Discworld is a computer game set in Terry Pratchett's fantasy realm of Discworld. Discworld is an adventure game featuring the wizard Rincewind (voiced by Eric Idle) as the player's avatar. There were two further Discworld games: Discworld 2 (subtitled Missing Presumed... in Europe and Mortality Bytes in America), a direct sequal to the original, and Discworld Noir which is a stand alone story with an original character.
