Revolution Software and Charles Cecil have bestrode the UK Development scene for ever or for as long as we can remember and we can remember a lot. Not where we left the house keys or the National Lottery winning ticket, but we remember other things. We remember Beneath A Steal Sky with misty eyed love and remember being intrigued when Broken Sword was introduced
Broken Sword arrived back in the 90's, before Blair, before the Spice Girls and before someone said "I know, lets make a games machine and call it a Gizmondo"
Even then there were plenty of naysayers who were claiming that adventure games were heading the way of the Dodo, yet here we are in a new century and Broken Sword continues to attract new fans and Charles continues to swim against the tide.
To enjoy such success over such a sustained period of time is testiment to the charm of the games. To the style and the narrative and the sort of quirky / Charlesishness of them. There is just something so damned likable about them.
