Download Discworld for Windows – GamesNostalgia – Screenshots
Discworld Noir is set in the most depraved city in the Discworld, Ankh-Morpork, where the sun never shines because it is always night. You play Lewton, a downtrodden P.
Discworld police until he was fired for accepting a bribe. The beautiful and mysterious Carlotta just hired you to find Mundy, her ex-lover. As you start looking into Mundy’s disappearance more missing persons cases present themselves to you. Missing persons start turning up dead with yours truly as the prime suspect.
Throw in a missing artifact, some shady underworld characters, and the ex-girlfriend who broke you heart, and you have all the elements of classic Raymond Chandler noir novels. In a refreshing break from the recent trend of 3D adventures, Discworld Noir is a traditional third-person adventure with a few novel twists. In addition to the standard point-and-click interface, you have a notebook that contains a list of suspects and clues.
You can use the clues and suspects’ names just like any other inventory item: by clicking on its name, then clicking on something else in the environment that you think relates to it. If the two things are related, you will gain new insights that often lead to new clue s appearing in the notebook. This way of simulating the deductive process is highly effective, and fool-proof– since there are dozens of names and locations, it is nearly impossible to deduce new leads by simple trial-and-error.
There are also many other pleasant surprises that keep gameplay fresh and fun, such as a special ability that you also use via the inventory screen, and many unexpected plot twists.
Since you are a P. Unfortunately, this is one of the game’s few weaknesses. While most of the conversation is witty, they are also excessively long– not unlike the previous two Discworld games.
The same criticism also applies to most of the cut-scenes, which end up being mere showcases of the game’s 3D effects rather than integral to the plot. The voice acting is also overdone, although it is somewhat appropriate for the game’s tongue-in-cheek noir style. Despite all my nitpickings about the weak use of multimedia, though, Discworld Noir is an excellent adventure that’s well worth the money.
Its interesting plot and characters, great interface, and challenging puzzles really brings Lewton’s world to life, and make the game’s weaknesses seem trivial. Similar to Adventuresoft’s Feeble Files , all 3 CDs of the game are packed with a lot of solid gameplay and great plot development.
Although this underdog was never released in the US, it is still widely available from stores in Europe-based on-line stores at bargain prices. A must-have! Screenshots from MobyGames.

I can’t get it to work, do I need to burn the 3 CD’s to make it work. I can’t get past “Insert disc 2”. How do you use the patche3s that are on this page? The bottom one is getting blocked by my virus software. Is there something wrong with it or does it need the Trojan detected?
Check “Reduced color mode” and choose bit color. Also make sure “Run this program as an administrator” is checked. Then you can run it out of the box fullscreen on Windows 10, or at least it’s working fine for me without any changes. Running in compatibility mode also doesn’t seem necessary.
You need to change the desktop to 16 bit color. Fatso 1 point. Got the game to run and now the game looks like my graphics card took acid. I’m not sure how to fix it and would like any assistance you are willing to give. Guy 3 points. If you get stuck on installing disc 2, unmount the first disc and then mount disc 2, Then unmount 2 to mount 3 etc. I used the loma fix, so the game actually runs now, but my colours are completely messed up, and the screen is all scrunched to one side.

I’m using Win10 via parallels on a Mac I’m guessing that’s not ideal and have tried Win Xp compatibility but same issue. I am desperate to get this working as it was always one of my favourite games to play on playstation, but not sure I can handle the slow loading and dodgy graphics now.
ARK7 1 point. HI, I have a copy of the original CD, I have tried to use them, your zipfiles and the fix file all to no avail. Is there a guide for me to get this to work??
There is a youtube vid but it is too bleary for me to follow. I can follow instructions well, I am clearly missing something. With the fix file there is not ‘setup. I now it is frustrating for tech literates to pander to one such as me but i’m a huge Discworld fan.
Pretty please? First old school game I have tried to revive. Been trying to run this game on my Dell inspiron since I bought the damn thing back when windows 7 came out. Works like a charm and it’s the only app I use on Windows Yes, the mouse cursor sometimes takes a second to find, but that might have happened in w98; I can’t remember that far back.

