A Point and Click game based off of Creator/TerryPratchett 's titular series of novels, developed by Teeny Weeny Games and Perfect 10 Productions and released by {{Psygnosis}} in 1995 for the PC and PlayStation. This game in question features the character Rincewind (voiced by Eric Idle) and the Luggage [[ExcusePlot trying to stop a dragon summoned by an evil Brotherhood.]] Pratchett's style of humour is incorporated into the game, making for various funny moments along the way. This game is also noted for being [[NintendoHard very difficult]], with explanations not being given for the majority of the puzzles, meaning that often times you will have missed one thing that looked like part of the scenery that could've been picked up. Rincewind simply saying [[MostAnnoyingSound "That doesn't work!"]] for every action he can't perform doesn't help either.
