3D version of karateka another link added - thanks iranboy2955
Mediafire links for the last express added!
Here are the download links to karateka, jordan mechner's first game, and his only other non-prince of persia game besides karateka, the last express. I have put premium links for rapidshare for the last express so you can download them without waiting in between files:
The Last Express:
Official Site: http://popuw.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1142
Ian Mark fan page with files: http://members.lycos.co.uk/ianandmark/lastexpress/
You can download the demo and trailers and sounds and music and more on official site. Fan site currently has links to the old site.
Broderbund Software and Smoking Car Productions present a CD-ROM game by Jordan Mechner.
The Last Express is a CD-ROM based adventure game, set in real time, filled with mystery, danger, romance and international intrigue. It takes place on a train crossing Europe from Paris to Constantinople in July 1914 over a period of three days and nights, in a world poised on the brink of war.
This demo includes a Win95 and DOS executable.
Download The Last Express Playable Demo (41MB)
In addition, there are two Win95 AVI movies, a two and a half minute trailer for the game and a ten minute "making-of" video.
Download The Last Express Sneak Preview (13MB)
Download The Last Express Behind the Scenes (38MB)
Finally, after finishing the game, Express fans can download a selection of sound clips in Win95 WAV format.
Download Sound Clips from The Last Express (1.5MB)
Taking place on the Orient Express immediately before the outbreak of World War I, The Last Express is a tale of international intrigue, a love story, and a murder mystery all at once. While this may sound trite, the intelligent writing overcomes the cliches through its complex characters, unpredictable plot twists, and some of the most convincing voice acting ever heard in a game. You assume the role of Robert Cath, a fugitive American with a mysterious background who has come onboard the Express to visit an old friend. You arrive and find your friend has been murdered, but trying to discover the mystery behind his death will not be as simple as it seems. Despite this tired premise, The Last Express never feels like a "Host Your Own Murder Mystery" party on a CD. The plot plays out like a cross between The Maltese Falcon and the French classic Pepe Le Moko, and it remains intriguing all the way to the spectacular ending.

Karateka - both links download same game:
http://www.abandonia.com/games/804/download/Karateka.htm
http://abandonware.universal.av7.net/Jeux/Karateka.1986.html
If your version doesn't have the PRNGAL and TITLE.BCG files, you have to download the correct version from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?7jkzz2nkqwz
Technical note:
You might need to press space as soon as you see the "Brøderbund Software, Inc." credits. If you don't you'll see a message asking you to place the disk in your drive and the game will hang.

The PC Prince and the guy in Karateka look very similar.

I don't see it as a sequel, because both games have the same premise, to save the princess. One is platforming and one is combat.

You're not bothering at all.
Also, those were original links i got this from, I am currently uploading the game to ONE link only for very easy download. It is taking a long time however. The premium links have passed, making them inactive. But it will be available for download in mere hours. I will put up the demo now in case anyone wants to try it.

Cool, although I already have a karateka 2 fake video, it might be the same. Thanks for the links. I like the online one i posted because it has more controls and moves and colors, but the original one is pretty good too. Thanks for the links. I'm trying to play the last express, anyone try it yet?
