A series of novels «Discworld» sold in the United States and the United Kingdom with a total circulation of 12 million copies. Its author , the eccentric Englishman by the name of Terry Pratchett , came up with the world is round and flat as a pancake that is floating in space on the shell of an enormous turtle , and peopled it to be extremely strange creatures . Part of the world -ROM parodies some cliche of post- Tolkien fantasy novels , but this , of course , the idea is not reduced . Pratchett boundless ingenuity , humor and the most amazing way combines the warmth and easy cynicism .
The game begins in the city of Ankh- Morpoke - one of the most famous places where the action is a series of novels «Discworld». This city is described as "... just as full of activity and a thriving business , like a dead dog on a termite mound ." Somewhere in hiding malicious and a fire-breathing dragon , he eats the local population and setting fires . To find and defeat him, clearly needs a hero. The situation is complicated by the fact that , according to the authorities , the dragons do not happen in nature , therefore, no need to deal with them - and the change in the official point of view can , God forbid, lead to an undesirable drop authority bosses. Those wishing to show heroism is not , and the Rector of the University of magicians appoints to the post - dropout wizard Rincewind - it is very likely that in this case he does not think so much about how to rid the city of the dragon , and the fact that most to get rid of the burden .
As with all adventure games , here you have to walk a lot, talk to other characters and explore new places . It is also necessary to collect information and magic (and common) items - gradually going to have a considerable pile of Rincewind pozhitok . Fortunately, he is accompanied by a reasonable and a roomy trunk with legs - Porter , who can even stand up for his master in case of danger.
The style of graphics «Discworld» adventure game reminiscent of some of the company «Sierra» - animation or comics , but with a great sense of style. Without a good knowledge of English will remain the humor beyond the perception of the player , and therefore , the program will lose almost half of its charm.
