Die Fortsetzung des Adventure-Hits "Baphomets Fluch"
George Stobbart hat mit seinen Urlauben in Paris einfach kein Glück. Kaum trifft er in der Metropole ein, um seine Freundin Nico wieder zu treffen, wird er niedergeschlagen und findet sich an einem Stuhl gefesselt wieder. Leider ist er allein, so daß er niemanden hat, mit dem er wetten könnte, ob ihn die giftige Spinne oder die Flammen, die auf ihn zukommen, zuerst erreichen.
Natürlich versucht George sich zu befreien, aber hätte er gewußt was auf ihn zukommt, wäre er wohl lieber sitzen geblieben.
Von den Schergen eines skupellosen Drogenbarons um den halben Erdball gejagt zu werden, gehört noch zu den entspannenderen Übungen, denn irgendwo in einer längst vergessenen Pyramide in Mexico wartet eine unendlich alte und böse Macht darauf, einmal mehr die Menschheit zu geißeln.

Lieber George Stobbart,

hier noch einmal kurz gefaßt Ihr Reiseangebot.
Sie treffen mit Ihrer entzückenden Begleiterin Nico eine Verbrecherorganisation, einen zwielichtigen Professor, lösen im besten Fall jahrhundertealte Geheimnisse, geraten in den Bann mystischer Kräfte der Maya und müssen so ganz nebenbei dem Streben nach grenzenloser Macht widerstehen. All das auf einer mörderischen Jagd um die Welt, die bis heute noch niemand überlebt hat.
Viel Spaß!

PS: Ihre Reiserücktrittsversicherung wurde leider abgelehnt.



ES IST NOCH NICHT VORBEI!

Broken Sword – The Smoking Mirror

Released in 1997, one year after BS1, Broken Sword – The Smoking Mirror continues the Broken Sword trilogy with George and Nico pursuing what starts out as a cut and dried drug dealing mystery but which ultimately leads them to a Mayan cult in the jungles of South America. All the themes that made Broken Sword 1 a success were developed further for this follow up and despite the tight one year deadline – half the time taken to produce BS1 – BS2 utilised an all new engine and scripting system.

Broken Sword 2 was produced for PC and PSOne.

The Mayans

The Mayans had an incredible civilisation which flourished for centuries until, almost over night, it mysteriously ceased. Great cities were abandoned as the Indians retreated to the jungle. No one has been able to explain what went so catastrophically and so suddenly wrong. At that time, all peoples of Central America practised human sacrifice - tearing out the beating hearts of victims as an offering to the great sun god - believing that the mortal blood of man was needed to feed the immortal gods - and that without sacrifices the sun would not rise each morning.

Mayan legends tell of Tezcatlipoca, the evil god of sacrifice and destruction, who was entombed inside a "Smoking Mirror". To ensure he never escaped, three shields were crafted which, when brought together, could project Tezcatlipoca's evil back on himself and destroy him. The legends also tell of how Spanish Conquistadors stole the shields when they first "discovered" the New World. The Mayan survivors knew that one day, Tezcatlipoca would rise again and that without the shields nothing could stop him from invoking a new age of Armageddon.

As a journalist, Nico has been investigating a cocaine smuggling ring. She suspected a high class Mayan art supplier of using his gallery as a front for drug running. Nico followed a lead and came across a package which she assumed to contain cocaine. But when she got the package from the safe drop she found, to her disappointment, that it contained a Mayan artefact - a perfectly smooth curved onyx stone in the shape of a shield, on which appeared unfamiliar symbols.

She decided to contact Professor Oubier, a world expert on the Mayan civilisation, to try and find out more about any connection.Oubier sounded delighted to hear about the artefact - and invited Nico to visit as soon as possible - asking her to bring the shield. Being slightly suspicious and apprehensive, Nico asked George to accompany her.George has not seen Nico for many months. Having defeated the neo-Templar conspiracy at the end of Broken Sword I, he had had to return to America to tend his father who was seriously ill. His father subsequently died after which George returned to Paris. On his return, he found Nico uncommunicative and unfriendly. He later found, to his horror, that she had struck up a relationship with her ex-lover Andre Lobineau.

When George and Nico arrive at Oubier's house, they are met by Pablo. Although suspicious, they enter the house, and walk up the stairs to Oubier's study. Here George is knocked unconscious and tied to a chair. Nico is shot with a poison dart and collapses. She is then carried away from the house by Pablo who knocks a lamp onto the floor. George regains consciousness to find himself bound, the room alight, and being approached by a tarantula....
