Original Broken Sword now included with Director's Cut on GOG
Retro games retailer GOG.com has slapped an added bonus onto the Director's Cut version of Broken Sword: the original, non-HD-ified version of the game, Circle of Blood. This should come as especially welcome news to GOG customer StingingVelvet, who commented in his review of the game, "unfortunately this is not the classic version that you would expect from Good OLD Games."
It looks like GOG really has wised up!
