This brought me back to my childhood playing this and the only video game my Dad actually took interest in, he liked Terry Pratchett style humor and would watch me play. Both my parents have long since passed away but this reminded me of ol pops. Bittersweet feelings but thanks for the upload.
Eric Idle (Monty Python) and Tony Robinson (Blackadder's Baldrick) are in this hilarious masterpiece of 1990's adventure games. The humor is excellent =D
I remember playing this as a kid and being frustrated as most of the convo went right over my head. Now as a fully literate adult I still find it bonkers.
One of - it not the best - literary creations ever. All those wonderful characters and the marvelous world, had to believe we'll ever see another writer like Sir Terry Pratchett.
LOL. Me too. I played it on my brothers playstation, and I would get stuck on puzzles for hours. Then after my brain started hurting, I just played Resident Evil. LOL
Haha me too!! Me and my sister used to play this for hours on the PC!! We never got to the dragon!! So I have no idea how it ends! Watching now and looking forward to it!! 😊
I think I might have liked to play that game too. Rincewind is usually my least favourite character of the books, but in this case I love him, because it's Eric Idle.
And this was the game that had to have Jon Pertwee (3rd doctor) in it. How ironic since the doctor meets with Eric and Tony in this one (there were rumors for the 8th doctor was to be played by Eric Idle)
This is a lot of fond memories on top of fond memories, mixed with a kind of sadness. It's all overall good, but I lack the words to make things suitably "bittersweet".
This game is amazing, this should come to the Nintendo Switch. Discworld was very advanced for its time on the PC. I just watched the first 20 minutes of it and I'm very entertained, that this came out when I was a newborn.
I never cared about this game when I was young. Even if I did, there was no way for me get it. I do now regret not playing this game and its sequel. Same with Simon the Sorceress 1 and 2. This is just pure comedy gold 6 hours STRAIGHT. Also I love how this game gives you effect texts for hitting sounds.
I caught myself thinking "if ever they do a live-action Rincewind, Eric is perfect" and then remembered David Jason doing his level best in that godawful Colour of Magic adaptation. Fuck _me_ but that was something else. My brain forgot out of self-defence.
While he was a good actor in that sub par adaption, I also thought he was too old for Rincewind. (I also pictured Twoflower as the Japanese tourist stereotype and not the American tourist stereotype like Sean Astin did). Then again, my intro to Discworld back in the 90's was this game, so he's a redhead to me. And whenever I read the books, I hear Eric Idle's voice as Rincewind. Eric Idle would have been too old too, but yeah, Rincewind will always be Eric Idle to me.
@@noirakita428 When I read the books I started picturing Twoflower looking like a stereotypical German tourist. So the Twoflower in the movie didn't seem like such a bad choice.
I don't think the Discworld can really do live-action adaptations well; it's just too literary-based and full of pun(e)s that only really work in text form. I need to try the animations though.
Wow, I just discovered the book series a couple days ago and now I am finding all of this great shit to learn. I have to read the many books, and now I have to play the game!
Have you watched the animated series? Search on discwold wyrd sisters and Discworld soul music, there are other games like discworld noir, and discworld the second game mortality bites, and I also think there is an live action thing too
@@jayamilapersson4030 There's a live action version of Colour of Magic, too. As well as Going Postal. there's also Troll bridge, which is really good, too. Terry Pratchett had a hand in writing that, but passed away just before the script was finalized.
@@advandenkerkhof9221 Only one other game, wasn't it? Eric Idle seems to fit Rincewind rather well, though Discworld Noir has been said to be the best of the three.
@@Here_is_Waldo I have no idea who said that but they're dead freaking wrong! I loved the first two and love them still! Didn't like Noir that much despite the theme.
I absolutely loved this game as a kid….at first I thought it was mundane and slow placed but the storyline, humor, and even the graphics for the time was actually ahead of the entire generation of video gaming….what I wouldn’t do to go back in time to the SNEW or Playstation 1 days to be able to play all these games for the 1st time again 😭
R.I.P. Terry Pratchett :( I played this game on the PS1 i remember the first one to be more fun then the second. Verry good point and click game. If you want similar experience try DEPONIA :)
Legends and there video games be loved and true to our heart and also legends never die and neither does our love for the games and voices and legends.
I still have the box and CDs for this game and the sequel. Music is a bit loud here though. I find it funny that whoever is doing the voices of the two characters in the alleyway in the beginning are really doing a decent job at imitating a drunk Dudley Moore and a young sounding Michael Cain.
what's up with the drum beats and the triangle tings? I looked up the soundtrack and it seems there's a little bit of a bug with those in this walkthrough.
I legitimately thought I broke the game or the disc was scratched at the "repetitive creatures" bit and keep going. Then i got the joke as rincewind gave in lol
I'm a bit stuck at the moment. I'm trying to get the glass of counterwise wine from the bartender (around 56:00) and all the guides say just talk to the bartender and he'll give me some. But all he ever says for me is "you'll need money if you want to buy a drink". I've tried examining the green bottle behind him first and attempting both in the past and the present and I still can't get my glass. Has anybody else had this problem?
I've seen a lot of things saying the puzzles don't make any sense, and in a way that is true... And while I doubt I could have figured out the puzzles myself, if you know the desired result, all the information you need is in the books... Just follow discworld logic :D
I wanted to play this game again and was able to find a website to play online, but it broke at 2:51:30 and wouldn't let me go up the stairs :( I'd make it to them, but then am told to "shut up and sit down" again
Can I ask how you got the sound so good? Do you play it in dosbox? I tried both dosbox and scummvm, but didn't get the (midi?)sound sounding as good as in this video. I have the original CD version of the game. I do get music, but it sounds as if it uses a primitive midi-device or somethign like that. :-(
Possibly using a 20 year old computer? They're not hard to find and are often the best way to get the sound and graphics the way the game was intended to have.
@@Here_is_Waldo In the meanwhile I figured out that dosbox itself does not do a good job on emulating advanced midi sound. Using something as VirtualMIDISynth in combination woth Dosbox will give you MUCH better sound, just like in this video!
GreatBigRanz There were several recurring main characters in the Discworld books. The first one was Rincewind; Vimes came later. I think they picked Rincewind over Vimes because a) he was the original main character, and b) his personality was better for a video game, as Rincewind always goes on long meandering adventures (usually by accident and hating every moment), which is the plot of this game. If Vimes was the main character they would have had to make it a police detective story.

