Footnotes

  1. ↑ A template using this abbreviation has been set up to make linking to this game easier. Type the acronym in braces, e.g. {{DVG}} will produce Discworld. 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. ↑ Use this column to sort by Discworld publication order. 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 multiplayer online roleplaying game (like an MMORPG, but with no graphics).
  5. ↑ Discworld MUD has been massively expanded and continues to be maintained by a large subset of the player community. The folks credited with originally creating it in 1991 are David “Pinkfish” Bennett, Craig “Furball” Richmond, Sean A. “Lynscar” Reith and Evan Scott. Derek "Ceres” Harding and Jacqui "Sojan” Greenland are also named as major contributors.
  6. ↑ Released as Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! in the US.
  7. ↑ The work or works on which this game draws.
  8. ↑ If the game is based on or heavily references a specific book, we’ll add it’s position in the Discworld series here.
