Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!
Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! is the second point-and-click adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's series of fantasy novels set on the mythical Discworld. The game was developed and produced by Perfect Entertainment for the PC in 1996 and ported to the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1997. It was published by Psygnosis for the PC and PlayStation, and by Sega for the Saturn (in Europe only). In Discworld II, the player controls Rincewind, the "Wizzard" (voiced by Eric Idle, as in the previous game), who is tasked with bringing Death out of his impromptu retirement and forcing him to perform his regular duties. The plot borrows from a number of Discworld books, most notably Reaper Man, Moving Pictures and Lords and Ladies. It all begins in a quiet street in Ankh-Morpork, where Rincewind and the librarian inexplicably do not die from a nearby cart bomb explosion. The strange event doesn't just affect them, however: Reports are coming in all over town that the dead are reawakening and alarming the populace, prompting the Archchancellor of the University of the Unseen to interrupt his usual activities of feasts and celebrations to bring the situation under control. Much to Rincewind's despair, he is entrusted with the task of finding Death and convincing him to resume his work.
