Broken Sword: The Angel of Death

The greatest bastion of true adventure gaming, Broken Sword: The Angel Of Death sees unwitting hero George Stobbart fall in love with the mysterious and beautiful Anna Maria. Her untimely and mysterious disappearance draws him into a desperate race against time to find an ancient artifact capable of immense destruction. The only lead George has is an antiquated manuscript rumoured to have inexplicable links to mfkzt, a mythical substance that has been forgotten for over two thousand years. Unfortunately for George, it looks like the world needs saving one more time.

Known in North America as Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game.

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Only anomalies I have encountered is that the item images on the inventory, icons during talking and the game menu stretches. Cursor icons and the PDA are not streched.

The lighting effects from flames and bulbs are stretched like all 2D elements.
