Sony swallowed up Psygnosis (the Discworld developers) many years ago but I don't know if they still hold the rights to their games.

However, if they do, and considering they are offering us a re-mastered Grim Fandango for PC, wouldn't it be nice if they remastered the Discworld games for PC some time too ??

I would certainly be at the head of the queue yay

I love the Discworld games. It would also be nice if they were to show up on GOG. smile

At the moment, Mad, Sony is not offering us anything.

I'm looking on the bright side re Grim Fandango, traveler, after hints of a PC version surfaced razz

And yes, Marian. If the Discworlds ever DO get tweaked for us by GOG .. What an absolute blast THAT would be !! happydance

Yes, I've bought several games from that seller, LeBelleRachael, and they have all played perfectly.
But they are not "re-mastered".
They are the original releases tweaked to work on modern machines smile

I bought some old games from the seller to. Just to mention one (Full Throttle) and he sends you some free games. They all installed and played perfect. Another game was Ripper.

Discworld I and II play using ScummVM. I've got both of them running on my Windows 7 64 bit computer.

Yes. I too am able to play the Discworlds on my more modern machines - but "re-mastered" versions would be a huge treat !! laugh

I wholeheartedly agree! I loved these games. I have put them on suggested games on both GoG and Steam. Checked out the seller above but pretty expensive to buy all 3 games especially as I'm in the UK. I really wish they could be made available for download. If they were remastered....even better!
