Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels are ideal for conversion to humorous fantasy adventure games and the good news is that you don't need to have read them, much less be able to quote whole passages verbatim, to play and enjoy this title.
This first release of Discworld has been let down by the fairly substantial bug at the end (in the CD ROM version) and it is to be hoped that the patch will soon be available.
Discworld is a game played in four acts, well three and a bit really, and the excellent introduction suitably sets the scene.
It is based on the magical Discworld universe created by Pratchett from which a multitude of paperback novels have since been published.
Discworld is a third person adventure with animated sprites running over a hand drawn background.
Another game based on Pratchett's book was planned a few years before the release of Discworld, but that project was scrapped due to the lack of financial backing from the publisher and the apparent lack of market demand in graphic adventure games at that time.
