By convention, we’re hiding parenthetical distinctions like “(videogame)” which are needed to avoid clashes with existing articles. Where it’s not obvious in context, use a regular wiki link and be explicit, e.g. “also appeared in the Discworld adventure game”.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 If the game is based on or heavily references a specific book, we’ll add it’s position in the Discworld series here. Where multiple stories were used as inspiration, we’ve listed all of them in order.
  3. ↑ It was opened to the public in 1992.
  4. ↑ If you’re not familiar with this term, it’s essentially a text-based MMORPG - on online roleplaying game.
