

* DevelopmentHell: A film version directed by Creator/PaulVerhoeven was announced some time ago but seems to have stalled.
* DoingItForTheArt - The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DygVxOWd_9o "making of" video]] shows how painstaking they were about accuracy, the quality of the live art nouveau animation, the intricate-yet-flexible storyline, and the depth of characterization right down to individual reactions to meeting the protagonist in the corridor.
* StillbornFranchise: ''The Last Express'' hints at an awesome sequel in which both the significance of Cath's ring and the reason behind his all-consuming drive to get to Jerusalem will be revealed. The suggestion that the 13th tribe of Israel may be involved somehow makes it all the more tantalizing. These would all be spoiler tagged but there will never be a sequel, so we will ''never'' know what happened.
