The Game (Quoted from Wikipedia):

"Discworld (a.k.a. Discworld: The Trouble With Dragons) is a graphic

adventure game developed by Teeny Weeny Games and Perfect 10 Productions

in mid-1995. It stars Rincewind the Wizard (voiced by Eric Idle) and is

set on Terry Pratchett's Discworld. It was released on both floppy disk

and CD-ROM, with the CD-ROM version featuring full voice acting for all

characters."

The Plot (Quoted from Adventure Classic Gaming):

"A dragon has come to terrorize Ankh-Morpork, the largest city on the

Discworld. It is up to the wizards of Unseen University to get rid of

the dragon. You play Rincewind, a wizard with little, if any, magical

ability. As the University’s worst wizard, you are also its most

expendable, and so you are chosen to deal with the beast. You first task

is to assemble a dragon locator. Once you have found the dragon, you

discover that it has been summoned by an evil brotherhood so that you

must thwart their plans by traveling into the past. Still more, the

dragon has to be dealt with, so your next task is to defeat the dragon

and become a hero. Unfortunately, Rincewind is as good at cowardice as

he is bad at magic, so that you must lend your wits to Rincewind so he

may save the day. "

The Graphics:

The backgrounds in the game were hand-drawn, and scanned in. As a

result, they are beautiful, and enhance the atmosphere. However, the

characters and objects in the game are sprited, and fairly cartooony,

but somehow, they blend together, to create an overall beauty that

immortalises, the game. Even now when I play it, it certainly doesn't

seem it was made in 1995.

The Gameplay:

Despite its easy-to-use interface, and bottomless inventory (aka the

chest), Discworld is HARD! Alot of the puzzles are obscure, and some are

just bizzarre! You really need to keep an eye out for those useful (and

even useless), objects to solve the puzzles in this game.

So basically you will NEED a walkthrough.

The Atmosphere:

The atmosphere is the most appealing aspect of the game. The graphics

contribute to alot of it, but most of it is due to the games' usage of

humour.

Seriously, this game is hilarious! To play this game and keep a straight

face is impossible, as there are so many jokes.

The variety of jokes is suprisingly large for a videogame. Not only is

it clever with its visual humour, such as exaggerating character

stereotypes, (such as the heroine in the square), it's also clever with

its slapstick, (i.e. everytime someone says the word "monkey", the

librarian come out of nowhere and hits them). Even character

interactions can be humourous, (I'll let you discover that for

yourselves..).

Because the game is based on a series of books, it has a lot of injokes,

(like the librarian situation I described earlier), but the makers of

the game have made the game more accessable to non-readers of the books,

as it frequently explains aspect of Discworld to them, (in the form of a

guy with a chalkboard).

The Point:

Play this game! If you don't you will be missing out on an almost

perfect experience. The graphics, gameplay, humour, and general

atmosphere make this game a must have. I instantly reccommend you get

the CD-ROM version, as it has the voices, which add so much to its

atmosphere, (as well as the humour!).
