Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is a point-and-click adventure game developed by British studio Revolution Software and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, following George Stobbart and Nico Collard as they investigate a Templar conspiracy across Europe. This is the UK original release, carrying serial SCES-00346, presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with no hologram on the case and containing a single English-language disc. Released on 15 December 1996, this is the launch edition for UK audiences. Notably, the case carries a round yellow sticker reading ‘9/10 OFFICIAL PLAYSTATION MAGAZINE’, reflecting the game’s strong critical reception at the time. No loose paperwork is included. As one of five distinct national PAL editions, this UK pressing is the primary version for British collectors.