Rest in peace Terry Pratchett. A toast to your awesomeness and a revisit to one of my favorite point&click games of all times!
It's sad we loose legends yet there games and voices live on.
Eric Idle (Monty Python) and Tony Robinson (Blackadder's Baldrick) are in this hilarious masterpiece of 1990's adventure games. The humor is excellent =D
Amazingly, I just flipped to a random part of the video and recognized both of them in an instant
24:46 Nudge Nudge
You kinda needed humor for point-and-click games or peope would eventually get bored. The humor is why certain ones are considered such classics.
Rob Brydon too, Jon Pertwee, and I swear I hear Phil Cornwell in some characters but he's not in the credits.
Did you get the number of that donkey cart?
No .
SORE-ASS
Did anyone get the name of that donkey in a donkey kart.
@@azuredragonofnether5433 Finally, after all this time...
"I'LL SEE YOU LATER"
"How much later?"
"DON'T START READING ANY LONG BOOKS..."
Ahhh, Death.
I had this back in the day. It was what got me reading disc world.
I've been looking for this game for 20 years no joke
Rincewind: "Excuse me, I seem to be in the wrong conversation."
Troll: "WIBBLE!"
You're not wrong, Rincewind.
Well he is somewhat.
I remember playing this as a kid and being frustrated as most of the convo went right over my head. Now as a fully literate adult I still find it bonkers.
''Shut up, sit down, no talking! If you're mad, you don't want to go around infecting everybody else!''
Haha This quote is still ringing in my hippocampus after all these years
I used to keep clicking on her so she can say it again 😂
reading all the books again, will always love the discworld!
One of - it not the best - literary creations ever. All those wonderful characters and the marvelous world, had to believe we'll ever see another writer like Sir Terry Pratchett.
This pretty much introduced me to the Discworld series.
Same, except I didn't go further, except for its successor.
I went crazy trying to figure out this game as a kid.
LOL. Me too. I played it on my brothers playstation, and I would get stuck on puzzles for hours. Then after my brain started hurting, I just played Resident Evil. LOL
Haha me too!! Me and my sister used to play this for hours on the PC!! We never got to the dragon!! So I have no idea how it ends! Watching now and looking forward to it!! 😊
That doesn’t work
Facts, this game had me lost at least 100 times at the bare minimum LMAO 🤣 😭
I had to find walkthroughs online to get me to the end of the game
This takes me back
Loved this game back in the days and still love it today. Would be nice to see it being re-released on GOG and maybe Steam, too.
GOG?
Oh my god! Jimmy Hibbert from Cosgrove Hall voices The Patrician!
You can download the CD version of the game from abandonware sites. It opens automatically in dosbox
@@vickykeeler4837 A young Rob Brydon
Needs to come to ps5 not enough point n clicks on it in fact theres zero
Nostalgia and comedy to put smiles on faces!
Absolutely fantastic game. It's a real shame they don't make point and click adventures like this any more.
I been playing something called Deponia and it reminds me of Discworld :D
I think I might have liked to play that game too. Rincewind is usually my least favourite character of the books, but in this case I love him, because it's Eric Idle.

