Discworld is a 1995 adventure game developed by Teeny Weeny Games and Perfect 10 Productions. It stars Rincewind the Wizard (voiced by Eric Idle) and is set on Terry Pratchett's Discworld. The game's plot is based roughly around the events in the book Guards! Guards!, but also borrows elements from numerous other Discworld novels.Discworld has been praised for its humour, voice-acting and graphics, though some criticized its gameplay and difficult puzzles.
There are four other Discworld games: a direct sequel to Discworld, titled Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?, Discworld Noir (a stand-alone story starring an original character), a text adventure called The Colour of Magic which strictly adheres to the events of the first Discworld novel and another game based on The Colour of Magic released on mobile phones titled Discworld: The Colour of Magic.
Discworld is a third-person point-and-click graphic adventure game. Rincewind, the player character, moves across a scrolling background, with an overhead map that appears when leaving a city that allows the player to go straight to a location. Items can either be examined or used, and can either be stored in Rincewind's pockets or in the Luggage. In order to progress in the game, Rincewind must collect items, talk to people and solve puzzles.
The PlayStation version is compatible with the PlayStation Mouse, as well as the standard PlayStation controller. However, the Saturn version is not compatible with the Saturn Mouse.
