Thanks to industry legend Charles Cecil and Revolution Software, the original version of the acclaimed adventure game is available as an exclusive bonus to gamers who purchase Broken Sword Director’s Cut.

After the release of Broken Sword Director's Cut, we saw lots of you asked for the original game. We've joined forces with Charles Cecil to bring the 1996 version of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars (a.k.a. The Circle of Blood) to GOG's catalogue. Users who purchase the high-resolution Broken Sword Director’s Cut will receive the acclaimed original as a free downloadable bonus. Anyone who has already purchased Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Director’s Cut can download the classic for free from the bonus materials.

Broken Sword Director’s Cut with the original version of the game is exclusively available at GOG.com for the low price of $5.99.
Effin' great news!:)
A special thanks to Charles Cecil for agreeing to do this, and of course to GOG for listening and hearing their customers. You guys are the best!!

And the new year just keeps getting brighter.
Agreed! Thanks to Charles Cecil, Revolution Software, and of course GOG for making this happen! I know how hard it is to pull something like this off and just know that we all appreciate it!

I LOVE GOG!

waiting for 2011 releases.
Great news!!!!!!
Thank you GOG.com and Thank you Charles Cecil.

This is all sorts of awesome.
Awww I love you GOG! <3

If I hadn't bought every game I could possibly want off here, I would have gone and bought one just for this act of kindness!

This is why GOG is my favourite digital distributor.
That's...actually pretty cool! Well done GOG! :D

the_voivod: Downloading now - I liked the DC but the original was definitely better. I actually own the original on disc(s) but it's nice to have it packaged up in a handy installer.

I take it this uses ScummVM too?
i just began the dc when it went on sale, why do you like this better?

log on to check for news game, and...here you go friend, free. it happened another game before and was enriching. great seeing it continue
You can add my thanks to theirs, GOG, I really wanted to play the original Broken Sword; but I've already got a problem. Hitting Save takes me out of the game. Any suggestions on what to do?

WOOHOO!
It's really great to have the original here as well. Thanks once again GOG!
Damn, that is extremely awesome. Thanks GOG!
I have to say: very good! Not it's how it should have been. Thanks.
Nice to hear that I have a choice now. But, can anyone who's played both tell me which one I should start with? I've never played a Broken Sword game, and it seems that there are just as many people who laud the Director's Cut as those who despise it.
You guys know how to keep us happy. Good work!
