“Paris in the Fall. The last months of the year and the end of the millenium.” This is the opening line to the debut Broken Sword title, The Shadow of the Templars, and the beginning of a long love affair for point and click fans with an adventurous American by the name of George Stobbart.
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars celebrated its 25th anniversary in October 2021. To mark such a momentous occasion, Alternative Magazine Online is proud to present an exclusive look back at the game’s development with British video game designer Charles Cecil, co-founder and Managing Director of Revolution Software!
Thanks for commenting, Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is one of my favourite adventure games of all time (as I'm sure you can tell). It's crazy that Virgin didn't want to publish it on PlayStation!
Yes, considering their reason not to and what they did end up publishing/published in the past is very odd.

Fantastic game. Still listen to the OST to this day. That f’n goat in Ireland slayed me though. Got super stuck on that part.
George Stobbart: Woah! Don't shoot! I'm innocent! I'm an American!
Moue: Can't make up your mind, huh?