Great find. Always fun to see a game voiced by Eric Idle.
Such a good and difficult game getting the sound to work on. Modern computers is very difficult but I've managed it with scum vm.
Rest in Peace Terry Pratchett. Storytelling became a little less funny now but we'll always remember you on that great big Turtle in Space.
❤awe legends never die at least we have the lovely games and voices that become a legend. May this legend be true to our lives.
@@HimakaCapersCreator Exactly! 👍
I still remember renting this from the library every Friday and never being able to get the sound to work.
I used to have this on Demo, loved playing it but I had no idea what I was doing, haha.
I wish I had access to this game when I was a kid, I played simon the sorcerer and loved playing it
4:55:50 I knew there was a reason I was drawn to Terry pratchet.
I never cared about this game when I was young. Even if I did, there was no way for me get it. I do now regret not playing this game and its sequel. Same with Simon the Sorceress 1 and 2.

The music is as loud as i remembered.
They toned down the music when it was released on the PlayStation.
WHAT!?! I CANT READ YOU ITS TOO LOUD!!!
you can improve the music with the Enhanced Soundtrack mod
I miss this game so much! I never finished it!
The voice Rob Brydon filled in for Eric idle as rincewind when idle was absent is comical 😂
As a teen in the late 90's, I can proudly say that I finished this game without hints or walkthroughs.
And I mean really proud.
Man, I wish Eric Idle and others of the MP gang had done more Discworld stuff.
They did.

love this game, and the books
Awesome game for its time
I got this game for christmas after playing the demo on ps1

damn 6 hours...o.O well.. did´nt want to sleep anyway xD
The games music is amazing
I love this game!
I racked up a massive phone bill calling the puzzle helpline for this game. Parents weren't best pleased. Good times
9:44 that annoying bell sound is due to an error wirh the emulator and its midi abilities. The pc/mac one wasnt annoying like that
6:14 Redmond Herring, and my name is Edmund Herring, I was amazed to hear a name so close to mine in a game.
1:37 this and the other walkthrough video have complete different music at that point to what the mac version had.
Odd that.
this is a pretty nice game, with nice humor. I like it.
This is all your fault you know, now they got me on therapy
Jon Pertwee is in this game?
+oopus4 The voice of Windle Poons and many more.
George Reid
Thanks for that information
The IMDB page for this game has a complete voice list for Jon Pertwee's involvement in the game. :)
Another good one, thanks for the upload! In some places the music overpowers the voice acting, though.
hey I know you don't I?
I still have the box and CDs for this game and the sequel. Music is a bit loud here though. I find it funny that whoever is doing the voices of the two characters in the alleyway in the beginning are really doing a decent job at imitating a drunk Dudley Moore and a young sounding Michael Cain.
Can Kickstarter redraw the graphics, animate more beautifully, and compose a rendition of the game music?
You can't improve perfection
1:44:58 pep? i swear that was taken from putt-putt’s dog its the same exact bark.
Correct 😅 same sfx
Holy fuck I've been looking for this for ages, and now I've finally found it!
3:33 i never caught the murderer right behind the building
Haha same

YuniQ9 Gaming
That’s what I was thinking too it’s distracting. Would not have bothered me if he would have taken the music off. Oh well.
Yes. It should be that loud.
Where can I get the game? Also bloody good ah,
Thanks for this.

Problem solved. I'd not taken the pouch out of my wardrobe. Literally the first thing you're supposed to do when you start the game.
ah yes this brings back memories, sadly i only played the shareware version back in the day
Loved the books, just found this. Love it too
I've seen a lot of things saying the puzzles don't make any sense, and in a way that is true... And while I doubt I could have figured out the puzzles myself, if you know the desired result, all the information you need is in the books... Just follow discworld logic :D
There is more games and also some cartoon movie series and live action film.

4:54:54 What happened to his voice?
My game bugged. I'm in act 2 and the tile to get on the roof doesn't activate anymore, so I can't clog the chimney.
You only think so. You got a bug inside.
old good days
Trying to remember the name of this game was hard work.. I could only remember the pagemaster movie and it being similar 🤣
Nice playthrough! I was wondering where you bought the game, I can't find it on my own.
Its the story of the book guards guards but with rincewind for some reason I don't know why
Did You already get the number of this donkey cart?
Well this sure is nostalgic
"That doesn't work" not to be confused with, "Nothin' happens."
Ohhh my back time I miss it
2:22:15 how on earth were you supposed to figure that out?
It is in one of the books
As in a note of a footnote xD
Most of these puzzles are mentioned in/obscure references to one of the books somewhere
sadly the music is louder than the speech at some points
Your problem !
Why did they replace Vimes with Rincewind?

Which was Discworld Noir. Well, a film noir private eye story anyway.
"That doesn't work."
That kitchen music at 1:56:17 slaps tho
I love that music lol.
Eric idle from Monty python's is the voice of Rincewind
Only wish the music was toned down a littlebit, besides that, hilarious fun:)
where you get this games from o.O
O own em
U must be from a new generation which dont know oldschool games
3:58:00 feels like im being beaten upside the head with a drum constantly
Eric Idle??
The one and only
