, like Rainbow 6, eh?

[BeefontheBone]

To be fair, there have been 3 computer games based on the series, plus a (rather excellent) board game (which features heavily in the - also rather excellent -  book of the same name - Thud!). That's not counting the figurines, maps, tie-in books (2 Discworld Companions, Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, the three Science of Discworld books and 3 fantastic childrens' books), and probably some other stuff I've missed.

Soul Music is my favourite - just wait until you get to the Dean's jacket

I only remember coming across Discworld games... not  books.

If you enjoyed the game(s), the books ought to be right up your street

No, lawl.

I'm reading a book called "Windows Support Page". It's very interesting, it offers tips on the "Windows Security Center" game, where you have to figure out how to exit out of the program!

[DeathDude]

No way not that book. Craziness. It's definitely a must read that everyone needs to check out.

Heretic!
It doesnt matter! Anybody who doesnt like the Discworld series is messed up!!!

ARGH!

[BeefontheBone]

Not abandonware, though apparently there's a possibility of them being released as freeware, which would be nice

[DakaSha]

do you remember the names of the games?

[BeefontheBone]

Huh? You mean Discworld, Discworld II and Discworld Noir?

[DakaSha]

"Bla bla bla... A Discworld Game"

or something

(I'm unsure of the regulations on posting links such as these on AR, mods, feel free to get rid of that link if I've broken any rules)

Yup. Discworld seems to be released as Freeware in the future, but until then it is classified as abandonware. Which is illegal content for AR. Only freeware can be linked to from this forum.

Not as dull as it sounds. Quite a good read, in fact, even if you're not all that interested in linguistics.

Well I'd recomend Accross Cultures (have my own copy, butt he scaner is down).
