Discworld II - Mortality Bytes

[TaloN]

right:

i love these games (1 and 2) , dont have noir, and i noticed HOTU has thm. are they abandoned? heres my findings:
discworld 1:
-sold on amazon USED copies...
-Psygnosis has been taken over by sony... so no longer exists as the little firm from liverpool (uk) it once was
-prognosis: 90% sure abandoned
discworld 2:
-still sold as far as i could work out from amazon
therefore not abandoned

anyone know anything more about discowrld 1?

[samus2k]

i have it the 3 parts i think .. i got tolook in my files but surely the 1 an 2 i have it but the problem is where do i send them to you ?

(sorry for the english its because im spanish) :Brain: :Brain:

[TaloN]

ive got them mate, was just inquiring as to their state of abandonment.

[samus2k]

ohhhhh sorry ..... ok :whistle: :whistle:

[Tom Henrik]

They are abandoned.

[Kon-Tiki]

None of those companies seem to exist anymore (Psychnosis, Perfect 10 Productions and Teeny Weeny Games), but it's in BHLegend's list, yet not for download there. I presume there're still royalties for the first Discworld game that go to Pratchett, and that it's not for download on there, as there's nothing 'bout IDSA, which otherwise is.

ill clean up and review my discworld 1 then :D

[BigBaboon15]

SO, you'll offer both Discworld 1 and 2? (WITH SOUND?) I got Discworld 1 from Home of the Underdogs and it works fine, but their Discworld 2 doesn't have sound.

I have the first two games (had Noir on PSX, but I sold it after I finished it, because it sucks). They're brilliant. Eric Idle is perfect as Rincewind.

But, Discworld II: Missing, Presumed...? is on two CDs, so a complete version is probably far too large for Abandonia.

[Iron_Scarecrow]

It's 100 MB. I thought you don't allow games above 30 MB unless they really worth it. Is Discworld 1 worth it?

[Wael]

I believe, due to the new server,
that it´s 100 now,
and above that only if it´s truly worth it-/

Well, it's not sure right now yet. And it's up to Kosta to decide that, anyway. ;)

funnily enough i have the complete 2 cd version of discworld 2. i also have noir on pc but i haven't been bothered to finish it, it doesn't have the the same sharp wit in the humor that the first 2 had.

[wormpaul]

IMO

Discoworld is worht it :ok:

Don't you play a detective in Noir. Detective stories are never humourous.

Yes, you do, Yes, they are

[Iron_Scarecrow]

Ok well yes I suppose they are. I just remembered a book called the Falcons Maltesers, written by Anothony Horrowits, and that did have humour in it.

[mouse31e]

Noir is not abw!

[Iron_Scarecrow]

We know. :ok:

[mouse31e]

That's fine.

Just checking people know before someone get's carried away and reviews it! :D

[JJXB]

if noir isn't abw, why is it up for download on hotu?

edit - the link to it is http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=1505

[Iron_Scarecrow]

Strange. :blink:

[mouse31e]

It's definately not abw! :D

I nearly bought it yesterday but it isn't compatible with XP! :cry:

It's in one of the budget ranges but I can't remember which one!

Underdogs are breaking the rules!!!

EDIT: Best of Infogrames/Atari is the range its in!

[JJXB]

it is compatible with xp, i can run it on xp :)

[mouse31e]

Maybe I'll buy it then but the box very clearly says 'This game is not compatible with Windows XP'!

Very Odd! :blink:

[Iron_Scarecrow]

I have XP, and I can't run my copy.

[Stroggy]

I can't install my copy either.
Real pity, its a great game.

[wormpaul]

HOTU breaks a lot the rules..

They got lot games that arent abandonned :help:

[bjbrains2002]

ya, a lot of their games aren't AW. They are much less "kosher" than abandonia.

[punch999]

yep i agree they need to thnk more b4 they upload alot of the games like mgs1
and stuf like tht

[dwarfo]

It is a great game and i didn`t find it on ABANDONIA i miss it there. If it real idea if the owners would think of it :bye:

[dwarfo]

Does somebody even know this game http://www.freeoldies.com/screenshotbank/66gjesn44c.gif
