Discworld

Perfect Entertainment, 1995


Award-winning fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett must have been delighted by this game, for never has a book translated so well to the PC screen. You play the part of Rincewind, the Magical University’s worst wizard-in-training. A strange turn of events leaves you the only one who can defeat a dragon that has been terrorizing Ankh-Morpork, the largest city on the Discworld. Can you save your city from destruction?

The point-and-click interface is a snap to use and your inventory is kept in a walking chest that follows you around like a puppy dog as you move from location to location. The dialogue is marvelously funny and the voice acting makes it hilarious. The fluid cartoon animations are a marvel and will keep you glued to your computer until the game is done.  This one is not to be missed!
