What needs to happen is fans of the discworld series get together and hit the BBC Studios website with tons of complaints to them about not rereleasing the games on next gen consoles public presure can make them do this.
@@THESCUMMBAR Just had a look around, think the rights have been passed around from holder to holder, latest was that the last one to have it became defunct and no ones picked it up yet so it just needs a new rights holder who will re release the game.
This and the first one, the simon the sorcerers, Indiana, Monkey islands, Flight of the amazon queen, Beneath a steel sky.......so many good memories all going back to my amiga then early pc's.
I played the demo as a kid and seriously...the fact Death fucks off to Australia (where I'm from) made me laugh so damn hard. I love it all soo soooooo much
Hey I know this is ridiculous to say now after all this time. But if you happen to play the game again some time, when you pick up an item. You can double click on luggage and it gets put into the inventory. So no need to open it up each time. Also works for just picking stuff up and I think to exit the scene. BTW thanks for uploading this 👍
The irony in them asking if people are going to miss this type of genre and game design when it is gone. By 1996, the writing was on the wall; console games didn't have stories, but they were very fun to play and very accessible. Meanwhile, point and click adventure games were stuck in a rut while Shooters-and-RPGs became compelling PC game experiences. Decades later, and while no one missed the esoteric puzzle nature of point and clicks, it's clear that most games could use the sort of writing you only saw in a point and click adventure game.
Me and my brother remember our parents playing this game with this exact phrase being a fond memory, do you by any chance no where or when abouts it is in this walkthrough? TIA 👍
Oh my god, i'm playing the PS1 version my phat PS3 right now with black bars around the screen, this PC version looks amazing. like playing with glasses on. PS1 version is so clunky and stuttery but i do love it
I wouldn't hold your breath. Perfect Entertainment's demise was a mess. Multiple legal cases, internal conflict. The rights to this game specifically are likely spread over multiple companies now (nobody seems to know) and the rights to release a Discworld game are similarly tied up. I'd like to see this as much as the next fan. But I simply don't think the nostalgic market for this game is big enough for anyone to put the time and money in to sorting the legal problems required to even sell the classic version, let alone extra money to remaster it.
I have not watching the whole 3+hours (my goodness your patience!) but was wondering if it includes the Easter Egg we put in where Rincewind meets his DW 1 low-res self? Time point? I'd like to see it in context again.
I just finished the first and starting the second. Was thinking the exact same and not too sold on the music yet 🤨 sure it will be great. Doesn’t seem as difficult either for now, did act 1 with no need for hints or WT
@@TheBloodshower Did you read the books ,im only asking because I never heard of Discworld before playing this game and was wondering if the books helped in any way.
@@kingelder2 I only read the first book in the series after I played through DW 1, 2 and DW Noir. Reading the books will not help you with the game at all.
not goint to lie trying to play through this , i went from being asked to gather three sticks and mouse blood, ive found where i can get mouse blood yet cant be served, and the sticks but cant get them off the two guys and ape, yet i have collected like 20 items inc a fuckign shark , and geuine bottle that captures a whoel pair of steel boots and the smell from the old guys boots ? like , theres no story context at this point , its just wild guesses with a mass of obscurity , even he small chat doesnt help , its really throwing me off trying to enjoy the game
Truly weird when he says "Aren't you gonna miss it when they stop making these games?"... yes, yes I do miss them.
Yep 🥲
And Pratchett throwing rocks from afar...
They need to re-release this on the newer consoles. It seems like the game that everyone's forgotten about but those who knew this loved it.
I believe it's tied up in rights issues. They haven't even been able to sell the original on GOG.com

@@gazberotten2919 are BBC the sole rights holder?
I am quite annoyed that Discworld Noir is still not supported by ScummVM. It is the best part of the series.

