Thanks, lynthorpe. I’ll be interested to hear if this site gets GB approval ….

And if it does, WHAT actual download links YOU used for the Discworld games, as there seem to be a lot of “problematic” posts on site 🥺

I am NOT very techie and I managed to download just fine. No zip files but there are files which allow them to run in Scummv and DOS... at least I think so. Like I said not very tech minded. I just clicked the links next to each game and ran the .exe files. I have an Acer Aspire 15 running Windows 11.
As well as full voice acting (which, as a Brit, I just love as they are well known British actors/comedians) they also run in fullscreen with no stuttering. I did have the odd random shutdown but all was fine once I reloaded a save.
I didn't find any bad reviews when I researched <deleted> or I wouldn't have risked it as I probably wouldn't have known what to do if it had all gone horribly wrong.
Hope GB does approve as I'm sure there are others who would like to enjoy these games again in all their glory.
I read something a few months ago that the Pratchett family would like to re release the games and possibly make more but the rites are part owned by the British crown so I guess there might a few hoops to jump through there.

Hi lynthorpe, I have removed the name of the site for now, pending what Ana has to say about it. Thank you for your understanding and I appreciate the fact that you are trying to help out other forum members. These are all wonderful games, for sure. smile

Quite understand that it needs to be verified.
I couldn't find anything negative anywhere. Antivirus allowed it all ok and no ill affects to laptop. Didn't even need an email address and obviously no financial details.
