Broken Sword for iPad on the Market now

[skipper]

I bought Broken Sword as soon as I saw the iPad version was out. However, due to the fact that the fastest Internet I have is tethering my iPhone on Edge it will be tomorrow at least before I can actually try it out! And that is if I leave it downloading while I sleep! Someday I will enter the modern ages......I hope!

Yes, it is a huge (relatively speaking) download... largest iPhone one I have got so far. But, you will see the reason...

And if you enjoy these kind of games, you will love this. My wife and I play it together... fun to work on the puzzles and such together. The kind of game where just getting to the next room can be a major accomplishment...

And if you get really stuck there are walkthroughs at gamfaqs.com that help. We are not all that far into it, but so far we have figured out all the puzzles ourselves... and yes, we are proud

So is it the type of game where you add items together (like rope+candlestick) and then use that item to complete the puzzle, like King's Quest?

And yeah, I would DEFINITELY be proud as well. A lot of those games are so damn hard.

Yes thats is it. Also you go around talking to people solve puzzles its just an awsome game and they dont make adventure games as good as this any more

Sadly, they don't (very often).

Funny thing is, point and click adventure games were really made for a touch interface...but they were a fad of the 90's long before we had useable touch.

Yeah, she's been following me around all day posting the same dumb shit. Little does she know, she's a friggin idiot and already made my ignore list so I don't really see her spam anymore.

I pm'd a couple of mods, let's see what happens.

Back on topic of the game...

I purchased it today, it seems quite interesting, reminds me of a cheesy game I played years ago, Roger something maybe? It was almost like a spoof, where this is serious, but the same kind of thing where you go around touching and collecting things.

The interface seems to work pretty good, made for touch as someone said I think.

You are thinking of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"..... yes, I am pretty geeky.....

Bremen, it does seem a bit cheesy. I will keep trying to play though

I had to search and Google provided the answer as usual, using these key words "old pc adventure game roger" it came up as the first result:
Space Quest, Roger Wilco was the star of the game. That will be the ultimate geek test for you Bremen if you remember that.

All the "Quest" games were pretty awesome by Sierra. King's Quest was my favorite though.

After you drag the key to the blue circle by the door, drag upward, you will see the gears symbol appear and the key will highlight gold, release at that point and the door will open "Now we're getting somewhere"
