2. Discworld
Adapting anything from Terry Pratchett's Discworld was always going to be a daunting task. Using the genre of point and click to do so turned out to be a fitting way to honor the series. This style allowed the game to feature the trademark humor of the books along with great graphics to bring the extensive world to life. Impressively the main character is voiced by Eric Idle along with backup from other great sources including Rob Brydon and Baldrick himself, Tony Robinson. Like most point and click adventures it featured the usual item collecting, conversations and puzzle solving only this time within the madcap, hugely popular world of Terry Pratchett's books. Discworld proved to be a particularly difficult entry into adventure gaming history. It didn't have as smooth a system as some of the other games on the list and at sometimes felt a bit clunky. Additionally some of the items needed were ridiculously small within the world map, making some puzzles a frustrating experience. It also included a fair bit of trekking back and forth between the same areas. For those with the patience to brave that and the difficulty though, it is a rewarding experience especially for those who are die-hard fans of Pratchett's work already. Though not the complete package, its humor alone was almost enough to keep playing.
