CHUCKY CHUCKY. Discworld Noir is a video game published in 1999 on Windows by GT Interactive Software Europe Ltd. It's an adventure game, set in a detective / mystery, fantasy, licensed title, graphic adventure, puzzle elements and werewolves themes. A world, and a mirror of worlds. The Discworld, a flat planet carried by four elephants standing on the back of a gigantic space-turtle (sex unknown), is the venue for Sir Terry Pratchett's long running fantasy series. The first few books were a straightforward parody of Heroic Fantasy tropes, but later books have subverted, played with, and hung lampshades on practically every trope on this.

Description of Discworld

Two of the most underrated adventure games ever, both Discworld games are based on Terry Pratchett's pun-filled fantasy Discworld series, in which the whole world is carried through space by a turtle, and idioms and puns do have a life of their own.

As bumbling wizard Rincewind, prevent the Dragon from destroying the world in Discworld 1 and find a way to convince the disillusioned Death to resume his day job in the sequel. Both games have great humor (although dialogues drag on at times), and some of the most devious but logical puzzles ever designed. Famed Monty Python veteran Eric Idle's performance as the voice of Rincewind is flawless, althought some dialogues are very long-winded to the point of frustrating. Clever puzzles and hilarious animations, however, more than make up for it.

Highly recommended for Pratchett fans and fans of zany adventure games in general-- just be prepared to sit through very long (and sometimes tedious) dialogues. Two thumbs up!

There are apparently three versions of this game.
Version 1 - the first release, with bugs.
Version 2 (aka. Director's cut) - the second release, with many of the bugs patched.
Version 3 (aka. The Director's other cut) - the third (final) release which patched the last remaining bugs, and considered the perfect version.
Where could you find the 3rd version? I only see the floppy, first version, and second version.

The game runs with French subtitles. How do I get English subtitles please?

Crazy Question: How would I go about installing this in ScummVM? I personally don't have a lot of experience with the program, and despite trying repeatedly, I cannot for the life of me get this to work.

If your having any issues, you can try using https://www.scummvm.org/ to run it

I have just solved my sound issue with this game by copying the individual contents of the drivers folder into the main discwld.cd folder. Hope this helps. ; )

Arnizipal2018-10-121 point

The trick with installing this game is that it can only be installed on (what the game thinks) is the C drive.
I downloaded the ISO version and mounted it on drive L.
Then I copied the Discworld folder to my Games folder on the D drive.
After starting up DosBox I used the following command to make the game think the mounted ISO was my CD ROM drive:
MOUNT L L: -t cdrom
After that I mounted my game folder on the D drive, which I gave the alias C
MOUNT C D:GamesDiscworld
Now you can run the game with the DWU.exe in the DosBox command line.
To set up sound, as Elph-kun mentioned, you should copy the Drivers folder to the new discwld.cd game folder that DosBox created. You can do this in windows.
After that is done, run the Setsound.exe command in discwld.cd from DosBox and you should be able to set up SoundBlaster sound for everything.

when i go into the setsound and try and set it for the sound blaster 16 it says could not save configuration file. Pc vs mac video editing.

yeetle2018-07-280 point

I had this game on floppy when i was a kid!
Can't wait to play it again!

agjerde2018-07-161 point

Got the floppy version. Could not get any sound to work on DosBox. Switched to ScummVM and it solved the problem.

KC2018-04-300 point

I have now tried both versions and still no sound. I guess it can be played with no sound, but sound would be a nice touch.

KC2018-04-300 point

I have the DOS game up and running in Boxer on a Mac, I have set up the sound using SoundBlaster as instructed, which works for most games. However, like Sirawsmface64 has stated, I have no sound. But DAVE says he has the game running perfect on a MAC, but can't save. I think I downloaded the ISO version, but will try again with the floppy version.

Elph-kun2018-04-233 points

Anyone having problems with getting audio working:
After installing the program to your DOSbox 'C' drive, copy the contents of the 'Drivers' folder in the ISO to c:discwld.cd
Then run Setsound.exe and you should be good to go.

ekez2018-04-12-1 point

why is there no audio with the floppy version?

Jozef Novak2017-10-040 point

Super! This game excelent!

I.M. MEEN2017-08-101 point

i wanna be the first person in a video game to say f***

Sirawsmface642017-02-260 point

I'm not getting any sound, even after i made the resident sblaster.

admin2016-02-26-1 point

@arf: do you honestly think a 385 MiB download is not the CD version?

arf2016-02-26-1 point

@Admin, is this download the cd version? cause I searched your site and none other than this is available.

dogpuke2015-06-03-8 points DOS version

To all those who can't get this to run try SCUMMVM.

Dave2015-05-280 point DOS version

This game runs perfectly on a mac but i can't seem to access the save menu or save the game at all. Does anyone know how to do it?

Erik2015-05-262 points DOS version

Got it to work using Dosbox, but later it started saying that it couldn't find the disk (heh.). Any suggestions?

meltedplasticarmyguy2015-05-030 point DOS version

I can not get this to even load up. I am using the latest D-Fend. The screen will flash and go back to D-Fend.

Sneaky Wizard2014-09-02-2 points DOS version

It is saying there is a windows compatibility problem :(

alucard2014-07-110 point DOS version

Espero que funcione gracias

sasu2014-05-13-1 point DOS version

yaw

sweed2014-03-260 point DOS version

thanks

admin2014-03-17-2 points DOS version

Now the CD version is available, enjoy it!

Quelohasdedicho2014-03-09-1 point DOS version

For the save problem: Create a folder inside the game folder, with the name discwld, and inside this one create another folder with the name save. If this doesn't work, create a folder with the name save directly in the game folder.

L3d2014-02-190 point DOS version

Cole2014-02-020 point DOS version

Marellya2013-07-204 points DOS version

My father used to read the discworld novels to me when i was small and i played this (Installed on my 'pc' if you could call it that back then on 22 floppy discs haha).
My father recently died and this is just what i need to remember him by.

Rosanne2013-07-180 point DOS version

I have a huge probnlem - I couldn't save. Only thing I can do is to keep PC hibernated and don't close game till I beat it..

Beetle Bailey2013-01-091 point DOS version

This is a true gem! Dear GOD I spend so much time on this one back in 1996!
However : Some puzzles are VERY difficult, so using a walkthrough when stuck is not wrong in any sense. And trust me, despite being am old 'spelunker' I was tearing my on hair out sometimes back then!
Hint : I was stuck at giving c*****d to Nanny Ogg for atleast 2 month before I gave in and found a walkthrough.

Carlsgro2013-01-08-2 points DOS version

the cartoon was good, game was average, slightly sad

Ginja2012-10-052 points DOS version

Discworld is an amazing experience (as are the novels) but there is a reason why the file size is so small - sound files for a game that has complete voice acting officially by the amazing Eric Idle.
The good news is that the entire game IS subtitled by default. So you can enjoy the experience, but without audio, you're truly missing out.
