The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Hurukan]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
In late 1996 a video game was published for the Sony Playstation
named 'Discworld'. It may have had some other subtitle to it, but
that's unimmportant. A friend and I were playing through the game and
got horribly stuck at some point. All we heard was Rincewind, the main
character, saying, 'That doesn't work.' over and over. Those who
have played that game probably know where I'm coming from there. My
friend and I decided to look up an FAQ site for the game and found the
'Discworld MUD' website. From there I began playing on the MUD. Ever
since, I've been completely hooked.
I enjoy the lighthearted banter among a playerbase which spans the
entire globe on a daily basis. Over the years I've seen the game
evolve into something more along the lines of a culture than a game.
In fact, I don't know where I'd be without 'DW' as I call it.
Well, maybe I'd be outside slowly giving myself skin cancer from the
harmful rays of the sun. That doesn't sound like much fun though,
does it?