Hi All, The fix from loma works very fine only thing i needed to do additionally was to reduce the colors to 65k in the compatibility-mode I even can confirm that the fix works for non-English-Versions, as i used it to fix my german-version.
I don’t know if thats due to a false-positiv of the scanner or if the file is really corrupted.. Ark7 0 point. PsycMonkey, you can find the patch in the game extras in the download section of this page.
In order to stop this Rincewind must transform himself into a legendary hero. In true adventure fashion, Rincewind must collect items, talk to the locals, and solve puzzles, with a little humor on the side. This game is a good title for anyone who loves the Discworld series and adventure gamers who enjoy a little humor. Review by: Tasha Published: 25 February pm. Great game!

It is also my most favorite, even though Rincewind the hero from the other two games is nowhere to be found, and light-hearted humor has been replaced by forboding atmosphere and shady characters. The one thing that Discworld Noir has in common with its predecessors, though, is the sharp British wit Discworld Noir is set in the most depraved city in the Discworld, Ankh-Morpork, where the sun never shines because it is always night.

ARK7 -1 point. Is it possible to fix that? Only 6 of 72 in virustotal. I found recommendation to disable DEP but it is quite annoying and I had good results with running only dn.
The game so far worked fine and I had no antivirus problem. My original purpose was to make the game run in every resolution. I got the game to play but now it’s virtually unplayable due to unbelievably slow frame rate.
Any idea about what might be causing it and how to fix it? FPMIP 1 point. Win10 Without any compatibility stuff. Feel free to use it. Good luck! SplitHead 2 points. Fortunately, I was able to get the game running straight from the Windows Finally, I started the game with the freshly patched file. ColdBloodedLeeroy 0 point. I ran into a lot of problems with stuttering audio and choppy video on VB, and after trying absolutely everything, I switched to VMWare.
It handles Win98 much better than VB. FreebirthOne 0 point. Damn, I completely forgot about this! But it’s nice that I could help some people plaing it. Lower the resolution on your computer my lowest was x and use the same in your virtual Win98 machine.

It seems that you’re using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should or don’t work at all. What is GOG. If you believe that a wish duplicates another one or is not meant for the category, use Options button above to report a duplicate or spam. If there is an item you wish to have on GOG. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but GOG are not exactly consumer friendly anymore. Oh please make this happen! This, Monkey Island and Full throttle made my childhood I remember seeing a friend playing this when we were both kids and it always looked like a blast.
They had the other games in the series too and looking back, I’m a little jealous lol. Hopefully this does come to GOG, would love to give it a proper play! This was an amazing game that simply needs to be on GOG.
I would also be happy if discworld 1, 2 and noir could be bought from you. With german soundtrack would be nice! Please find and release these Best Games. I love the gallows humor and also the german voice of Rincewind!!
Terry s daughter has spoke to gog but unfortunately they don’t own the rights to the games just the characters so the chances of a re-release are unlikely going to happen which is disappointing. Discworld 1 and 2 on GOG would be only natural and legit. They were among the first games I looked for when I registered years ago.
It is like the books, which are about various characters in Discworld sometimes characters from one book meet with characters from another, but in this case it is very little overlap.
Yes, there’s a way to obtain them from abandonware sites I’m really thankful for them , but being able to purchase the legal copy would be great. I have started playing this on my PS1 recently retrieved from my loft, it would be amazing to get an updated GOG version. One of the true gems that sadly aren’t here yet : – I miss it very much and will buy the moment it’s possible! I am eagerly waiting for this one. Hopefully, it will happen one day. Yes please. I’d love to buy them, pirated versions do not feel right.
Absolute wanna see Discworld 1 – 3 would buy it instantly dont matter the price even in preium hyper deluxe edition also would gift it to all of my friends. Those wishes are duplicates of this one: Add another. Send report. This wish is a spam.
