You can buy the trilogy, works with XP and Vista.... all sorted with ScummVM, DVD compatible only, but no disc switching etc. Plus you get Beneath A Steel Sky.. not that I had the patience for it! It's around £15 and for any BS fan it's a must have.

[VideoGameTakeOut]

Totally agree. The first two are my favorites because I like the hand drawn look but the third is not bad and Beneath a Steel Sky is pretty good too.

If you can get your hands on it definitely give it a shot.

The music was so good...the 2D graphics were outstanding , it was magical, what in the hell happened with it, the 3rd and 4th part were ok but...there was no more magic...when i see the PC introduction now...they make me feel young and happy again, one of the best , beautiful designed games i have ever played...broken sword 1&2.

It's a shame that the DS version don't have the voice overs.

that game has AMAZING music... I forgot I was even listening to the review... and thought I had my radio on :)

When I first heard it was gonna be on GBA, I was actually impressed that such an effort was being made, considering that the PC version originally came on two CD's.

When I got it I'm glad to say that it indeed lived up to my expectations =)

I love this game!!!

Totally with you all the way. The first few lines give me goosepimples hehe. Really is a shame with the 3rd and 4th games. I guess Revolution felt they had to "get with the times". But the real magic in the game lied in the animation and the depth of the voice and dialogue. I'll probably play through the first 2 once every 5 years. on PC that is.

If you're playing it on a laptop computer, it is.

This game came out on the DS recently, agen with all the voice over removed. I was wondering if you'd gotten a chance to check it out.
