Just Playing through 1 again as it was the first game for the pc i ever owned.
What a great game, i love all the little commends George makes like climbing under the umbrella at the start. So far im at the hotel but am a bit stuck at the mo but im shore i will get through it.
All in all its a great fun game

Yeah I've got Broken Sword 1 and 2 in my collection, classics for sure.

Scarecrow · 17 Jul 2007 at 12:36

whats your favorite one? I will say once i have played all 4

turbo · 17 Jul 2007 at 13:03

broken sword 1 and 2 remain some of my all time favourite games ever. The graphics, dialogue, music, scripting, etc are all spot on!

That goat at the caste in BS 1 had me stuck for ages lol

3 and 4 of the series however are utter crap which was a crying shame

i love this game so much, especially the shadow of the templars awesome game that is :cool:

Charles Cecil I salute you.

The fact they are challenging, funny and just all round good fun. Also very satisfying. I wish more point and click games like this and Monkey Island were released. The newer editions just suck imo.

Ice Rich · 17 Jul 2007 at 18:53

Broken sword 1 + 2 are one of my favorites too, shame about 3+4 though

Same with Monkey Island> The first ones were the best.

Looking for my Broken Sword discs now. Can't wait to complete them again! (I love the way I still forget some of the puzzles even after I've played it countless times! [or maybe I'm just retarded]).

Vita · 17 Jul 2007 at 19:08

The first one was fabulous. Remember I was a little kid, had it on Playstation. Never did get to complete it, got stuck on the Hotel Ubu part. Few months ago, got it on PC and completed it. One of the best story's I've played tbh.

Scarecrow · 18 Jul 2007 at 08:43

now in Island with the funny little kid on he steps.
Is very funny

Streeteh · 18 Jul 2007 at 08:57

Just reinstalled it, wonder if i'll finally complete it this time.

Broken Sword 1 & 2 are great. Was reading up on some easter eggs in 2 that I'd like to revisit.

3&4 aren't as good as 1&2 but they aren't crap either. Just different.

Another good adventure game from the same year would have to be Toonstruck. If you enjoyed Broken Sword and never played Toonstruck then I suggest you get it and fire it up on the latest build of Dosbox. It's quite possibly the greatest unsung hero of adventure games ever.

edit:

I hope everyone who's replaying Broken Sword is doing so using ScummVM.

Scarecrow · 18 Jul 2007 at 10:26

whats ScummVM?

z0mbi3 · 18 Jul 2007 at 10:48

http://www.scummvm.org/

It's an interpreter for Scumm engine games. Basically the best way to play Broken Sword (and others) on modern hardware and software combinations.

You'd be a fool to play them not using ScummVM tbh.

Scarecrow · 18 Jul 2007 at 11:54

but what actualy does it do? improve graphics?
Im on vista and it works perfect

z0mbi3 · 18 Jul 2007 at 12:40

Fair enough. I'm not not going to try to convince you. I just accept ScummVM as the way to play these games these days.

If you want to read up on the features and benefits then have a look at their website.
