Who remembers this game?

I was typing up a report before lunch when a memory of this game popped into my head. It took me up until now to remember what it was called

I miss 2D adventure games....

Game rules. BS2 was pretty good as well. Shame about 3 onwards.

But yeah, Shadow of the Templars is still an awesome game and I shall be getting my mother to mail it to me tomorrow thank you for reminding me.

Yep still have my box in the loft with any luck.

My loft is a bit like an adventure game actually.

Broken Sword games were great

Runaway was good too.

Although not exactly the same, Grim Fandango was great too (was in 3D if I recall)

god I remember playing the original broken sword on the playstation, sweet game. Never got round to playing broken sword 2, now you have put the idea in my head lol

excellent series of games bar the later 3d incarnations. Grim Fandango was awesome as well. I really dont fully understand why this genre died out? perhaps with have console gamers to blame for developers not making titles like this anymore?

Played the director cut not so long ago on the wii and it was a great game
