[I_Wanna_Be_A_Pirate]

I know this isnt abandonware. but i have a query. I have never played anyother broken sword games apart from the 3rd one that just came out earlier this year, and i was wondering how does it compare to the other 2 in the series?, and also I belive that this " new adventure" is not really true adventure but a genre of its own.

[Stroggy]

oh don't remind me
broken sword... the very first adventure game I played (and one of the first games I played on my own computer)
I played the first one, 'shadows of the templars'.
I LOVED it.
I still have the CD's but one of the CD's is broken
what I wouldn't do to play it.

broken Sword 3 is based for the most part on broken Sword 1 (the templars and such)
broken sword 1 is truelly excellent.
yous tart of in paris in a cafe
a man in a clownsuit walks in and suddenly runs out... after which the cafe explodes.
you survive and get draged into an adventure leading you across the entire globe (Spain, middle east, ireland)
great, funny, game!

From what I heard the second game was the worst one.
I personally think the third one is almost as good as the first one...
except for the strange controlls and those annoying box-puzzles... and that sneaking part... and the ending was a bit of let down.

The first one had a fun ending... first inside and on the roof of a speeding train. And after that in an ancient temple.

Plus it contained Mt. Fouçon (as the first 2 games did)
the guy there (with the drill) is someone you meet at the very start of the first game where he is digging with a shovel nearby the café.

Bruno is a person you meet a bit later on in the game in a hotel (hotel Ubu I think it was).
I don't remember much about him from the first game but according to the third game he was a member of the Templars (the badguys in the first game).
I think at one point in ireland the girl sais she knows madame Piermont or something.
Now I'm not sure about this one, either its the rich woman you meet in Spain in the first game... or its a rich lady you meet in Hotel Ubu in Paris (she helps you get into a room)

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Thank you Stroggy!
I have been wondering about that game for ages now, trying to figure out what the game was called!

I played the demo once, before the game was released. I've been trying to find it ever since, but without the name you don't get far. (You try to search the net for "Clown blows up cafe in france" and see what happens). :wink:

This time I have the name!

[Stroggy]

the US version was called broken Sword: circle of blood , just for information

[Tom Henrik]

Thanks, yet again.

[Stroggy]

let me know if you find anything
I couldn't replace the CD because it was already sort of an old game when I bought it.
It still puzzles me, but it was in one of those multi-game packages containing 'Return to zork', 'master of orion 1', 'master of orion 2' and 'Sim City 2000' (network edition) oh and it had 'jagged Alliance' in it aswell (and Broken Sword 1 aswell ofocarse)

A computer games magazine here in Greece gave Broken Sword 1 and 2 some time ago i believe... but i don't think that this helps :P

[Stroggy]

I envy you so much
I was kinda hoping they would release a special broken Sword edition containing all 3 of the game
but sadly it was not to be

why did that CD have to brake? couldn't it have been some other CD?
I have been able to isntall it and play it again... but it doesn't work at all
there is no music, and the game simply clogs up after a few minutes of playing... so close yet so far.
the worst part is most of the game is on cd 2
and cd 2 is fine
its only the first part that uses cd 1... which is broken

hah
My Broken Sword CD is Broken... how ironic

[Tom Henrik]

I have found the demo.

Still looking for the full game.

I'll tell you more later.

[Tom Henrik]

It seems to me that it is almost impossible to find the full Broken Sword 1 game for my pc.



Fortunately, the same can not be said about the full game for my GameBoy Advance emulator!

If you guys want to play this game again, here is the link for an emulator (if you do not have one already).

And here are the links for the game itself...

The German version:

(P.s. The game is number 10 on the top 10 list to the left...)

Have fun!
