Gaming Respawn revisits Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars in this weeks Retro Respawn.
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.
From unforgettable characters, challenging puzzles, and even that blasted goat: here's why Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is still so important.
Yea the original Broken Sword might be my favorite adventure game of all time. It is close though.

We are at it again, with five more music tracks from video games that will stick in your head the way they did Hamza's. We have a pretty good selection here, courtesy of the home computer - no console entries this time.
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (MS-DOS) - Finding Nicole
Romantic scores are always a pleasure to listen to: Jerry Goldsmith's love theme from Chinatown, the saxophone-filled main menu music from The Blackwell Epiphany and Finding Nicole from Broken Sword are great examples. Nicole Collard is one of the major characters from the series and the primary romantic interest of the series' protagonist, George Stobbart. After listening to this sensual score, you too will fall in love with her!
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?
