Etal, I finally got the English voice feature working thanks to Mick's 
instructions. I started to play it with only English subtitles, but it's 
much more enjoyable with English voices if that's the only language you 
speak - like me.

Yes, thanks to MindFactory for creating Broken sword 2.5. I thought it was 
very well done and the voice of George sounded very much like the original 
BS 1 and 2 - can't remember if BS 3 was the same George. Nico sounded much 
the same. I liked the graphics . they were much the same as BS 1 and 2.

I do the same. Once in a while I play Broken sword 1 and 2 and played BS 3, 
The Sleeping Dragon which I liked but like first two games the best.

Yes, two old acquaintances were Duane and Pearl were in BS 2.5 for a short 
time. They look much the same - plump. The flower seller in front of Nico's 
apt. looked and sounded the same - flowers in that scene were beautiful 
colours.
