I used to be a massive fan of the classy point 'n click adventures this studio produced - Lure of the Temptress, and Beneath a Steel Sky (2000AD connection - Dave Gibson illustrated the manual and comic that came with the game, IIRC) - but I've no idea what happened to them after these games were released.
Are they still active, or did they disappear at the end of the '90s?
They're still alive and well, having just put out the new Broken Sword game and a few months a go released Beneath a Steel Sky as freeware.

Wow - I had no idea they were behind the Broken Sword games. Shows how much attention I pay, I suppose :-)
Thanks for the info, though. It's good to know they're still going strong - now to petition them for a BaSS sequel... ;-)
Woah - Beneath A Steel Sky. Now that was a class game. I'll be downloading that one, then...
That's good. Its been a really shittyyear for games developers, especially in the uk.
