 Couldn't run it March 21, 2010

My guess is that because this is a game designed for older machines, the current drivers on my computer, windows 7, don't support the game architecture. Nothing I could do to get this game to run.
 Point and Click Paradise! July 29, 2009

I recently got into the Broken Sword series when i purchased the new Nintendo DS version. I had forgotten how much fun the adventure game genre was! These two classics are a treat to play. The hand-drawn backgrounds and witty dialogue put the point and click transe on me again. These first 2 games in the series follow the familiar adventure game format of exploring, chatting with the locals, picking up every item in sight and wondering what you are going to use it for to advance to the next area. I find these old titles relaxing, you can just chill back in your chair with one hand on the mouse and enjoy an epic yet humorous story. The graphics won't blow you away but they have that nostalgic charm to them. The developers really did a good job of creating character depth for George and Nico (The 2 main characters). You really begin to care about them and their journey. This package is a steal considering you get 2 classic heavy weights from the 90's. Everyone needs to try Broken Sword at least once, Revolution put a lot of love into these titles, install these 2 bad boys and feel the love!
 Older game with poor graphics by todays standards December 11, 2008

A bit cludgy running on Vista. Had to install a useless DDL, just to get the game to install. But I did not have to then run it in a compatibility mode. It did go ahead and use the vista tools. The interface is a bit old, not real user friendly, and the graphics are poor by todays standards, but it does have a pretty good story line. It is a serial game where everything has to be done in a serial sequence.

I played this game when it first came out nearly a decade ago and loved it. I was really pleased to find it was available for Win XP. The graphics are the same and the experience was just as pleasant as it was ten years ago. Great adventure game that makes you think. It is a little slow, but the artwork, sound and dialogue more than make up for it. I love it and will keep it for perhaps another decade.
Love these games September 8, 2008

I used to play these games when I was younger and I wanted to share them with my girlfriend. I remembered them being fun but had forgotten just how fun they really are. If you like interactive movies and solving mysteries the Broken sword series are the games for you. The story lines are strong and the puzzles are challenging but not so impossible that you have to buy a guide to figure out how to get through the game, (i hate that)
