![]() ![]() ![]() Murder on the Orient Express is like the height of classic Christie’s Poirot novels, easily one of the more famous and most-adapted ones. Which leads to the question: how will I feel when a classic story is modernized in video game form? Because that’s what is happening with Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express. ![]() It’s not that difficult of a concept to understand “this was set in a different time when things were different.” So the modern push towards “fixing” these titles for contemporary readers drives me bonkers. I recently reread a bunch of Lois Duncan books but they were newer versions, and despite being set in like the 70s every had cell phones (just forgot them at home a lot, or the batteries drained a lot). I know exactly where I stand on modernizing books from the past: I despise it with every fibre of my being. ![]()