4:19 "aren't you gonna miss all this stuff when they stop making these games? aren't you just gonna miss it all?" (1996)
They were already starting to go out of style and fade away at that point for 3D action
I've been looking for this game for over 15 years OMG my life is complete. Thank you. FOund in the end by accident. OW the nostalgia!
i just found it too!!! been searching for years!!!!
Me too
I've also been looking for this game for like 15 years and I found it today, with the help of a friend
This and the first one, the simon the sorcerers, Indiana, Monkey islands, Flight of the amazon queen, Beneath a steel sky.......so many good memories all going back to my amiga then early pc's.
Eric Idle really Nailed Rinsewind!
Better than bloody David Jason's version
Eric Idle as Rincewind is my favorite voice acting casting decision of all time.
@@andrewspraggon3331so true, he made that unwatchable
25years later and I still the quote, sun, sea surf, sand, more surf, and rather persistent jokes about sheep for some reason.
it's amazing how many 90s adventure games i have never heard about
I started playing this and just finished Act 1. That scene caught me off guard. Loved it.
I played the demo as a kid and seriously...the fact Death fucks off to Australia (where I'm from) made me laugh so damn hard. I love it all soo soooooo much
Haha yeah he goes to chill. He's done
Heh, I'm Australian too. Did you ever read The Last Continent, the one where Rincewind ends up in XXXX, ie Australia?

I had this game and i LOVED IT. It reminded me of broken sword
THROWING ROCKS FROM AFAR:
Terry Pratchett
God bless this game.
Ah memories
😍 This game though, we need a remaster!
Lovely Playthrough, thanks matey.
The days when adventure games were all the rage and worth playing along with FPS games.
Dragon! Dragon!

Just the best. No need for any remaster, more to say it'll be hard to find such amazing voices.
Should have a twist, the luggage is not made from sapient peartree. Its just a mimic eating all of Rincewinds stuff.
I remember playing the PS1 demo of this as a kid and never working out how to complete it, watching this back I can understand why 😆
A giant woman holding an ape on a tall building LOL reverse king kong reference
Did somebody get the number of that donkey cart?
One of those games I loved and couldn’t explain 😂😂😂😂
21:39 What about the stuff from the fat mines of Uberwald?
Fantastic upload thx for sharing
Weirdest game ever it shaped my sense of humour
try some Discworld books or audiobooks for more of the same, if you haven't already!
@@joxidearmageddonator882 of course I'm thirty years old
Unlike the cheap quick games of nowadays, the amount of forethought that it had to be put in to this.
my computer kept crashing so I gave up playing this and to take it back to the shop...
Bummer.
Guards! Guards!
Oh my god, i'm playing the PS1 version my phat PS3 right now with black bars around the screen, this PC version looks amazing. like playing with glasses on. PS1 version is so clunky and stuttery but i do love it
Why is there no love in the views?!
I would love to see all of these brought to the new consoles and for them to do a brand new discworld with rincewind as the main character.
Where can we find this game for PC rhis days even to buy
Due to dumbass rights reasons, none of the Discworld games can be bought anywhere. Your best bet is second hand.
This needs the Broken Sword style rerelease.

What, walk round here carrying a troll's head?
That intro is the same as lethal weapon 3 or 4. It's so weird when you see it.
I have not watching the whole 3+hours (my goodness your patience!) but was wondering if it includes the Easter Egg we put in where Rincewind meets his DW 1 low-res self? Time point? I'd like to see it in context again.
I have a video of the easter egg, but I don't do it in the playthrough. Sorry!
Dude. You helped make this game?
@martinw7091 Lead developer on DW1 & 2. Hard work but proud of them 😊
Best game ever!!!!!🎉
What accent does the dwarfs have?
Internet ruined moon logic
BUGGERIT
2:50:56 Susan Sto Helit
So many jokes ahead of their time, like the male trans dwarf and Rincewinds responses to him.
pop corn!
Compared to the first one, graphically it looks toss, but humour wise, it seems to be much more discworld. But both of these games need a re-release.
I just finished the first and starting the second. Was thinking the exact same and not too sold on the music yet 🤨 sure it will be great. Doesn’t seem as difficult either for now, did act 1 with no need for hints or WT
i have a question has anyone ever finished this game without looking up a walkthrough/guide because this game seems impossible to me without one lol
