Doh!

Fans of Point-and-click games would do well to be aware that Broken Sword 2.5 is out! And it's totally free!

I love point-and-click games (and their precursor, the click-and-type games?) Never mind that I probably haven't solved one yet without the help of a walkthrough.

In fact, I can't wait to have kids, have them grow up a bit and so I can install a PC-based media center with a 42-inch LCD, (or will OLED be the display of choice in the far future?) WiiMotes and ScummVM installed, and introduce them to Those Games Their Father Played Back In Those Days, encouraging them to play them as they will be the only games installed on the PC, and declaring lazy Saturday afternoons as Family Point-and-Click Time.

Oh they will hate me.

When I heard Broken Sword 2.5 even existed, my first thought was - is it ScummVM compatible? Does it use the same engine even?

My second thought was - if it did, maybe I could play it on my...

PSP...

Doh!

(The happy music playing in my head slowed to a stop like an audio tape stuck in the mechanism. Audio tapes? How archaic...)
