You probably already knew that
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars is
available on GOG.com for $5.99. Customers that purchased the game were "only" treated with a remastered version; the original was not available - until this week! GOG has added even more value to this classic game by
including the untouched version that was released in 1996 (without raising the price). Some might say this is the better version, but now we all can decide for ourselves.
Old dog, new owners. Nice!
