Hi,
Just wanted to comment that it was a great interview with Charles Cecil glad it was a 2 parts as there was so much insight from a veteran of the games industry.
Him talking about Broken Sword especially 1 and 2 brought back many happy memories for me. I remember getting the PC demo of Broken Sword 1 from a magazine and showed it to my mom, we were both hooked so went out and brought the full retail game (I still have it to this day) and spent many happy days and nights playing the game huddled around the PC.
Sadly my mother died a number of years ago now but every time I hear about the broken sword series it brings back warm memories for me so thank you to Charles and Revolution for making and producing these games.
I will be purchasing a version of Broken Sword 5 now for the Switch so I can hopefully make some great memories with my own children.
