The game was conceived in 1994 by Revolution Software's Charles Cecil, Noirin Carmody and Sean Brennan, while talking about Knights Templar mythology. It was the third game built with the Virtual Theatre engine. Cecil wrote and directed the game, while Eoghan Cahill and Neil Breen drew all the backgrounds in pencil, which were later digitally colored in Adobe Photoshop. The game is serious in tone, but also features humor and graphics in the style of classic animated films.
The game was acclaimed by critics, who lauded its story, puzzles, voice acting, writing, gameplay and music. It achieved commercial success as well, with sales totaling one million copies. After its initial release for Windows and PlayStation, it saw ports to the Game Boy Advance and mobile phones. It was followed by a sequel, Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror, in 1997.[1] A director's cut version was released for the Wii, PC, Mac OS X, Nintendo DS and iOS in 2009 and 2010.
