Carlota.. I love so much this game, waiting for a Discworld game update
OK, I got it to work by using the "fixed exe" from gamecopyworld (dcb-dn10.rar). It will still crash if I click the options button, but I think all the options can be set from within the game. (Press F1 for save and options.) If not they're in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perfect Entertainment\Discworld Noir.
The Newton voice actor is terrible. He has a great detective voice, a bit like Cary Grant, but recites all his lines in the same slightly smug tone, which suggests he isn't paying any attention to the words he's saying. He sounds like a text-to-speech program. And there are a lot of long conversation scenes, and a long opening movie. Looks entertaining, all the same.
I just found the game in a charity shop and installed it on windows 2000: first indications are that it doesn't work, although it does get as far as what might be a loading screen with a picture of the hero on it.
would this game work on windows 2000 or windows xp?
thanks,
Jamie
it's quite strange that a work of Pratchett features such a great plot with twists and turns because he is normally renowned for his characterization. However, I can safely say that, despite the fact the game is darker in tone when compared to the other two, humour has not been thrown out because of this. a brilliant game, if not as good as the previous ones.
One of the worst! Dull, dark and boring!
Brilliant, just plain genius.
Simply the best adventure game ever made.
TEDIOUS!! I cant get anywere
why is there a number three disc in this game ,I have finished the game and have this disc left over ???
